Lads,
Just read the article in Autocar about the Z4 Coupe. Seems to be 90% of the feeling of the Z4 M coupe but at £10K less. Makes it the more sensible buy me thinks. ANy opinions. The rear looks a little weedy without the M spec quad exhaust system though.

unless you knew if they were side by side you could'nt tell the difference, the 3.0si is only 0.5 secs slower to 60 too!

3.0 is also 100kg lighter, which is a lot. Mainly due to much newer design engine I guess (magnesium / alloy block as opposed to iron in the S54 !)

But wouldn't you always feel shortchanged if you didn't go for the ///M (and fit some 19" CSL Type wheels?

On the Coupe these would look the dogs........

I was in Sytners in Nottingham today looking for a Coupe, still not seen one in the flesh. Instead I found an F40 sat idling, when he set off the sound was outstanding. Probably a good job they didn't have any Coupes too.
