The z4 wears the BMW badge but it is far from their best car even though it's a vast improvement over the disappointing z3. The Nissan while looking a little dated has a much bigger community for tuning and customising not to mention a namesake (z car) most petrol heads understand. It's cheap and plastic but good fun, it's not as nimble as its s2000 or rx8 brothers but more than makes up for it in engine performance. For the same price of a z4 you could get a tidy 350z, give it a nice exhaust, maybe some better shocks and some decent rubber and still have change, it's the one Id have... .. Just don't buy the convertible.. Especially in Orange.

+Dave Checkley There is no "nice exhaust" for the 350z. The Z4 isn't just a poser's car, didn't you watch the video? There's another one where they test the Z4 and the Boxster, and the choice isn't so clear there either. I like the 350z (more than the 370z) and would probably own one, but if you're judging your fellow petrol heads and then dismissing BMW like that...

***** I needed a reminder as to why I don't like the 350z's exhaust note, so I looked around youtube. Some of those aftermarket or hack setups just sound awful. You can hear the interference on some of them, I bet you can feel that flat spot in the powerband too. Nasty. By comparison, I think the Nismo one sounds pretty good. I wouldn't do it if I owned one though. I also hate the way aftermarket exhausts sound on Subarus, except for equal length headers.
@z06dave

Eric Leippe well considering I own a 350z with an aftermarket exhaust I can say from experience that it does not affect the way the car performs in the least, the note is deep and it compliments the V6 grumble. There is no flat spot at all.

I used it for a daily driver for almost a year, which would not have really been possible with the newer (2009+) model - the trunk space in the 2008 and earlier is quite impressive. I've taken numerous trips from a weekend to a week and haven't been left out for luggage. Keep in mind though, it also has run-flats which some feel gives a harder ride.

Hardly - I've driven all of these cars and the S2000 was by far the worst. It's absolutely gutless below 5000rpm - there's no torque so you need to thrash the hell out of it all the time to get any sort of decent acceleration. If you're a boy racer and like revving an engine to the redline all day, fine - if you want something that's quicker and a lot nicer to drive (the S2000 is also cramped and "plasticy") then the BMW or Nissan are a hell of a lot better.
