1. When the Z came out in 08. People thought it was an exotic.
2. You stressed FAST. I'm talking about the soul of a vehicle. FEEDBACK
3. We're not making a case against BMW, so no need to get defensive over opinions.
4. Congratulations to you and your wife on the M4.

its text so i can see why people think someone may be defensive. that being said, Im not being defensive just stating my opinion after having some aggressive miles with her. it handles, its quick, its Fast and it has fit and finish out the waazooo.. Its a fantastic drivers car. and I know what you mean about the steering, as a former owner of a E46 I know what connected steering is, but the M4 is not horrible in any since of the word in my opinion.


I even stated I prefer my Z in its current state so I dunno how you took i was being defensive, just because i referenced dull? Maybe i should have used more smilies Ill move a long. Have a good evening and happy motoring

Actually these are great comments as right now I am struggling to decide what to do with my Z in the near future. When I characterize the M4 as being dull I am saying that in relation to the feel of the Z, which to me feels like you are riding in a hovercraft after driving a sedan (sports coupe, M4 included).

Granted it was a test drive and I would probably get to love the M4 when the sales dude isn't sitting there right next to me.

The options I am looking at are:
1 - Keep the Z and get it tuned
2 - Keep the Z (and boost it) and get a supercharged 4Runner
3 - Keep the Z (and boost it) and get a BMW 335i/435i XDrive (and get it tuned)
4 - Sell the Z and get a BMW M4
5 - Sell the Z and get a Lexus RC F
6 - Sell the Z and get a Corvette Stringray
7 - Sell the Z and get a Camaro ZL1
8 - Sell the Z and get a Subaru WRX STI

Granted, I'm in a similar situation.

1. Keep the Z and go F.I.
2. Go for broke & SELL the Z and get a 2012 GT-R & go switzer.
3. Wait and see what the Z35 will bring & tune that and get a new Benz C300..
4. Go for broke and get a Porsche GT-3.
(Risky but considering)
5. Sell the Z and get a corvette Z-07. But GM is making me nervous AGAIN.

The M4 is about the top end of what I want to spend, so that would eliminate a couple of your recommendations sad to say. At GT-3 does sound fun...

Is your M4 auto or manual? Are you happy with the option you chose? Full or extended leather (or cloth)?
