EVO's group test gave the vote to the Cayman, but then after driving my car (with an equivalent set of tyres to the Cayman) decided that it would a much closer decision (in fact Richard then preferred the Z4MC, but I will leave it for him to write his own conclusion in next month's issue).

When I joined EVO to test the Z4M Roadster against the Boxster S, we gave the decision to the Z4M. Likewise in a recent magazine test (albeit in a BMW oriented publication), we reviewed the Z4MC against the Cayman S and gave the verdict to the Z4MC 2 to 1.

SportAuto magazine gave the vote to the Z4MC over the Cayman S, despite it running on those appaling Continentals.

So maybe it's 4-3 then..
