Alex loves a BMW thats for sure! The E85/6 are definitely a bit of a forgotten gem, I think too many people point and go pah its a BMW but lightweight compared to contemporaries, straight six 3 litre...lovely

Well we all knew Z4s were great!
But it's good to see them get some "independent" recognition. Coincidentally I test drove a GT86 a couple of months before I bought my first Coupe - it just didn't feel that special. The GR86 may be much better, but is probably what the Toyota should have been in the first place.

Having owned a Z4C - I absolutely agree with Alex and for anyone not aware - Henry Catchpole - when he was at Evo - he rated it 5 stars - and you know 5 stars from Evo magazine means something.

Personally, I think most of the bad press is BMW’s own doing. I worked for BMW in the E85/E86 era. In my humble opinion there was way too many variants. They should never have put a 2.0 in it or the none sport seats or some of the shite wheels. Unfortunately all of that polluted the opinion of many.
If BMW had only made sport 2.5-3 ltr and then the M the car would have been more respected and as a result held their value more.
I remember getting beaten in a straight line by a 120d in a 2.0 Z4 when I was a BMW. To an uneducated car person that’s what they would base the opinion of the car on.

It was the Catchpole review that convinced me to put my order in back in 2007!!!shuey wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 12:33 am Having owned a Z4C - I absolutely agree with Alex and for anyone not aware - Henry Catchpole - when he was at Evo - he rated it 5 stars - and you know 5 stars from Evo magazine means something.
