I must say I grow weary of the trashing of the Z4 is. The car is a blast in the real world where 99.9% of the time it will be driven! And I love the DCT which I never thought I would say. Road and Track got 0-60 in 4.4sec with a 1/4 Mi in 12.6 and 0.91g on the skid pad all with the awful run flat tires! Well I ditched those and run wider Continental DWs. I'm sorry it will never be a Boxster, but the Porsche advantage is only at the track as I see it. I have owned the last 3 generations of M3 ( did the E92 M3 school at the Ring) and this car is more fun in the driving I do because of the low end torque. Driving fast does have a learning curve because of the quirky steering. I wish BMW had made (or will make?) a full on M version and give us LSD, better suspension and better brakes.
