I vote they should have done a 1-series coupe chassis version to get them through the gap. It would have built brand enthusiasm for the poser 2-series "MSport" coupe model they're bringing out. (I say poser because I assume the turbo motor will overheat the oil, coolant, or something else and convert to limp mode if you actually try to drive a whole 20-min. track session in it. If they put in a good enough intercooler to beat heat soak, I'll take back the poser comment.)
Okay, rant mode off. Sorry. In the GT3 series it looked good.

How many Z4s have you driven, let alone on the track?
