The wheelbase is key as pushing wheels further out not only improves handling but also gives the car a more purposeful look. I also own a Z1 and a Dinan S2 Z8 and loved the concept car in orange that was at Pebble Beach. But the production car lost its way IMO. No doubt it is a better tech car. But so too is any BMW compared to prior gen. Issue is what do you want from the car. I'll take my Z8 over the current Z4 and it has zero tech  |
Never considered the e89, the G29 Z4 checked a lot of boxes for me.
The e89 hardtop is overly complicated and has reliability issues, it is also not near the performance car the G29 is.
Looks are subjective but the G29 imo looks better.
Now if I had a Z8, I’d be rich and can’t argue about taking that over any other Z3/Z4.
