I love that design. Cant even believe that there are people that think its ugly. Your redesign in the back fits perfectly

[@LV98.]

I also like the design, but I hate the front headlight design. If it was more horizontal like other BMW models then I believe it's the most beatiful car they've build

[@daquanbtz8089]

@@LV98.that’s exactly what I think too plus sculpt the front grill better

[@davidt8087]

@@LV98.no. I love this headlight design and have loved it the most. It's a lot more exotic and subdued and confident without looking "try hard" at the same time such as the F80 M4 for example. The M2 comp (not the new one) had the best headlight design that looked more like the headlight design of the 3/5 series for example because it looked confident and good without trying hard to look aggressive. But the z4 has the best and most unique headlights. I don't like the rectangular design of the new bmw headlights. Plus this headlight design is found in cars like the viper, the sls, the Mercedes sl, Mercedes amg gt, jaguar f type (from 2016). It's better yall just wont buy it because you want extra seats

[@seasons8532]

I have a z4 and i love it but this review and the review you did before on your channel was different and it makes me happy because when you did the redesign you said how ugly it looked and seeing you liking it now makes me happy because i think the pictures doesn’t show how amazing this looks irl

[@diego432hz]

True beautiful cars look beautiful in both situations I think.

[@ystebadvonschlegel3295]

Sorry but just annoys the F out of me when people snark “why would you ever want to drive in eco pro” - well I own one and I drive in eco pro a lot. Why - it saves a good amount of premium fuel and if I’m just driving to work and chilling why in the world WOULDN’T I want to do do that? Not everyone is on a test drive every day. Oh, and if you want more aggressive shifts you need to change the transmission setting not just sport mode, shifts are delayed and much faster/harder.

[@fredsanjabi6982]

I own and daily a 2020 Sapp Blk/ Ivory Int (similar spec otherwise)…makes driving fun everyday…and seems like nobody else has one. To anyone that picks one up in the future, you’ll love it. 🙌 (iDrive7 is perfect but wireless charger overheats your phone. Wonder if they’ve updated for this ‘23 model..doubt it)

[@jeff36945]

Although this design has its flaws. It is my favorite BMW design on sale today. This car feels like the last connection to the “old BMW” ways.

[@tallie7490]

BMW has always pretty much did good on design, performance and horsepower ability, and that color exterior with that color interior is nice to the eye...

[@mrmoseman3477]

Never seen u reviewing cars but it’s great. Keep it up

[@carltaylor5251]

This ride is awesome and please don't change a thing. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm also loving the color. And rear gives it the right touch. A perfect finisher.

[@NotMyAccount]

You should check out the recent BMW Concept Coupe Touring. It is based on this.

[@ZettoMedia]

And is awesome 👌

[@freddybell8328]

That purple and magma color combo is amazing. Absolutely groovy.

[@bmw3842]

Explain to me and how it operates The Z4, like the Z3 and Z1 before it, only comes in rear-wheel drive. It has Sport and Sport Plus drive modes, along with three settings for traction control, including a sportier one between on and off.

[@whitsundaydreaming]

The seats are the nicest looking aspect of it.

[@Lookbusybuddy]

Wheels have nice detail and proportions. Blade like and 3d depth.

[@Lookbusybuddy]

Wonder if you can take the panels off like the z3 . Potential for a kit car donor.

[@nikosgreekever]

I have question .. What is the different between the new emblem and old one ? And does the z4 have auto start and digital key or the card key?

[@jeffs6090]

I would have a hard time deciding between this color or the dark matte grey.

[@SyhnSeer]

Have a 2024 on order with that exterior. Going nuts waiting for it after test driving their loaner! Felt like the car was a part of me instantly. Think the magma color is beautiful, but didn't work with the thundernight(purple) for me. But that's just a matter of personal preference. Like you, more aggressive looks would be preferred by me but I still love the look as is. The Z4 is replacing my '17 SL450 as my daily.

[@TheGismo94]

How tall are u? Do you think a guy with 190cm (6'3) could fit comfortable in this car?

[@SyhnSeer]

I'm 5'11" and it has plenty of room for me. Word is tall people fit fine in this car.

[@eien86]

I loved so much the modification you made to the back, I'd suggest BMW to recall all sold models and redo them based on your design 😅

[@TheAustrianPainter87]

After market bumpers exist

[@MarkEardley1968]

I think the design works well as it is!👍🏻

[@shaunmcinnis566]

Mine is white on Magma black rims, Ilove the spec.. I agree, those engine hood lines on top make no design sense. I also agree the spoiler is too busy. Rear end is the best feature ,taillights and ducktail. Good call. I also do artwork for a living too. I guess we have similar taste.

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

I like this Z4 M. I would have consider this, however after owning a 325i and X5, I just don't have confidence in BMW anymore. Their cars are unreliable and the costs for maintenance and repairs are unreasonable and unethical for the price you pay for these cars.I think the price of this Z4 M is around $80K. That's a lot of money if I can't trust it to get me to work. I loss so much time off at work getting my 3 Series and X5 serviced. It was stressful and a headache.

[@yesitsme8943]

Does this exhaust have the OPF or not

[@d00d48]

There's no OPF on cars sold in the US.

[@TimeisReel]

It's a shame that car doesn't get more love...

[@fenrirslip]

I personally believe that BMW just needs to commit and make a Z4 M to better compete with the AMG SL 63.

[@roboticskybeast]

That would be awesome

[@avigator]

The 2017 Z4 concept looked much better. Especially the actual Z4 head lights are sending strong Mercedes vibes. 😐

[@omarspost]

SL63 is for driving round a track. Z4 is for driving to the hairdresser. It's competes with the CLK, not the AMG SL 63 which is 3-4x the price. Lol 2 completely different markets.

[@fenrirslip]

@@omarspost Well the CLK is dead.

[@sibasish_sa]

I want to be a car designer i am 19 i got it to a design school but couldn't pay the fees and my mother health condition is also not good can I get freelance work if l work my skills for 10 years

[@BlakeMcCringleberry]

I'm starting to worry that my man here is getting a bit too excited about duck tails.

[@bernie2108]

Ok having redesigned the car, try applying for a stylist job in Bavaria, see how far you get. 🚪

[@filoniz]

Bimmercode out the fake engine sound and it get alot better!

[@bobbygoodman2875]

It would be PERFECT, IF there was an option for a manual transmission. There are a number of driver enthusiasts who want to row the gears.

[@inflatable2]

Not a high enough number unfortunately for BMW to invest in it.. Same reason why to do not make a Z4M anymore, they just do not sell enough.. I fear this might be the last real roadster sportscar BMW is offering for a while.. &^(%& forced EV-transition.. iXM that kind of BS it's where it's at for them right now..

[@bobbygoodman2875]

@@inflatable2 It's sad but true. For the true driving experience, as an enthusiastic I love rowing the gears.

It's coming out 2024

[@inflatable2]

@@davidt8087 Surprisingly good news.. Only bad thing maybe, it looks like it will be for US market only.. I hope not..

[@BradCrystal007]

If BMW puts a manual transmission in this car I will be the first to buy one!

[@parasyadav1000]

Jai ho sab prabhu ji😊

[@danieldebono7116]

Gorgeous car (I own one), but that colour spec looks like vomit. Purple and red. Yuck. Also, I'm wondering why BMW dropped the adaptive drive mode for the 2023 models. Notice the Adaptive drive mode button is now a blank?

[@jaydagreen5216]

Supra?

[@danieldebono7116]

What about it?

[@jaydagreen5216]

@@danieldebono7116 meh its fine, atleast people make the new supra look good by putting body kits on it.

[@alainprevost5374]

Very polarized comments regarding the design. TBH I dont like it at all, it looks way too busy, way too complex, Have you people ever seen bodybuilders filled with illegal subsances? this is what most BMW lineup reminds me of. Very strange proportions. This Z4 looks like Snubbull pokemon (the pink bulldog) I often see E85 Z4s and maaaan the design holds up very nice till this year.

[@beagleman123456789]

I totally disagree with you’

[@diego432hz]

It is only automatic because this car is not for car guys, it is for ego guys.

[@danieldebono7116]

It's auto only actually. No manual box.

[@diego432hz]

@@danieldebono7116 Yeah meant that brother, thank you.

[@omarspost]

The front looks too femanine to ever be an M car. Jokes aside, itd be too expensive if given the full fat M treatment. The Z4 sales figures are very low as it is and its target demographic are extremely unlikely to buy a full fat M version. Its competing with a a CLK

[@Titans4ever2]

Car looks hideous
