We Say... |
| A far cry from the hairdresser days of the Z3, the flamed and concaved Z4 is controversially stylish. It handles pretty solidly too, if you can forgive its harsh ride. 2.5-liter engine lacks punch, but at least the 3.0-liter is now available. Both are mated to new 6-speed ATs. Closes the gap between Merc SLK and Porsche Boxster, but still can't match them. | |
