A very elegant car, but more for the upscale, non-enthusiast crowd. In other words, I wouldn't expect to see too many of these at the track. I wish BMW would quit it with the power-retracting hardtop and go back to ragtops. Very sexy nonetheless! Would love to have one at my cape house that I also don't have

You can now buy a slightly used Z4M coupe for about the same price as a new FRS.

I really liked mine. I wish I kept it.

I traded it for a NC Miata.<<<<<-------crappiest car I have ever owned.

Z4 is a very beautiful car... It's shame that it is only a 2 seater.

That's a gorgeous car, Silversprint... you can get them for about the price of a new BRZ, but man, they're tough to find, at least locally. Beautiful car, great interior, and that amazing, amazing engine...

Penis extension. The six-pot fits in an Einser without looking so schwantzy, so that's no excuse.

Wonder why it needs to be so stupidly heavy?

Oh, excuse me, a total bargain! I'll have two!

Looks good in yellow. That new 2.0L is a nice engine; I hope Audi steps up their 2.0L to make more horsepower, too.
