When weighing both price and performance (bang for buck) between the two models, you will wind up paying a lot more for a Z4 as to a comparible S2K.

Depending on the price you're willing to pay.

Hope that helps to clear some of the fog.


I was being a smartass and taking his argument points literally just to fuk with him..

and.....of course the Bimmer is more costly....It's BMW! Yes, you're paying for the name.
Yes, you're paying for extra shyt, and some people would rather have all the extras.....I personally enjoyed and felt it was worth paying extra for heated seats, satellite radio, sport springs, and all the other things my car came with.....Some ppl might just need the bare minimum.....It's all up to checkbook and preferences....
