He loves that coupe and I agree better than a GR86 all day
Well we all knew Z4s were great!
But it's good to see them get some "independent" recognition. Coincidentally I test drove a GT86 a couple of months before I bought my first Coupe - it just didn't feel that special. The GR86 may be much better, but is probably what the Toyota should have been in the first place.

Personally, I think most of the bad press is BMW’s own doing. I worked for BMW in the E85/E86 era. In my humble opinion there was way too many variants. They should never have put a 2.0 in it or the none sport seats or some of the shite wheels. Unfortunately all of that polluted the opinion of many.
If BMW had only made sport 2.5-3 ltr and then the M the car would have been more respected and as a result held their value more.
I remember getting beaten in a straight line by a 120d in a 2.0 Z4 when I was a BMW. To an uneducated car person that’s what they would base the opinion of the car on.

Think that might have led to a few Z4 sales :lol: I feel even more I made a good decision getting into one now! I always look forward to getting in it for a drive
Agreed about the front end but I think that's because the back end and rear 3/4 etc is so good. I think it benefits from a little splitter or something on the front so it has a bit more of a chin, that's what I think it lacks, in my opinion anyway.

yes the 3.0 front isn't great but I think the M version - is pretty much on point...
There seems to be a lot more coverage on the Z4M coupe these days. Just needs Chris Harris to announce he was wrong about it back then, and then for the values to sky rocket - Or have an Middle Eastern sheikh bid on a delivery mileage car for 100k.

It's surprising the Coupe didn't sell in higher numbers though. Autocar magazine did a brief review and seemed to really like it:- https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/z4/first-drives/bmw-z4-3.0si-se
But I'd agree the M looks much better at the front without those cloudy foglamps! The M rear looks a bit more purposeful too, although there's nothing wrong with the 3.0Si.
