哈哈,我以為SUPRA應該是JUVENILE的液體,但我意思是,讓我們開啟手動模式
這是什麼?
嘿,團隊,我拿到鑰匙了
這臺23,BMW Z4 M40i
我們要開一輛,但首先,我們來看看裡面和外觀
這臺M40i的唯一不可思議的改變是,它有一個標準的M4套裝,以及一些新的塗料顏色,不包括這個紫色的San Francisco
什麼是紫色的San Francisco?我不確定
前面,我們看到了肌肉烤焙的另一個解釋,這個塗料很粗糙和寬敞,M40i的黑色塗料
選擇了50年代的M標誌,不可思議,因為這不是一個完整的M車
下面,我們看到了在前面的空調廈周圍的功能塑膠
旁邊有更多的功能風扇和煞車
此外,以優惠套裝為主要配備,我們看到了LED燈光和LED轉動訊號
轉到旁邊,我們看到了一套新增的19吋輪胎
兩色塗料,包含了Continental Sport Contact 6夏天輪胎,255在前面和275在後面
這些輪胎內還有新增的M Sport煞車,配上藍色塗料
我們看到了後面的輪框有功能風扇
還有一套優惠套裝的黑色鏡頭,配上了月亮黑色的塗料
再往下看,我們看到了一套比較傳統的套裝
這套套裝的邊框是從低到高的,我們來看看上方的狀況
這樣更好,你買這臺車,住在南加州
你的車頂要降到95%
在後面,我們看到了一些小型的LED燈光和轉動訊號
這套新增的優惠套裝,配上了一套M40i喇叭
然後我們看到了一套藍色塗料,配上了兩套塗料
我喜歡Z4的後端和外觀
但是前方,會不會太友善?
這就是我不喜歡的地方
我對你的問題是,哪一代的Z3或Z4看起來最好?
請在下方留言,我們來看看車廂
打開後,我們看到了黑色的Vernasca皮革和Alcantara的車廂
這就是新增的優點,配上了藍色的塗料,前方的座椅是標準的
你會看到M40i的踏板,鋁合金的踏板
在門口,還有藍色的塗料,配上了藍色的塗料
塗料插槽,插槽插槽,插槽插槽
在踏板的旁邊,有一個托子,很容易拉下來
再看門口,我們看到了兩張座椅的記憶體
一張觸控窗戶,一張電源調節和電源託門鏡
這款車有了新增的哈爾蒙卡頓聲音系統
看到一些光線在這裡,儲存袋在這裡
這款M40i的M Sport座椅,有多種電源調節
有調節側扣和肩膀墊
拉下來,很輕鬆,門打開的聲音
很堅固,聽起來像是從窗戶裡的聲音
這款M Sport的方向盤,很厚,皮革塗料,手感很好
它有加熱功能,M標誌在這裡
後座的座椅,尺寸很不錯,旅行感很不錯
但是它們是塑膠製的
方向盤的方向盤是自動調節的,我比較喜歡
比電源調節更快
Digital gauge cluster is reconfigurable with the BC button
There is a head up display
Stitched leather up on the dashboard
Here is a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
The last generation of iDrive, still responsive
And has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Beneath the screen is a dual-zone climate setup with physical buttons
Below that are more physical buttons for immediate stuff
Neural finish volume knob
Some gloss black here with the Z4 logo
You slide that forward to find a wireless charging pad
That's an option
USB-A port, DC outlet
More gloss black here and all around here
It smudges, it scratches, it collects stuff, I don't like it
BMW, I would rather have fake carbon fiber than this stuff
Just let it be known
Dial to control your infotainment system
If you don't want to touch the screen, I like that redundancy
Buttons here for your drive modes
Under the stitched leather console cover
We find cup holders, that's where they are
With a little bit of storage in USB-C port
There is more storage in this netted pocket back here
And you know what, let's fire it up
And raise the roof
It is almost as fast as it went down
Windows coming
OK, let's look at visibility
Good, good, good
It's a pretty big blind spot there
And you don't get standard blind spot monitoring
Though it's available
View at the back is good
My headroom at 6 feet tall
Is excellent
Got plenty of clearance there
That's a thumbs up from me
And the cabin overall
Yes, it's not as tech heavy and flashy as the new BMW models
But I kind of prefer this
Everything is very intuitive
The fit and finish is solid
I'm into this cabin
Let's take the Z4 M40i for a drive now
All right, let's fire it up
Excited little burbles on startup
And hello crew from the cabin camera
You know the first thing we have to do in this convertible
Is to lower the top
So let's do that
Press down here
And lift the lid
Quick operation there
Our drive mode selected here will begin in comfort
As we usually do
And then click in on the side and press forward to go into reverse
That brings up a high resolution backup camera
And we do a backup assist feature
That I can activate here
Which will back us up
Along the same path
We used to get in
Very handy
And then in and down to drive
And away
Look at all those beautiful Aston Martin
And away we go
You know we're gonna kick things off
With the world famous horn test
Let's do that
Yikes
Very sharp
Sharp notes there
And the turn signal sound
BMW attacks
Power train
In the Z4 M40i
We don't have the 2 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder
That you get in the S drive 30
We have the B58 turbocharged inline 6 cylinder
That is shared with a few other BMW models
Including the M340i
It makes 382 horsepower and 369 pound feet of torque
Routed through a ZF 8 speed automatic gearbox exclusively
And sending power to just the rear tires
There is no all wheel drive version of the Z4
Now I feel it prudent to address the elephants in the room
Which is that the Z4 is not an only child
It shares its platform and powertrain
With the Toyota Supra
Unfortunately for the Z4
It is only left with the 8 speed ZF automatic
You cannot get it with the manual transmission
That BMW gave to Toyota
And then they fine tuned and made it their own
And that's unfortunate to me
Because while this ZF 8 speed is a fantastic gearbox
It's velvety smooth getting around town
And then when you're getting on it with performance
It responds super well
I wish you had the choice
To have the 6 speed manual from that Supra
Because if you for whatever reason
Don't like how the Supra looks
You didn't want a coupe
You wanted a convertible
But you still want the engagement factor
You can't have it with the manual
And that's just such a let down
Because that's such a great gearbox
And I know it would pair well
It has paired well with the super platform and engines
Which are what we have here in the Z4
Thankfully as I said
It is a good transmission
And in comfort drive mode
The throttle response is very progressive
But there's ample power to get you up to speed
These seats stood out to me right away
As being incredibly comfortable
They just hug my body perfectly
You can adjust those side bolsters
Find an excellent driving position for yourself
And cruise with the wind
Rustling in your baseball cap
Let's test out the turning radius
Solid
And that V58
Which had been so quiet up until now
Makes itself known
With a little bit of extra throttle
Back to that wind noise momentarily
It is rustling the hair
And it's creating some turbulent wind noise
Around the top of my head
That air curtain back here
Is helping quell some of it
And more than anything
I'm just enjoying the roadster elements
Especially with this ocean view scenery
The ride quality
Is taut like a sports car should be
But it's well dampened
So harsh bumps
Aren't felt all that much through the seats
And you stay relaxed
Certainly checking the box as a roadster
How is it going to check the box
As a performance machine
Let's find out
With a real world 0-60 test next
For that I've got my race box set up here
And I'm going to need to make some adjustments
To our drive settings
Into sport plus we go
I'll hit the traction button once
To put us in sport traction
And then I move the gear selector
Over to manual slash sport
That will enable launch control
From here I hold my foot hard on the brake
Pin the throttle
Build up the revs
And let go of the brake
Here we go
Flip it
It did a full pause
Because we had no traction
And that's why 0-60 is 5 seconds
Let's try that again
Still so much tire spin
There's 60 in 4.8 seconds
Yes this is properly a rear wheel drive car
That needs to get the tires
Very much heated up to see 0-60
Below 4 seconds
And that's what independent tests have seen
But this is real world
So real world your tires may not be super hot
You may get 4.8 seconds to 60
But you're also going to get
Some laugh out loud noises
From this inline 6 cylinder
What in the world
Heard all the better with the top down
Listen to that over run
So angry
And the mid range thrust
Is madness
Oh my gosh
Equally impressive is how easy it is
To regulate the brake pedal
Just smoothly come down from real speed
I thought the Supra
Was supposed to be the juvenile of the liquid
But I mean let's do manual mode
What is that
The shifts are quick
And the drama
From this exhaust
Is magnificent
I did not expect this from the Z4
I thought this was supposed to be the mature
Grown up choice
But that doesn't sound grown up at all
That sounds big kid approved
Now the Z4 M40i
Has yet to strut its stuff through a curb
But thankfully I know of one
So we're going to use this up here
For a braking and handling test
We're going to carry some speed
RS e-tron
Hailing me here but
Hard on those brakes
Good response
Enters neutrally
Back end rotates
With lift off
Steering is quick and precise
And the limited slip differential
Divvied up the power
And slingshotted us out
At the end there
Let's go for round two here
All right
So it's playful
It's way more playful
Than I thought it would be
It behaves with neutrality
It communicates with the body
There's just that little bit of roll
Little bit of lean
That you would expect of a roadster
It doesn't have the same structural integrity
As a coupe
But it communicates
Magnificently
Here with the transmission
Left in auto mode
It held the gear
Exactly how I wanted it to
Powered out of corners perfectly
Took the curves
With communication
Through the steering
To a certain degree
This isn't like
Overflowing with feedback
But the weighting is just right
So I know how much resistance
Is telling me
Where the car is going to give up the grip
And it being rear wheel drive
That's very very important
Oh my gosh
So so much fun
All right
It's kind of loud here on the highway
With the top off
So let's pull off
Raise that lid back up
And then hop into the
Miles per hour word of the day
But before we do the
Miles per hour word of the day
Now that the top is up
We should listen to the NVH level
At highway speeds
And I need to quiet this up even more
But the engine
Isn't the thing we're hearing the most
So we're in Eco Pro now
And just coasting
All right
So there's some wind noise here
As you'd expect with a fabric roof
But not bad at all
And the tire noise is mellow
And I keep reminding myself
When the top is up
How much more spacious this cabin feels
Than the very claustrophobic Supra
I'm really very bullish
On how good this Z4 is
As a short road tripper
Or even as a commuter
You don't feel like you're having to
Wear this car
Like you do the Supra
You can kind of just move around
And feel relaxed in these comfy seats
The only thing that isn't great
About being in here with the top up
Is that blind spot once again
So you're really having to rely
On those cameras
Because you can't see things
Around your left or right shoulder
With the naked eye
All right
Word of the day
For this 23 Z4 M40i
Is deceptive
Because you look at this vehicle
And I size up a lot of Z4
Not just based on the driver
But since I look at it and go
All right that's not really
Going to be that impressive
But from behind the wheel
This is very much a different animal
So deceptive means
To give a false impression
Or to be misleading
And that's precisely
What this vehicle can do
Especially this M40i guy
Because it is a proper performance car
It is a proper sports car
That just gives off this
Somewhat feeble or
Unassuming impression
So that people might be convinced
They can go and bully it around on the road
And then it shows what it can do
And just embarrasses them
All right before we talk
Pricing and competition
Let's go over the top speed
And fuel economy
Top speed for the M50i
Is 165 miles per hour
While fuel economy is 23 mpg
In the city
31 on the highway
And 26 combined
The starting price of the S-Drive 30i
Is around $54,000
If you want the M40i
That is a $66,000 proposition
And this vehicle as tested
Is just a bit under 74 grand
Convertible competitors
Include the Porsche Boxster S
That starts at $79,000
Makes 350 horsepower
From a turbo 4-cylinder
Gets to 60 in 3.8 seconds
Has a top speed of 177 miles per hour
And fuel economy of 22 combined
There is the Jaguar F-Type P450 convertible
That starts at $76,000
Makes 444 horsepower
From a V8
Gets to 60 in 4.2 seconds
Also has a top speed of 177 miles per hour
And fuel economy of just 19 combined
Now before I reach a verdict
I just have to say
That I'm not really a convertible guy
So if you offer me a super with a manual
Or this Z4 M40i with the automatic
I'm gonna say super manual
But if forced to make a decision
Based on the competitor
I'll just say that the Porsche Boxster
Is gonna be the most purest sports car
It's going to be the best track weapon
You can get it with a manual gearbox
The gearbox is the most engaging
Whereas the F-Type is the most beautiful
And it makes the best noises
With the supercharged V8
Now you're expecting me to go
But you should choose the Z4
Well, here's the thing
My takeaway on this car
Is it's so much better
Than you would expect it to be
Personally, what I would expect it to be
Looking at
It's fun to drive
It makes good noises
It is quiet with the top up
It does the roadster things well
It's comfortable, right
But if you want better dynamics
You're gonna go with the Boxster
If you want more of what
In my interpretation
A roadster is supposed to do
Which is to look beautiful
Be fun to drive
But to make great noises
I'm gonna choose the Jaguar F-Type
And really if you want
Even better driving dynamics
Than even the Boxster
You're just gonna go get a Cayman
And that's probably what I would do
Which would you guys choose though
Let me know in the comments
Would you go Boxster S
Would you go Z4 M40i
Would you get the F-Type P450 Roadster
Or would you even go
Just get a coupe
Would you get the super manual
Let me know
And I hope you've enjoyed
