Review

I purchased a 3.0 titanium silver Z4 last month with the sport package. Absolutely the most enjoyable driving vehicle I have ever owned! Smooth ride, great sound system, this "land shark" is really quick. Incredible in the turns!!! The automatic top is very easy and fast. Destined too be a classic with the new body style. Looks like a piece of art rides like a luxury sedan. Only thing I can think of that needs improvement, it could use more than one power port.

Favorite Features

Styling, handling, comfort,

The 3.0 is fast and has great handling features. The sport package is nice with the 18" wheels and the sport control which makes the car even more responsive than normal. Love the looks and sound of the car as it handles every twist and turn. This is a true sports car and not one of those plastic clones. It is a big plus that BMW is going to pick up the tab for the service over the next 4 yrs or 50k miles.

Favorite Features

It handles and looks like a true sports car. The no touch soft top is great. BMW has included servicing the car into the price of the car for 4 yrs or 50k miles.

Suggested Improvements

A standard alarm system. A less expensive or longer lasting tire. A slightly better sound system.

Review

The power and handling of the vehicle is excelent. There's ample room to be more than comfortable on a long trip.

Favorite Features

The automatic top. Especially, that it can be oporated with the key from the outside of the car.

Suggested Improvements

The only feture I would complain about, is the location of the cruise control. It's very hard to see.

Z-4 SENT FROM HEAVEN

Review

AFTER DOING SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE AVAILABLE ROADSTERS, I NARROWED MY SEARCH THIS PAST SUMMER AND SELECTED THE 2003 Z-4. THE CAR IS NOTHING LESS THAN A REAL JOY TO DRIVE. THE 2.5 WITH MALDIVE EXTERIOR AND BEIGE TOP/INTERIOR DRAWS LOOKS FROM EVERYONE WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD. OPTIONS THAT I PUT ON MINE INCLUDED THE PREMIUM AND CONVENIENCE PACKAGES ALONG WITH AUTOMATIC TRANS. THE MOTOR HAS A DISTINCT GROWL THAT IS UNIQUE. KIND OF LIKE WHAT A HARLEY OWNER FEELS WHEN HE/SHE IS ON THEIR HARLEY. TO SAY IT THE BEST, THERE IS NOTHING NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THIS CAR. IN MY 25+ YEARS OF DRIVING, IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST ENJOYABLE DRIVE I HAVE EXPERIENCED.

Favorite Features

EXTERIOR DESIGN POWER RETRACTABLE SOFT TOP WITH GLASS WINDOW BRUSHED ALUMINUM DASH/INTERIOR THE LOOK AND FEEL WHEN DRIVING WITH THE TOP DOWN

Suggested Improvements

THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT I COULD SUGGEST IS FOR THE ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH A WAY TO ELIMINATE THE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST THAT READILY APPEARS ON THE WHEELS. A SIMPLE JAUNT AROUND THE BLOCK AND THE WHEELS WILL SHOW A COATING.

Driving is Fun Again

Review

I tried the Z-3, and found it bland in styling, a tight fit physically, and short on some of the features I wanted in a sports car. The Z-4 responds to all of these issues: it is eye- catching, easy and comfortable on all kinds of roads and for long distance touring, and has an up-to-date set of power accessories, GPS, sound system, etc. It is a car for those who enjoy interacting with their machine.

Favorite Features

The SMG 6-speed transmission is a joy to use. The alternative of using steering wheel paddles or the normal shift lever allows anyone to rapidly get the most out of the vehicle. The broad torque range of the engine in higher gears, adds to the joy of driving.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more "incidental" storage space inside the cabin - the glove box is too small, and there is no room behind the seats for holding small packages, etc.

Most Fun Car on the Road

Review

This is without a doubt the most fun car I've ever owned. Handles beautifully, plenty of power, and great looks. Got the 2.5 with manual transmission. I was shocked when the dealer said 80% are sold with automatic trans. Why would anyone buy a pure sports roadster and get an auto?

Favorite Features

Acceleration, styling, BMW quality.

Suggested Improvements

Leg room is tight for someone my size (6'3"). Okay for a short drive - have not taken it on a long weekender yet.

My BMW Z4 is a pure joy

Review

I've owned my BMW Z4 for about 5 months now and I can say that is has been more fun than I thought it would be! I realize there is this difference of opinion out there between the Z3 and Z4 fans... Mind you, I could have purchased either or, any car for that matter. The new Z4 in my opinion blows them all away! Sleek and far sexier looking than the bubble styling of Z3. Performance is AWESOME to say the least. Just to start her up is exciting - That low growl. She handles beautifully! Under the hood is perfection! This car is truly pure joy.

Favorite Features

Sleek outer styling of this BMW Z4 is a rubber necker! Trust me, I GET IT EVERY DAY. The performance is super. The automatic soft top is great. The mechanics of BMW speak for itself.

Suggested Improvements

So far I can't offer suggestions on improvements. I have no complaints.
