I felt like I was ‘dropping’ into the ND, (similar to my old C5 Z06….RIP), whereas the Z4 was an easier ‘lowered seat’ position. Similar for getting out, I felt as if I was at ground level on my backside & almost needed to start out on my knees to stand, not as drastic in the Z4.
Just the perspective I had, but may have been influenced by the timing, (as we literally went from the Mazda dealer straight to the BMW dealer). The ND also had much more of a crowded (in a good way) cockpit feel to it, while the Z4 felt less claustrophobic but still with everything in an easy reach. I felt ‘safer’ with the modest increased size of the Z too, living in the land of rolling-coal pickemup trucks, lol.
