Is the Z4 35is the greatest car BMW has ever created?

Erm, no, for a number of reasons, its a good car, not a great one, does lots of things well but nothing brilliantly and on most B roads would be handed its backside by a Boxster ...... still like mine a lot but if I wasn't into fast bikes I'd have a sharper car ...
Is this not identical to last week's 'will it be a classic' thread. I'm all for free speech but surely we can do better...
Look, I've had my 35i for a very long time now. I love that car to bits but would I describe it as being a great BMW, not really. Handling is frankly ancient and it just feels old. Yes it sounds great and looks nice but it's not a shining example of BMW handling or refinement. It's a quick nice looking cruiser.. and that was its design brief.
A design brief that's over 10 years old.

It might will have been designed for the North American market but it did not sell very well here. I don't know of any Zed M owners that moved on to the E-89 but I'm sure there were some that did. As a recognized leader in the local Z community my local BMW dealer had always been happy to share sales info with me on their sales of the E85/86. Shortly after the sales of the E-89 began they pulled back from sharing that info. Our local Chapter of ZSCCA has over 50 members with about an equal split of Z3's and Z4's. We have only one member with an E-89! At one point I test drove a couple of E-89's but decided I like my M better and still do.Ducklakeview said:
