E89 Z4 at Detroit auto show

Does s-drive just connote rwd?

Is the current diff in the M models electronically controlled at all or is it purely mechanical? I'm sure they'd get a nice performance boost from using DPC on rwd models (much like Ferrari has done) if it isn't already the case.

It's the best Z-series car yet. I do like it somehow, but I would buy a 3-er coupe instead to be honest. The new Z4 has got a nice rear styling, but shame the front is not aggressive enough for me.

I love the looks. I have a 2006 M Roadster in Sapphire Black tucked away in my garage and while the looks were first a bit iffy to me, the big wheels, cross drilled brakes, power ridges on the hood (m specific) and other M modifications have made me really fall in love with the car. Driving it is just an absolute dream, and the S54 at 333hp with a car that's right at 3k lbs combined with the perfect weight distro has been an absolute blast. The only thing that took some getting used to was looking over that big long bulbous hood, but then again in my Z3 M Coupe I had to deal with the fact that the windows didn't roll down all the way and when you looked in your side exterior mirrors half of the view was blocked by big bulging rear fenders Loved it!

So I'm about to have my Imola Red X5 4.4i parked next to my M Roadster which should cover just about any need for a bachelor
