I can't do that, but I can tell you Clarkson ends up by recommending the BMW because it's, "Slower, less exciting, more expensive and less well equiped."

That's a sort of compliment.

...and the rear wheels are just the same as the US wheels - you saw a trick produced by telephoto lenses.

I didn't realize that the Z- GT in Europe doesn't have the larger size tires in the rear. At least it dosn't appear so on this video.

Is this correct???

I found a link. They caved in and gave the BMW a rimjob like all the other reviewers. At least he acknowledged that they are driven by chotch-balls and wife-swappers.

That and my father-in-law never lets me forget that the BMW logo symbolizes the sky and clouds through a Luftwaffe airplane propeller. Thank God Nissan started producing some sweet sportscars, cus he won't let me buy a German car again. (His parents were Holocaust survivors).

Go 370Z!

Actually BMW themselves have said that their emblem is not the propeller/sky thing. Actually it's taken from the flag of Bavaria. http://www.flagfocus.info/worldflags...er-Bavaria.gif

Being a chotch-balled, wife-swapping BMW driver I would know this.

hey32g · 07-26-2009, 06:30 PM

Wow, if they had done an A7 it would have been even faster!

Ha!! I couldn't resist.
