No contest whatsoever. Supra, and I'll pay you to take the G29 away from me having to look at it

Supra all day in that sweet sweet yellow they've got going on
The US Z4 version has 375 ponies due to more lax emissions standards... the EU variant has 340... I suspect Toyota have ‘accidentally’ just released their US version in the EU
So.... which one... asking a Coupe owner who’s just seen it mulch a vert... ha ha ha ha Toy Yoda here

Ignoring your obvious brand loyalty how is it a tough decision :?
One stirs me with emotion & desire :evil: the other makes me biliousguess that makes it a easier decision :wink:
Basically the same car, although it would feel slightly weird having a Toyota branded BMW :|

+1.... I think the styling of the G29, particularly the rear is a massive backward step from the E89
Strangely I always thought the E89s rear to be a weakness, I much prefer the latest incarnation, having said that the E89s three quarter stance wins hands down.

They're not though are they :? possibly underneath but visually you couldn't have 2 more differing bodyshells
Neither as I do not like the styling.
The Supra is way to fussy and I do not like the front end of the Z4.
The Z4 looks like a cross between a Honda S2000 (which I think look great ) and a Fiat Spyder which is not to my tastes.
I did follow a G29 while on the M25 a few weeks back was in gloss black and must admit it looked good apart from the front which is funny as I love the back end on my E85 but feel the front end is weaker in looks and aggressiveness and it was the opposite with the E89 in my eyes.

:lol: for the top down mince down to Portofino I'd agree. But for an actual sports car, a ruddy great hole in the roof absolutely ruins the drive, either in terms added weight through cross bracing, or a chassis with the torsional rigidity of a blancmange :roll:

Makes it clear how much more power those engines are making over the 'book figure' - which I guess makes it even more of a puzzle as to why the z4 is slower?! Maybe all that cross bracing to prevent the aforementioned blancmange handling?

Ed you’re so right....
I mean, MX5, Boxster, 458 spider, 488 spider to name but 4 are jelly chassis waste of money piles of rubbery crap not fit to grace a road..... :wink:Which would I take home?
The Z4 - because you can see the sky and on the road in the UK you couldn’t notice that difference in performance.
I would say doubtful that many would worry about the handling either - I didn’t notice anything bad.
As the price to change from my 9k/Sep16/35is was massive then the change to an M40i specced the same would have just been plane stupid.
