The BMW Z4 coupe looks hideous...nothing like a 944.

Honsetly, the Z4 coupe does look a little better in person..........
..... but I still throw up a little in my mouth when I see it "live."
Bangle can learn a lot from kindergarden art.

btw, what's a good price for a set of 968 mirrors and door handles in a package deal (both handles and mirrors at once)?

Close the door on a Bimmer, and you hear a tinny click. Close the doors on a Benz, and you hear a solid THUNK.
BMW is known for being a sport-luxo car, while Mercedes is know for a solid-luxo car.

The only good thing I can say about some of the Bangle-ized" BMW's is that they look different and are very identifiable.
However, to stand the test of time, a car must look "better" not "different".

The Z4 looks great in person, at least to my eyes. I especially like the M model...
My wife and I test drove one two weekends ago. Very nice car to drive, very nicely built. Much roomier inside than I expected it to be, really nice-sized trunk too. Anyone who thinks their quality is not up to snuff should drive one....felt like it was carved out of one piece of metal.
Much better deal than a Cayman, too. Sorry but true. Porsche has totally abandoned the $40K sports coupe range, which is really sad. A similiarly equipped Cayman is at least $10k more the Z4 we drove.

I liked the Z3 M Coupe more than this one, but do like this one too. Short wheelbase plus hp equals fun. Most rigid BMW (z3, z4 coupes).
