Negative Review of the Z4C!!!

Wow, I finally found a review that's really negative on the Coupés. You Roadie owners can have a field day on this one, but I think the journalist just couldn't handle the beast. What a Pansy.

Enjoy

PS. Alfa Brera? Yeah... that just exposes how bad this journalist is.

Yes, Rick, it is fodder for the Roadster owners to use against the Coupe owners, but you all hear the same thing everyday, so why bother.
The author is definitely a pansy, doesn't like the car on the edge of losing traction when he gets on the gas. In the next sentence or so, admits that he is afraid to turn off DSC
My opinion is that the guy should go back to reviewing low horsepower, point a-to-b commuter vehicles that are made strictly with gas-mileage in mind.

I read the review you posted sometime last year. Shook my head at it. The journalist said that the car's horrible to look at, but the bloke's definitely no looker either. They must have had some vendetta against BMW to be writing such naff reviews.

BTW, how's Sabine coming along, AlterEgo? Almost there yet? We're all waiting anxiously with you! Hope your baby comes soon.

This dork's review is all about his own personal psychology, and not about the car. Basically, his main points are that he likes to be in a convertible better, and he doesn't like either the security of DSC or the risk of turning it off.

Another one that's all about his own ego rather than the car. I mean, two thirds of the thing is about finding clever ways to say he doesn't like the way it looks. Then he goes on to say he like to buy a month's worth of groceries, he blames the car for having fingerprints on the dash, and prices the car to incude a second "sensible" car? What a boob.

Well, I gave up listening to the dead-beat full-of-themselves opinionated morons when I was 4. So in this case I went with my own (shock horror) desires.

Sabine rocks! (both of them)

I think Sabine might be the first Coupe in Montego Blue?

Oops, sorry, still OT.

Ignore that.

Ummm... I didn't wanna tell you about that "other" Montego Blue Coupé that had you beat: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67260

No worries about the OT thing. I think this thread's dead now. That, and I think I derailed my own thread in post#5 so I'm partly to blame.

So - I guess you aren't going to get much sleep!

The problem with the Z4 is the lack of head airbags though
