I just went on a 30 minute testdrive driving a BMW Z4 2.5i... I really didn't like it that much. The 2.5i model was really slow, more than 7.0 seconds to get to sixty on a 180+ hp engine. My 160hp RSX gets to 60 in 6.7. Not too impressive.

The interior was very cheap, too. More poorly made than my RSX I can tell you that. The plastic lining around the shifter squeaked and creaked when I pressed on it. My car is more solid than that. Visibility with the top up was pretty much nill, there's no 3/4 driver side vision at all.

Basically... I didn't like it. I found the Crossfire that I test drove to be better in nearly every way. Except for the killer exhaust note on the Z4. That was addictive.

Saying that, I just went on a day trip to Orlando and saw more Crossfires on the road than new model Civics, so they seem to have been discovered by the general populace, which means they appeal less to me.
