And there's the rub.

There exists almost no sedan (saloon) which can compare to a straight up roadster. The z4 is a statement and lifestyle car. I suppose saloons are statement and lifestyle cars too. The former says that you chase lots of tail and the latter says you have a wife and kids.

I had a z4 and if I had to drive that thing everyday I would have needed a kidney transplant. It was fun but it beats you up.

Why not go halfway between and get a coupe?
