2014 BMW Z4 First Drive

2014 BMW Z4 First Drive
2014 BMW Z4 First Drive - Automobile Magazine
This classic roadster stays the course.

BMW's Z4 is the mostly classically proportioned roadster on the market, with a miles-long hood, a pert rounded tail, and a narrow cabin set just ahead of the rear axle. The latest iteration, which debuted in 2011, saw the designers smooth out the sheetmetal, eliminating the swoops and slashes that marred the first-generation Z4. We thought the Z4-based Zagato Roadster shown at Pebble Beach last summer might have portended a new look for the production car. Instead, BMW has given its drop-top two-seater the mildest of updates for 2014.

Dyer Consequences: Do It Yourself. Or Maybe Don't.
Dyer Consequences Do It Yourself. Or Maybe Don't - Automobile Magazine
In my line of work, I'm constantly reminded of my mechanical ignorance.

In my line of work, I'm constantly reminded of my mechanical ignorance. One time on an assignment out in Vegas a guy was showing me a bad cam in a 1960s Hemi, and as he manually rotated the crankshaft he told me to peer in and look for the wiped lobe. "Oh, yeah," I said, trying to indicate the general area where one might find such an item. "You've definitely wiped it. If my eyes don't deceive me, you're gonna need a total lobotomy." I may have been scrutinizing the windshield-wiper motor.
