I'd keep the G. the Z4's styling doesn't do it for me. G looks classy.

As long as you like the styling, the Z4 3.0 with a manual is an absolutely awesome driving car. There just isn't much to debate on that issue, its a great car.

Alpine White/red leather on the Z4 is cool (they say you can't get it on the website, but you can), a nice set of wheels would help very much.

According to Motor Trend January 2004:


0-60: 5.5 seconds
1/4 : 14.11 @ 97.93

Not bad numbers. Guess it depends on the individual

Tis true, you just cant beat bimmer as a drivers, i just wish they would get back their styling. When the current gen 3 series (last to be changed, like your M) becomes bangledized, well I may just cry.

I didn't like the Z4 on TV, in the magazine ads, etc. In person however, I kinda liked it. Nice numbers, very nice driving car.

The Zed-4 is AWESOME!!! I drove one at the local Bimmer dealer and left a stain on the seat. :o

However... I don't know if I'd trade my G for one. I need a trunk, and a beatseat is nice to have.

But that thing is pure sex is you ask me.

the car is hot, i went for a ride in a blue one when they first came out. The 3.0 is quick as balls. It felt on par with a 350z that i have been in. The only question is, is there room in your life for this type of car. At least the g has "rear seats."

I really like the Z4 but like the G more. Haven't driven either but seems like they are comparable in acceleration and such but sounds like the z4 handles better.

I say keep the G.

i am only 22 years old. *DONT SAY I AM Spoiled! i am paying for my own shit* . i dont really need that much space. i really like the feeling of driving convertibles. either S2000, Z4 , or 350Z roaster. these 3 r within my price range. 350Z convertible is just ugly to me, S2000 is getting old, and with about the same price and performance i would rather get a bimmer.

besides i got my scion to carry shit even tho it might not move if the shitz r too heavy due to the lack of HP, but it's ok =)

Not to get into this played out discussion, but not paying for your own shit doesn't make you spoiled. When you don't pay for your own shit and don't appreciate it, that makes a person spoiled.

The worlds richest people inherited their money, that doesn't automatically make them all spoiled....its all in the attitude.

People that blindly call someone spoiled or a brat for getting a car, money, whatever for free are simply jealous.


You have a Scion, so go get the most useless possible fun car you can find/afford.

One of my friends has one, she bitches about how much her ass hurts after driving it on the freeway all the time.

But it's a stable, rock solid BMW.

Good luck man, enjoy yourself.

I like the Z4 over the G35...still love the g, but the roadster appeal is cool and the interior is sweet too. Not a fan of the G interior. Both are rock solid. To me having a tiny backseat in a coupe is as impractical as a 2 seat roadster...so why the hell not.
