2020 BMW Z4 M40i Review First Drive

The all-new BMW Z4 is here and we've got the M40i version in for testing. The 2020 BMW Z4 M40i is the quickest version of the Z4 on offer, until BMW decides to offer a full jam M model.

Love the blue with ivory interior. Cool wheels. Prefer
manuals but hey you can't always get what you want.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a 2007 Z4 M which I love to bits.

Been toying with the idea of getting one of these so I bumped into your video. I'm curious ... why the overlay on the video to cover the speed/rev display as you are driving?

[mikepaul]

great channel. love your reviews. driving and unbiased reviews. unlike other guys that praise the manufactures for extra $$'s

[StevenCollins]

Thanks for the review. Have you driven the M2 Comp? How would you compare the two with regards to driving dynamics and engine power delivery?

[Anthony-ymiz]

I'm taking delivery of one in a few days! Why have you superimposed the display @ 47 seconds?

Great video as always. I was the person who asked you about driving position and hand position on the wheel, a couple weeks ago...and would like to think that I had a small (very small) part in this video!
How did your first round of golf for the year go? Take care.

The 10 to 2 steering wheel method is still mandatory in many countries driving instructions to obtain a licence and is an excellent method for teaching drivers how to first learn to drive, I don’t think you should be discouraging it, most drivers get into very bad habits after a short period of time and are the cause of most accidents better to criticise the nanny state driving electronics in modern cars like the Z4 which drivers rely on and then can’t deal with breakaway oversteer when it occurs. Because cars are so easy to drive today 90% of drivers are just not concentrating and assume the safety systems will take care of everything, fortunately in the BMW you can still turn most of it off including active cruise control. Personally I don’t buy cars if you can’t turn it all off it’s a deal breaker.

Hey Brian, how does the M compare with my 981 Spyder? Lots of peeps prefer the M2 CS, which is not an apples to apples comparison. Great channel btw, better than Smoking Tire, imho. Although you and Matt could be “brothers from another mother”.😹😹

[stevehrocks]

Why does every other source say twin turbo 6 and not single twin scroll. Which is it?

[adventuresofjandk]

😂. There is no lag on the manual shift. You ever driven a corvette with paddles. Now that has lag. I drove this back to back with a pdx boxter and felt zero difference. Great overall review though

Hi Brian another excellent video as we've come to expect from you. Last time we chatted we had a differing of opinion re. the Lexus LC500 which you preferred and the RCF which I preferred. Come Saturday I have arranged a test drive with the RCF which I thought I'd made up my mind on. However, a collegue at work has a Lotus Esprit V8 which I've taken a ride in and was v. impressed. I've also had a ride in a Porsche 928 GTS and was impressed by that too. I'd like to call on your experience as a race driver and ask if you have any experience of either the Lotus or the Porsche. Any imput will be most welcome. Thanks. :-)

vehicle virgins strokes every car he drives. one begins to wonder

I actually preferred the looks of prior generation, it was sexy and different inside and out. The exterior of this new one is not bad, but it can almost be anything like a Miata or that Fiat Miata. As for interior that cup holder inside arm rest is just stupid and lack of Apple Play or forcing people to pay is just crazy. This is a cruiser and those misses makes it a no go even if it is quick. The BMW straight six is still the best thing about BMW. Thanks for the great review.

I think he meant to say hes reviewing the toyota supra lol jk

[frozencarguy]

Good looking car but I don't get why people like white interiors. I'm too sloppy.
