The latest Top Gear review of the latest BMW Z4 compared with the Nissan 370z. Jeremy did not like the old Z4, but has a different opinion of the new one, stating that the old Z4 was for wife swapping where the keys were not in the ignition much. In fact he has the strength to say this car was nice and is softer than the old one and would want one more than the dinosaurs of Top gear cars, this is a must be a result if ever there was one. There is no doubt it looks good and that folding roof just makes it look good with the roof or down.
Jeremy had bought a Mercedes SLK before, he now says he would have bought the new BMW Z4, praise indeed.
