Well you just got to download the latest Top Gear episode where they test the new BMW Z4 M. What more can i say? They liked it alot, and as usual Jeremy doesn't aprove too much with almost any BMW. It's hard for him to recognize...
Well the time: 1. 26 dead. And that's VERY good. It's 0.2 sec quicker than the M5, faster than the Porsche Cayman, faster than a Ferrari 575 GTC, Aston Martin Vanquish, obviusly Merc CLS 55 amg and so on...
It's a beast that car, and i have a hunch that the coupe could handle slightly better.
Also they did some other crazy stuff, like filled a Mercedes S Klass with concrete to make it like a lounge
and they test drove (again) the Konigsegsfafasdtew CCR with a wing on it (because the Stig lost control at the 1st test, because the car lacked of downforce, 800bhp and no downforce to use them resulting in 1.22 sec) and now with that rear spoiler he managed to crack the fastest time with 1.17.6 detroning the Zonda F with 1.18.4. That shows what a little but well studied spoiler can do to a really fast car.
Here is the link to the torrent:

Enjoy!

If you don't want to download the whole episode, you can watch it here

All the other segments from that episode should be on youtube as well.

Jezza seems to have decided that Bangle BMW's are ugly and is going to hold to that decision in stereotypical Yorkshire fashion. How can he think the Z4 coupe is ugly is beyond me entirely.
