Z4 M Roadster competition

cmon, the Z4M is a beast. everytime I see one in front of my window I interrupt my yourpon session cause this is more enjoy. who cares about a gayman...
Alex Hart 14y ago
I think you will find that the Z4M will knock the bloody socks off of the top of the range new cayman. I have owned both of these cars. The bmw Z4M Is quicker to 60 and the top speed (Unlimited) is also a0lot greater. The handling on the caymen is awful.
TheFrank 15y ago
The 09' Cayman / Boxster S (310-320hp) blow the doors off BMW's Z4 M car. The prior 06-08 Cayman / Boxster suffered due A LOT to no LSD (Porsche afraid would outperform 911). And that's just from a numbers standpoint. From the all-important man-road-machine prospective it's no comparison. I say this for those who watch UK/BBC Top Gear as a source of > factual
information. I know it sounds ridiculous that people would actually recite them as a credible source but you’d be surprised. These are the same people that have morons going around saying > The ONLY reason you drive a Boxster / Cayman is because you can’t afford a 911
and so on. They obviously have no idea what they’re talking about.

eric thats kind of an unfair comparison putting the brand new cayman s up against the older Z4 M is unfair comparison. a fair comparison would be up against the Z4 Sdrive35is. if you look it up the porsche is still faster but at least its a fairer comparison

@ crni09
No, the BMW Z4M is certainly not faster than the 09+ Porsche Cayman S. I might have been a slightly quicker lap time on a couple tracks vs. the prior (295hp version) but it doesn\'t stand a chance in hell against the new 09+ Porsche Cayman S like I said.
crni09 17y ago

The quickest and easiest way to find out what is Google is to google "google" in Google.

427, did you know that BMW Z4 Roadster beather of M3, SLK55 335i Infiniti, Range Rover Sport?
FastestLaps 17y ago
I am sure it has a potential to become a new internet phenomenon. Like Chuch Norris or Rickroll.

This is crni09's favourite tune: It's "You Know Me BEATHER" by Roisin Murphy. And it goes like this:
Have you ever known me
Bit too shy to jump in
But when it comes to you
I can't win
'Cause you know me BEATHER than I know myself
You know me BEATHER than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me BEATHER than I know myself
You know what to expect...

He's a very strange induvidual and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the real meaning of the infamous BEATHER.
But we will never know for sure. Only he himself could explain what the beather stands for. Unfortunately, like all these excentric induviduals (including our friend Adam), crni09 never speaks and never aswers any questions. All he does is spawn generic, repetive, gramatically incorrect and completely pointless comments that start with single assumtion and ends with a row of completely random model and brand names. Very often but not always, there's the magical word "BEATHER" in between.
Here's an example: "this car is faster of the boxster s" (first part - single assumption) "cayman s,nissan 370z" (second part - random names).
Another one "good car but the racing rivals is beather :mazda rx8,audi tt,merc slk..."
