Difference in taste, I guess.
I just can't get into them, and it's definitely not for a lack of trying.
I spent Saturday helping a friend swap a new set of Bilsteins onto his M'ster (the only Z4 M Roadster in the US on Bilsteins, he'll tell anyone who will listen). It rocks- great power, terrific handling (better now)- and it's as heavy as my M3.
Why?! (And it's just- ugly.
)
BMW just can't be bothered to build a sportscar anymore. Everything is weighted down with lux crap- it's like for the last 10 years, BMW has tried as hard as it could to become Mercedes. Sure the power and handling is good for large cars- but why only large cars?
My wife is looking for a car, and we've recently concluded to our surprise and dismay that there's nothing BMW is making that we would consider owning. OK, maybe the Mini- if it were rear wheel drive.
Does your Six have a dipstick?
