My wife was showing her family the brochure for the new M Z4 and the females loved it, guys laughed and said it was a chick's car, and then they proceeded to ask if I would ever be seen in such a car.

What do you think?

Real men get the M coupe, not the roadster.

btw, your options are so limited, would have been better if it was a simple yes or no

I think its a great looking car, as far as perfomance goes I'm pretty sure it'll be very good.

so what would make this a girls car? the fact that a girl may not find it ugly?

But I do get your point, for some reason is does seem like a chics car,

Now the Z4M coupe (now on the BMW site) feels a bit more guyish.
I guess its just weird that way.

I don't think it is a girls car, and it is fast enough to smoke nearly anyone who might poke fun at you driving one, short of your everyday 430 driver.

Check out this carbon roadster by TC Kline and then see what you think.

It looks cool... def. not a chick's car, but also not for the reasons you listed...

It's not a chick’s car, but then it's not a very good car. I think you would be better off with a 3.0 Z4, S2000 or a Boxster S

so, if your buddies said that he e46 M3 was a chic's car would you still drive it?
I rented one in Germany before I moved back stateside and I fell in love with the car. If I saw a chic driving a Z4, I would follow her home and ask her to marry me just so I can drive her car.

If you are calling it a chick’s car, then you are saying it is feminine. I am comfortable with my own masculinity, but I don’t think I would date a chick w/ballz that big.

According to the BMW site, it is the Z4 M Roadster.

Looks like a chics car, but because it's an M, it's not.

I happen to like the z4 and think the z4 M is even nicer... I would drive one, and might buy the M Coupe when its released.

If anybody is unsecure in this car it is becasue of their own personal problems, not because of the design of ther car.

BMW NA says the M Roadster is slower 0-60 than the e46 M3.

Off bmwusa.com: Feel the adrenaline kick in. With a 3.2 liter, 24-valve inline six-cylinder engine – which has been named “Engine of the Year” by an international jury five times in a row – you’ll take to the open road with enough power to go from 0-60 in a mere 4.9 seconds

I still don't think any M car is a "chicks car".

I like it, would rather have the Mcoupe.

BTW......Asked my girlfriend if she wanted one, M roadster that is, and she said it is too much, HP and aggressive looking. Same complaint I have heard from other women who's husbands were trying to shove them in an M3 vert., whenever I'm at the dealership, too much power and too raw.

So definietly not a chick's car....

Its been described is several magazine as a sleghammer, unholly offspring, difficult to drive smoothly with the sport button on, etc. I think this is more of a mans Z4.

I ordered the Z4 M Coupe. Black Sapphire, Imola Red, Carbon

no its not a chicks car but agree with everyone though that the coupe does look much better.

The wheels on the Z4m roadster ar as ugly as hell and whats with the ride height ? ?

and why is there a boot, when the friggin M mobility kit fills up the whole rear space ? ?

but can't deny its handling or punch, certainly drives better than the E46 M3, which is no mean feat.

For me, living in Germany, any convertible is a waste of money. Ever gone 150+ mph with the top down? Well I had a Nissan 350Z roadster here in Germany for about 8 months... at 130+ the top of your head feels like you are getting smacked with a rolled up newspaper. Not fun.

E46 M3 = true autobahn destroyer.

i dont believe it is a chicks car. too much for the lady to handle (not dissin lady M drivers). I just dont see normal know-nothing-about car girls picking a Z4M over an eclipse.
