The Z4 is a chick/metro car.

Round here GTI is
A. Gay Man mobile ("Can haz cock and satisfy inner car guy?")
B. Asian metro car ("Hey brah my dad just bought me this awesome graduation present....lets drive to Hollister")
C. Female who is not into cars and doesn't even care if its a GTI or not. All she knows is that its the first car she bought by herself and its not a stick shift and the salesman was really nice when he pointed it out to her on the showroom floor.

True for ANY BMW product....the 5 we have is a cost free car..until something breaks, then HOLY HELL
