Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I used to test drive new cars for a living when these cars were new. I have always hated straight 6 engines & the BMW's are so smooth they remind me of a sewing machine. I have always hated BMW interiors also, tiny buttons, peeling vinyl, too stark for luxury, & too complicated for sport. Z3 & Z4 very similar from drivers seat, I'm 5'10" & the dashboard seems to be right in my face. Men driving a Z3 always look like a circus bear in a toy car. 1st thing I did when I quit that job was by my own Boxster S !
