Regardless of this review I still think the Z4 best looking BMW in a while. We struggle hard between this and the 135i cab. The cab had a bit more space and flexibility so it own out.

It looks like a fairly usual case of a review that is trying to sell the car, disregarding the fact that anyone interested in a car of this class would expect hard data, not fluff. But a review is just a review - the car is a real beauty.

There is another test of the 35is in Auto Motor und Sport this week.
Comparative test of Roadsters with more than 300 bhp: Audi TTRS vs BMW Z4 sDrive35is vs Nissan 370Z vs Porsche Boxster S. Last edited by G_Stark; 03-31-2010 at 01:26 AM.. |

I found one in that online magazine dated March 21, 2010 but it was for the 35i, and didn't include the 370z.
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/v...e-1326491.html Here's a Babel Fish translation from German to English - you have to sort through it to get the idea. http://translate.google.com/translat...ml&sl=de&tl=en Do you have a link for the web page? |

It's not online I'm afraid.
I've not analyzed it thoroughly but: Rankings: 1. tt-rs 2. Z4 3. porsche 4. nissan For the Z4 they do complain a lot about the car body rolling way too much in curves and the unprecise steering. I do not know what their standards are, I found the handling of the 35i was quite correct before ordering the 35is. Now that I read that I'm a bit disappointed I must say. |

Compared to my E92 335i (manual) I can already say that the torque certainly makes a difference ! Still getting used to the DCT though ... I also bought the magazine and the performance numbers are pretty impressive !

One could really fix it but that would no doubt hinder ride quality, and that's the compromise with using analog approaches - handling vs ride quality. It's a shame BMW didn't include Active Roll Stabilization, but no doubt that would have added to the weight, and I think they're working on a more minimalist approach for the roadster. |

if you have the 35i with the sport package and DCT is identical to the 35is except for the slight diff in hp and tq.

Not completely ... the 35is has different front- and rear bumpers (compared to the M pack), and (re)tuned exhaust sound, and other software adjustments (along with a higher turbo pressure 0,8 bar iso 0,6 bar)
