BMW Z4, 420d Convertible, X6 M

So, today I decided to do a test drive two convertibles, one of which I want to rent out in the summer (for obvious reasons). More precisely, one of the cars, Roadster, and this is something else)

Let's start with the Z4 2.0 M Sport.

What can I say? Nice car, however there are both advantages and disadvantages are very significant. Goes well with the sound of the engine is even nothing, despite the fact that it's only 2.0. Gasoline, of course (what a @&%£&* takes the Roadster with a diesel engine?!). Rulitsya also interesting, although initially strange, because the hood is crazy long and it seems like you are trying to pull the neck, but did not see the end of the hood.

Externally, the competition - in my opinion, a really nice car (for those who do not know how to appreciate the little Roadster because they are "not cool" please accept with their dignity).

BMW Z4 420d Convertible X6 MI really like these shapes.

The interior on the fan, and a special Suite there, but the car adjusts to the driving screen can be removed (I hate to ride in the "Christmas tree" at night, especially when the road is not lit), a / C controls right in front of you, and indeed all at your fingertips.

Without a screen.

And here he is

Far hidden roof control, and other functions, and there will not climb if you are not standing at a traffic light, because it is very distracting and not visible, what there is of a button.

The torpedo as usual, in the style of all BMW.

I really liked the products because I love these protruding "eyes", and after a Lexus realize that I still missed conventional analog devices. I have, unfortunately, only digital.

And here is the hood space. It is immediately evident that there ought to push the motor a little more)) by the Way, note that the motor is moved back, closer to the cockpit. This, for obvious reasons, to improve the handling.

What are the disadvantages of this machine?

Terribly strange. First, a very tall man (2 meters) will not be able to sit comfortably. My height is 186 cm and I fit, but not to say that super comfortable, although I liked it.
But that's nothing - at low speeds the car begins to fall apart, because you can hear the window rubbing on the inside of the door, and felt some strange vibration. Not sure I could live with the car riding on it every day.

The BMW 420d Convertible.

Unfortunately, there is not much to write because the pictures I do not have time, and didn't want (car nothing). A test drive could generally fail, because they broke the fastening system of the roof in the trunk (in the new car?!) and it was impossible to close. Barely managed.
Landing after the Z4 about anything. Sports 0. Diesel in a convertible sucks. On the one hand, you can go to the beach, and fit the two long-legged beauties in the back, and the other will fit a large-scale and long-poze friends))
And yet, emotions control this machine 0.

And, in the end, the X6 M.

Well what can I say? I like this car resembles the biceps (too much training?), which sank, and screams "I'll rip all the *****!", and she really will do it.
Design a good profile I like it too.

With the trunk of the case is so-so, sorry, but this "coupe-shaped crossover" (yeah, great phrase), so enjoy aerodynamics.

Salon.
And here comes the "Mamma MIA!" when the mouth drops open, and you think, "I thought, or is it really a BMW?". Here's how to do salons! And no, I do not mean red, and not even about carbon fiber (although I like it), but rather about the design, execution, and even the quality! Finally, BMW comes to that level where I want to buy this car. That's what I was waiting for! The pace, the next car in the garage as the BMW.

BMW Z4 420d Convertible X6 MJust gorgeous!

The result:

Z4 I want to rent out in the summer, because the machine is cool, and I liked it.
Maybe in the course of the year, in our garage will be a new X6 (or X6 M). Although, he'll have to work around Cayenne and Maserati)

I have not skated, but realized that I really, really like. Last could not stand for cabin and landing, but everything is top class!
About the sound I agree! In short, I'm very very like it)

krav4uk 08.08.19

Yes when I rolled on the new X6M is a blast, 4 seconds for this car is gorgeous! Plus the unreal exhaust sound and hard kick when shifting from first to second and then to third. Machine for driverscom Caiaphas!

VitalyUK 08.08.19

Z4 is a great car for those who see a lot of sun (if no complexes, of course), but X6 - General-purpose variant)

somebody 08.08.19

Z-cool ka H6m is also at altitude.

VitalyUK 08.08.19

Wow, that's text!)

The fact of the matter is that the Z4 is a controversial car, and I love controversial machine. They can leave) she's Got a great fit, but it's like she's falling apart. She's got a great design, but very little space. It's got a cool sound for a small motor, but I want more) and it costs is not enough for this car!
The Boxster I see quite often (in the UK and in the South of France), and the machine cool. Did not go, but I sometimes go on the 911 Carrera 4s 2014 years, you can imagine how steep the Boxster, which is lighter and more nimble. Still Porsche is the best brand, but you have to understand that nuance is also large.

No, handling is not an empty phrase!) Although helico won't tell!) By the way, yesterday I squeezed 220/225 911, and realized that, you know that ass hard. Although, it was all-wheel drive, so it wasn't so bad.

Be sure to try! It is only necessary to select the location, day, etc.) And the jeep should be!)

I have no illusions about the fact that the Boxster is the best - it is) it's Just a question of price, and for me it is more logical to buy an expensive car, but to drive it 10 years than to buy a Boxster, although it may be temporary)
And SLK I do not like this plan)
And about the salons I know a lot - and went on Panamera, and Cayenne, and 911, so everything is learned. Still 911 the coolest, IMHO) Especially when the interior carbon fiber) anyway, tomorrow will post if I will not forget)

)))) I read about z4, 4 cabrio, and see yourself a few years ago... ))) I really like the z4, had planned to buy, looking at the time, a decent option from the dealer. But when I drove it, not to impressed, but I can say that left weird impressions from handling. Never buy a car without a test drive )) And it so happened that by the time friends advised me to see a Porsche Boxster ... Definitely wanted a hard roof, so no "rag" had not considered and had to force myself to go to the salon to see "alive" (another observation — it is impossible to create a complete impression of the car on photo)))) In reality, the Boxster has impressed me more than the photo). And it turned out that the new generation of Boxster roof top and front (30-40 percent probably) of solid metal just above the driver, it's just cloth covered. Well, outwardly, it of course, I liked it. And when he traveled, and even on the road saw him, then went and ordered )))

See that writing about the handling, well that is for you )))) Try at least an hour to ride in the Boxster, consider how he turns, holds the road and almost no heels with active transposition. After that I in the former I have at that time a passenger car (BMW F30) could not go without remembering this experience. And eventually sold it, buying the right toy for pleasure from driving process, did not want to offend ))) And for everything else (because many people speak of the "impracticality" of roadsters as such) I have the "big black jeep" )))

And you can read more about the different roadsters (Boxster, Z4, SLK) — click here. The Boxster I put 9 out of 10 balls, and the rest much less ... and the interior doesn't compare... I had at the time the new BMW, had to get used to ... stores — they not the best side ))) by the Way, the salons have all of the latest Porsche almost the same, so if you do not find the Boxster, take a look at any in Panamera, Macane, Cayenne (but the last), especially if light(more "dressy") and fully leather, including the dashboard, doors, etc.

And here's another — my favorite publication at the time declared the Boxster is the best car of 2013 (Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2013):

Z I like the shapes, hard top, landing, and approach - is a great coupe for the city (sorry, 3-ka like less :) ), but only for fans of "real" driving, so how about normal driving can be forgotten)
And X6 is the bomb, especially with the letter "M")

s
somebody 08.08.19

the disconnect is beautiful, so aesthetically I was happy when I read and watched about it)
but when he reached x, I forgot all that was before him.
It's great)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

I generally become a fan of this model, especially when the conversation comes to X6 M) She is aggressive, comfortable, and most importantly - stands out. Well, I do not like fresh cars!)

s
somebody 08.08.19

Waow, Vitaly! You admire the X6 M? Suddenly)))

VitalyUK 08.08.19

And the city saw one of these times in the summer - cool car, but not for me)

They have no M versions for a test drive for some reason, oddly enough, in my opinion! I want a detailed post) That's for sure! And I makan a lot less like.
Because it will be exclusive and hopefully beautiful, unlike the ugly Bentley)

eugeshik 08.08.19

I just here recently, for the sake of interest climbed on Craigslist to consume what's with the z8, found two, years like 2001 and 2003. can't remember exactly. Both cost in the region of 7-8 cartoons. Ofigel. Closed. Re-opened — found — again frozen shut. :D

And PCA test drive do not offer? Let's insist!))) I want a detailed post.:)
Yes, Kai is now ass tuptim. Tail lamps — space. Although I prefer the macan.
And why Mather? Soon cross and Bentley will come and aguachica, there is still a Lambo and a rolls will warm :D

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

I went to her before, and the passenger is not fun, but driving just kicks. Although girls do not like it (then the girl was driving), so the main buyers of the Z4, from what I've seen, men!)
Z8 is cool, but I'd take something else)

X6 M is the bomb, and it is difficult to find flaws, really. Only a test drive do not offer)
Kai was restyled, plus a cool salon, but X6 new and much more aggressive!
Levante, when it is finally released (pre-order was planned in 2010)!

e
eugeshik 08.08.19

And I zedcom a special love we experienced. Well BMW, well, a Roadster, well, cool, well, the roof folds... :))
I just with the prices z8 always shocked :D

On account of the x emka. Very good. :)
But, he's newer than Kai. Although the salon space. True media say, the horror, compared to the Bavarian.
And Maserati... What? The upcoming XS when cross, or Gilby/Quattroporte, etc?)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

Well, it depends) the Machine is very cool, but I want to remove it for a couple of days to understand exactly what this beast)

191 — in the new z4 fit perfectly) very cool car — just for the Heady)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

I agree, but again, the price makes you think twice)

H
Hammernuts 08.08.19

SL is the best option, despite the controversial appearance)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

No, it is not only the coupe (and I'm not a fan). Once again, convinced that the only true convertible Roadster!
And all the rest, it's true)

H
Hammernuts 08.08.19

And four about anything, I agree.
Except that on the handle, and then — joy-for a week)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

I agree, some inexplicable phenomenon. How is it possible to think of this before? In my opinion, is the choice of idiots (the only exception is the 640d, and it is very controversial. Salons they do shit, BUT it depends on the model and configuration. Plastic is mostly unclear about. But again, it depends on which model is considered.

Diesel in a convertible — then once everything is clear, it's n... I don't know what could be worse.
Forgive me the owners of BMW, but the cabins in the BMW makes the shit, or you can call from "recycled materials", which as you like. Fed up with my UAZ, I wanted BMW X5 black in color, went to look. Sit in a BMW X5 and start to touch, the skin seemed sewn from leather jackets from ZARA store in the Toyota's better, but IT's BMW. It looks like plastic, cardboard, buttons on the door THEY SCHREPEL a couple more taps and they are about to fall off. In Toyota the same creaked like that, but once "hooked" on them and all became as it should! With the BMW I'm sure it's not gonna fly, trim fly off along with the door! BMW deflector in my opinion, I actually broke, I think ... well, after that I was afraid that it would make me buy more... got out of the car and quickly went to the door, sat down in his Japanese UAZ quickly and left quickly. Bmode nothing personal.

This is not the most important criterion)

somebody 08.08.19

the main thing you to have a lot of long-legged beauties)

V
VitalyUK 08.08.19

I'm glad you liked it!) Actually, I don't so much (most watching them), but it was impossible not to mention!))

s
somebody 08.08.19

On the one hand, you can go to the beach, and fit the two long-legged beauties in the back, and the other will fit a large-scale and long-poze friends))

about friends smile especially:)
