Top Gear Reviewed the Z4 this week.
Pretty high marks from Clarkson tonight's show, in which said he would be happy to own a z4 if it is the car he owns for rest of his life. However, the car did lose to the 370Z GT on the track. I will post a youtube version whenever someone uploads it.

New Nissan 370Z: 1:27.5
New BMW Z4 (E89): 1:28.2 Old BMW Z4M roadster: 1:26.0 (damp track) Not quite a fair comparison, that was the 370 Coupe ... I wonder how much the 370Z Roadster would do it in? And it looked like the E89 handled really nicely which Clarkson remarked upon (albeit an apparent tendency to oversteer when pushed hard by the Stig, lol) So only just over a couple of seconds for the M division to shave off when they get round to it Last edited by Merefield; 07-27-2009 at 05:29 AM.. |

He does indeed! Wasn't sure how serious he was with the last few words of his review though.
Can also be watched on the BBC iPlayer: http://bbc.co.uk/i/ly0x6

i wouldn't mind owning any of those 2 cars any day any time. 2 iconic vehicles of our time; especially z370. Don't get me wrong, the z4 is a fabulous roadster, but the z370 is one capable machine.

I think a Z4 M would be a more useful car to produce than either the X5 M or X6 M. I really don't understand what they are about.

370Z, not Z370.

Just watched Clarkson's review again. It really does show the car off at some terrific angles.

The most fair comparison would be the 370Z Roadster. I bet it adds weight and subtracts rigidity, making an equal track comparison, and raises the price too, closer to the Z4. I'll keep the Z4 over the 370Z.
