2025 40i Z4

I have a 2006 Z4 M. My wife thought it would be a good plan to test drive the last of the Z4s. A 2025 40i Z4. The sales folks were great, and the green version looked great. Our daily driver is a 2025 Lexus NX350H, and we only use the Z4 during the summer, since we live in Canada. We tested the standard version of the 25, and I have to say... Its very well behaved. felt very spirited off the start, and the addition of apple car play was very cool!!. The seats are comfortable, the stick easier to manoeuvre. But... No thanks. This car has no soul. it drives like my lexus, with way more torque. Felt like a daily driver vs a Sunday fun car. No roar, no life, no fun. No thanks. Environmental regs have taken the life from these cars. It could go mach 5 and not be as fun as the historic rides we have come to love.
