Thanks for this video dude! I’m shopping between the two and this is really the only video that gives a first hand comparison. Hope you’re enjoying your M40i!

Great book I have plans to buy it when I get the money the currency difference hits hard. Thanks for showing what's inside I appreciate that 🎉

Chat which one's straight up better ? As in if I pay more, what all am I getting more

PPF is self healing for fine scratches so i never worry like you do as the sun heat removes them.

I was wondering about this. Thanks for your insight

Great video, I really wish they would have made this statue make him look anything other than shackled. This is honestly the only Blizzard statue so far that I haven't immediately said I am getting this. But I will at some point once it is on a decent sale. Thank you so much for showing it off.

No way on earth would i get a sports car without a manual gearbox…. Nice looking car

I should take delivery of my MG Cyberster dual motor EV convertible roadster with 536 hp (0-60 in 3.2 seconds) next month. I'm looking forward to engaging in some comparisons with the Z40i. Should be fun. Oddly both cars share the same top as MG sources the top and mechanism directly from BMW.

wow..

Location please

Thanks for sharing with us. Happy you got it on sale.

Background music overpowers your voice. Not sure why you raised your windows to reduce road noise then played your unnecessary music so you can’t hear anything. Leave the music to professionals.

I do have the M40i - it’s a beautiful engine but I remember the 4 cylinder when I drove it seemed more responsive right from the start and the car felt more nimble - I will never use the power that gathers like a storm in my B58 engine but the car is a looker and if you are not one who likes too much attention ( like my wife ) this is not the car for you. When I drive my older 3 series - no one pays any attention to me - when I take the Z4 out for a drive - I become a little James Bond - people compliment me all the time - somehow I believe they are sincere and I also feel that it is not a snobbish car ( maybe because it’s not as large and in your face as other exotics ? ) it truly is a good looking vehicle and I do have the Misano Blue with white leather seats - the prices are coming down on Auto trader so many people can get to own one. I remember coming to a traffic stop and in the opposite direction facing me was this nice looking girl in her Red Z4 - we couldn’t stop smiling at each other . ( I don’t think my wife would have liked that too much )

Great Video! I wonder if you think the Z4 is quieter or noisier than an economic household vehicle (corolla etc.) when the top is up? Is it mostly the engine, the tire/road noise, or wind noise?

Bro did you finish running a marathon before you filmed? Your heavy breathing is very distracting

so you mean 30i is more comfortable ?

I'm getting the 6MT in the same color. Looks great! (P.S. What model Oakleys are those? Need that kind of side glare protection in a roadster).

Congratz!!! Looks really nice!!!

Horseman, I am ordering my Z4 M40i soon and still tweaking the spec. I am wondering in the short time you've had yours, what's your feeling on the moonlight top vs. standard black? Thanks.

I paid for “route protection” and it arrived in perfect condition. Shouldn’t have to do that, but for $2.35 it was worth it

That’s cool

After driving an S2000 for the last 17 years, the 30i just isn't a large enough upgrade. 40i it is, and manual is only available on the 40i in the US.

Horseman, thanks for the video. Question? On your 3.0 you didn't have the Msport package which comes with the upgraded suspension. Now that you have it, is it a major difference between having it and without when comparing the suspensions? I'm looking for a pre owned (not sure if it will be a 3.0 or 4.0) and there are many great selections available. However, a lot are without the msport package and other packages as well. I'm seeking feedback if its worth waiting for one with the Msport package even though it may have higher mileage and/or cost? Intended driving will be daily commutes splitting hwy and backroads about 30 miles each way. Also, from your ownership experience, are there any recommended must have and you can live without packages/options. Thanks!

Where did you get this from? Also where did you get that grommas statue! that looks incredible

Could you say where you got the doomhammer from? I am trying to build a collection and trying to find trusted sources!

IMO best looking roadster on the market currently. Looking forward to buying one myself :)

I very much appreciate your comparison comments between the S30i and M40i variants of the Z4. I also valued your comparison of the standard black top verses the material quality of the optional "silver/black" top material. In describing your pretty much base spec S30i, I wonder if that vehicle had had the optional Dynamic Handling Package along with Premium package, might that have been the sweet spot? A combination of lighter weight, $10k less purchase cost, likely lower cost insurance for nearly the same "real world" (not race track) performance but loosing only the more aggressive exhaust note. I'm leaning more in that direction having had made a similar decision choosing a 230i xDrive over the M240i xDrive some years ago. If you HAD configured your S30i with that higher trim level and Dynamic Handling Package...would you still have felt the desire for the upgrade?

I have a Misano blue s20i version. Great mix of economy (47mpg average), power (200bhp) that’s more than enough in the UK, practical for a two seater (golf clubs in the boot). Brilliant when the sun is out as the roof is down always on a dry day. I have owned lots of cars in my time, this is however my new favourite

Great video - thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to hear your 1 year review of the M40i!

Good video, thanks for sharing; your car looks fantastic, how often do you've to clean/condition the leather seat?

30i owner here... in 'the blue', with all the black stylings, 19's, blue callipers, every single package available (took the car from 45k to 61k), remapped to 320 bhp (cost me 300 bucks)... would i swap? no for one reason; the additional cost for extra p's isn't worth it. and yes for one reason; the badge (lol). also the 30i is 130kg / 290lbs lighter than the 40i, so a stage 1 remap leaves you 62bhp short with plenty of weight saving to even further eat into the power difference. lastly, in manual, in the 30i, if you know what you're doing, you can burble it at will... to finish, as some have said, in the UK we have a 20i, that's 2.0 litre non turbo and 197 bhp. even stock, still a magnificent machine. let's be honest, anyone who has a Z4 G29, at any power level, knows how amazing the car is... safe driving everyone, and great video (EDIT - blimey, i didn't realise the UK m40i was only 335 bhp! therefore i think mine would take a gutless UK variant. how odd)

Paint protection film. Does it prevent car from keying?

Bro deserves a lot of views and subscribes I really love your high quality content and voice

okay the golem was cool, but when you raised skeleton Jedi, my eyes went wide xD

If i play Last Epoch. I will start Necro without a question. Cause THIS and the Diablo version of Necromancer is my favorite. I like the design very much and if i can summon undeads and using necrotic spells like this. Can't wait the game to release soon.

Great vid! when you were showcasing the exhaust sounds though, it would have been super helpful if there wasn't any background music playing.

I love my Z4 so much that I'll watch someone else wash theirs.

How would it fair in a rainy state? Worried about caring for the soft top. Also does it have soft close door and power trunk?

Of course the 30i with 255HP is more than enough if you do not care much about the pure power and sound of the inline-6.. Outside the USA they also sell the 20i, which has the same engine as the 30i but with less power (197HP).. The 30i is the mid-level model (outside the USA)..

Hello. Can you share where you got the glass black badging please? Also any info on the install? Thank you!

Love the upgrade, as well as the color. Still Hopeful to get one in 2024 or 2025. 😊

Nice video

Hey Horseman…nice work and nice spec on your Z4! I also own a G29 series Z4 in mineral white - albeit the 4-cylinder. This is my 3rd Z4…had E89 before it and owned an E85 many years before that one (had other cars in between). Just love BMW roadsters I guess. Anyway, I clean my car every week and your video has inspired me to start cleaning inside my engine bay 🤭. And similar to you, wheels can take as long as the car itself…but it’s worth it in the end (IMHO). By chance have you considered cleaning your glass and mirrors with cleaning vinegar? Everyone has their preferred products etc. to clean….just thought I’d pass the suggestion along if you’re open to trying it. I’ve used chemical brothers and other brands over the years and honestly for cleaning glass and other reflective interior trim on the car (i.e. piano black trim)….it works wonders with a soft terry cloth….just my $0.02….looking forward to other videos you post..

No Hk sell it! Love the Hk system in my BMW....

How you get jedi knights lol

I've had my '24 Z4 M40i for a month and a half now. (thundernight metallic). It's the most wonderful car I've owned. A dream to drive.

I drove the 30i recently on a vacation through the California coast and can’t really imagine a need for much more speed, I was stunned with how fast the 4 cylinder was. It sounds good and moves like a rocket. Far faster than any of the older i6 bmws I’ve had. I’ll just say it was more than adequate to fly through the coastal roads at speeds I probably won’t disclose here. Proper handling car too, best possible California sports car I can think of

Can I have your hat? I need that to complete my looks! Also, wish BMW will make the next Z4 exactly like the concept with that color!
