2006 BMW Z4 Hatchback 3.0si 2dr Hatchback (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Z4 Coupe 3.0si... so far, so good
 I followed this vehicle since the X Coupe Concept unveiling in Jan '01 and loved the look the moment I saw it.   Previously owned a '00 Z3 M Coupe (S52 engine) and would rate the Z4 similarly but with welcome upgrades in chassis stiffness and cabin noise reduction.   I-6 is inherently smooth, mechanically sophisticated, and refined but not sleep-inducing.  Much better than the M3's S54 which I found to be rough, unappealingly raspy, and difficult to drive smoothly in traffic.   Materials quality and fit and finish is fine but doesn't approach VW/Audi.  Great steering feel and response.  Somewhat heavy but appropriate clutch and shifting.
