Recently, my husband has had the opportunity to test drive many famous cars of people he knows. I really envy him... the other day, to my surprise...BMW Z4 M40iHe was given a ride on the "Mere Old Man" and wrote an article about his impressions of it. Please take a look if you would like to read it.
I recently had the opportunity to experience the BMW Z4 M40i and would like to report on my impressions.
I've blogged a bit about this before.I love the manufacturer BMW.My former car, aThe E36 318is showed us that a car can be fun even without power.I remember being impressed by its strong body and very controllable suspension.
Around the same time, I used to drive a friend's Z3, and also, until recently, my wife's car was an F30 320i.

Overall length x width x height = 4335 x 1865 x 1305 mm, but at first glance, the slightly voluminous design gives the impression of being a bit larger than the numbers suggest.

There is almost no roughness or knack to the road surface that is common in sports cars.The impression is that fairly thick rubber bushings are installed, and few people will complain about the ride quality at first.
By the way, I drove a 981 Boxster GTS that day.Boxster GTS is also quite a comfortable rideIt is.However, its direction is different.By way of analogy, the same lightweight, high-performance sneakers...BMW Z4 40i seems to have a thicker bottom than the Boxster.and feel milder.
First of all, when driving the winding road in comfort mode, it allows a fair amount of roll. HoweverNaturally, it is not a roll that makes you uneasy, but a moderate roll to turn with the load on the outside front wheel, typical of BMWIt seems to me that the
As we rounded a few curves, it was easy anyway, and showed no signs of sweaty running.Impression of clearing each corner neatly and without graduationIt is.

But having said that.Gentle movement at the pace of winding general roads.The setting was not intended to give a crunchy, direct feel, but rather a smooth and comfortable cornering feel.
