Sadly most people seem to want to drive big 4x4 type hatchbacks , badly a lot of the time!
Indeed or the new generic ///M offerings even more badly.
If you have Facebook this link is a video of someone traversing a 23 plate M2 in to a Subway branch literally 5 minutes from where we live.

I think the writer is obsessed with Porsche - how many times does he talk about rivaling the boxster?!?!?
and never mind the boxster - that is the pretend Porsche - he misses the fact that the Z3M has the same 0-60 and top speed as the 911 of the same time !!

Usually enormous, heavy square ugly boxes with massive battery packs.
Driving enjoyment is definitely on the way out.
Not so, we just keep driving our proper cars.Driving enjoyment is definitely on the way out.

Until you have to get your petrol delivered by Amazon at £100 a gallon, at least.
I wonder how long it will be before this happens?
The obsession with Electric will disappear soon
Let's hope so
The final incarnation of the Z4 is huge compared to a Z3, not sure why cars seem to be expanding yet in city’s like Bristol the council keeps making the cycling lanes wider!
Fat cyclists 
I drive a 2024 X2 U10 which I suppose is classed as a 4x4 hatchback. When you live rural like me it's better than the 740 I traded in. The Z4 is for summer fun!!
Bit of a shame.
The UK certainly loves a convertible car, much more so than mainland European neighbours. I wonder if sales on he mainland have been low and the UK hasn’t bought enough to make them viable. There are certainly a good few of the new model Z4 on the road.
As much as we love a convertible in the UK, it’s often the summer tourer or the weekend fling. Having a second vehicle is certainly a luxury for the masses in a challenging economy and perhaps people are making a different choice or skipping the second car altogether.
The early z4 cars seemed to offer a bit more variety and price range to let people dip in for a more reasonable fee. New ones aren’t cheap to begin with and that’s before specing any options or selecting a spicier engine.
BMW should have also made a Z4M coupe instead allowing Toyota the exclusivity on a roof top version. I think it would have sold reasonably well, perhaps with a 2+2 shooting break revival. There’s countless Porsche Panamera and Taycans out there of a similar Ilk.
