Hmmm... a spot of 'gauntlet-throwing' there?
Let's find an unused runway sometime and try a 0-120 time....
has to be at least 120, I can't get traction until I get up to 3rd, lol.
a tankfull of unleaded says I get to 120 before your Zzzzzzzz.....

When I said "as for the HEMI" I was meaning stay away because I will want one instead of the CRD. We need two cars so the Z4 was a nice choice as a second car. Standard book figures show the Z4 I'm picking up next week as being 1 full sec quicker 0-60 than the HEMI, but I'm not looking for a whose car is quicker argument. There are several slower Z4 roadster models (I think the 2.2 pushes 8 seconds?)and the only quicker one is the Z4 M.
I'm only gonna drive the Z4 every now and then when I fancy a go. The missus will use it to pootle the 5mins back and forth to her work. The CRD will be our main car.
To tell you the truth I've never been into fast cars and the only sports car I've owned I sold on within a few months because it wasn't my thing. - why the Z4 is a good second car.
Anyway anything is an improvement on the micras 0-60 of 15s which is probably more like 18 or 19 with the slipping clutch at the moment.
Looking forward to my test drive tomorrow. I've been givin a limit of 100miles and 24hrs to play with it. Any strange quirky things I should know about? Like the car won't start unless foot is on brake, fuel filler release is hidden inside the boot and the likes?
Cheers
