i really haven't gotten to go exercise one of these yet but i have taken one around the block in coupe form. Fucking brilliant car! Even though its got less power than the M3, it's lighter and goes just as fast It just takes a twitch of the foot to slip the tires and the shorter exhaust makes for a wonderful racket

the shifter is set at just the right height so you aren't fumbling with it when you first drive it the way you are the M3. and the gauge cluster has gotten a big shot of sleek compared to it's Z4 brethren.

Setting up the side mirrors i managed to catch a view of the rear wheel arch meeting the C-pillar that gave me chills as it was a view i had come to absolutely love in my 240Z. With exception to the fact that the M Coupe was a bigger flare, it was almost identical to my Datsun

The only thing that kind of crushes me about the M Roadster and Coupe is that it didn't get an aggressive fender flare like the previous generation. Part of the attraction to the E36/7 M was the wide hips that it had when compared to the standard Z3.

It's not a Subzero car, but it's def. cool :good:
