Jeremy Clarkson reviews sDrive35i ... prefers over Boxster and SLK
Clarkson's review of Z4: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/dri...fset=24&page=3
Here's his review... as always, take what he says with a grain of salt as he makes his living on his reputation for overexaggeration and melodrama (albeit very entertainingly so). Quote:

4 out of 5 isn't bad for JC !
He used to have an SLK 55 AMG, so glad to hear that he prefers it to the Boxster and SLK.

He also raved over the 135i. He must be getting smarter.

Probably because he crashed a 997 GT3 on supercar showdown.

Not much of a review really, he barely mentions the Z4 at all.
However anyone who's ever driven on a track will be able to tell you that even in a road car you'll go a lot faster and push a lot harder than you would driving 'fast' on the road. So for real world driving the Z4 is great, for track days get a lotus or a porsche. |

"I think what he's saying is compared to single-seater racing cars the BMWs are not the ultimate driving machines."
That is exactly what he's saying. |

5th Gear loved the old Z4, so saying they only almost prefer the old one is a compliment |
