Word has been leaking out today about the price of the Z4 M40i
https://www.autoblog.com/2018/12/11/...mw-z4-pricing/
and while I can see it costing a bit more than say a M240i (a better looking car, in my biased humble opinion) I can't see paying $5K more for it than a M2 Comp.
Wasn't that one of the selling points of the old Z4 and before that the Z3, a (relatively, for BMW) not TOO expensive fun roadster? If you are gonna put it in Boxster price range, it better be a better handling car. And from all reports, while it's good, it isn't AS good as a Boxster.
