He has reviewed a 2020 M40i before, 2023 review up. You won’t learn anything new but it’s nice to see the Z4 get praise.

Question for you....many reviewers when considering the 30i comment about the lower weight making up for less power in driving dynamics. What do you think? Can you even tell the difference in weight? Does the 30i handle better than the 'overweight' m40? I think i know the answer but just curious what your take is.... Thanks

Savagegeese review (1st one) was very complimentary toward the new at the time Z4 30i. The 2nd review done recently was a rehash of the car while picking apart BMW for not doing enough with the platform.
They never reviewed the 40i which was a huge letdown, the extra hp would change some of their opinions. |

Is there any truth to the rumor that since you took possession of the M40i you have filed papers to legally change your middle name to oomph?

But it was just a weight impression I suppose. Anyway, don't forget that in Europe the M40i is "only" 340HP whereas in the US it's 385HP if I'm not wrong. Something that can also come into balance in the appreciation. So it's sure about the ooomph, but I don't know about riding in twisties Ps: I'd rather have the ooomph in a straight line, Im not a race car driver |

Hahaha.. would be hilarious to get a personalized plate with that if I didn't already have other, more important, plans.

Thought this was an interesting read that breaks down it's weight distribution and compares it to the likes of the M3.

I purchased a CPO 40i as I do enjoy the exhaust note and mid range power on these very flat and straight coastal Carolina roads, also used I found more optioned the way I wanted. |

Also just a note.
C&D recently did an updated review of the M40i and clocked the fastest time yet of any publication (US version) 0-60 3.5s 1/4 mile 12.0 @ 116mph 75mph mpg’s 37 The Z4 M40i is a seriously quick sports car if you want that, I doubt the general public would have any idea they can scoot that quickly. |

I wanted it for more superficial reasons. The sound of the exhaust. The peace of mind that I have knowing I have the highest trim. Not having to explain to other car enthusiasts that I "just have the 4 cylinder."

They left the higher performance model out while saying the Z4 hasn’t progressed. Perhaps driving the M40i they would see there is more potential in the G29.

I would have loved to owned a 6 cyl. The sound is different and I’m sure the motor is also more pleasant at low revs. |
