bmw miracles
it has been the greatest car i have ever bought.
Dependable?
Bought the car in November of 2003. Loved the drive of the car and was impressed with the it's lines. Within the first 3,000 miles, had to repair both front tires due to puncture. After 10,000 miles had to replace all 4 tires. Inflation pressure listed by BMW was not the same as required by the tire company. No problem with tires after proper inflation. Soft top would not function due to a leak in system. Fixed under warranty. Problem with front suspension system. Fixed under warranty. Few months after warranty ended, master computer system failed. Replacement value $1,300. BMW paid half. Currently car is in shop for front suspension system problems again.

Excellent all the way around
I've driven mine across the country and it's superb in all respects -- fun, reliable, great gas mileage, great performance, all ways. Even though it's small, it has good storage space and excellent driving compartment space. Gas mileage on the road is 34-38 mpg. Semi-auto transmission is fun, but jerks on changes often, annoying. All in all, a plus, though. I'd buy another without question.
BMW Z4
Just moved to the Z4 from the 740IL. Quite a change, but a wonderful one. Still feel the sturdiness and responsiveness of a BMW, but a lot more fun to drive.
SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE...A SHOWSTOPPER
I have owned six different models of BMW's over the last 24 years but this is by far away the most fun to drive. I would never consider a Z-3 but the Z- 4 is so cool and "begs to be driven". The suspension system is unbelievable; the braking system is phenominal. The seats are very very comfortable and I am 6'1. This is a an automobile that I will keep for a long time. A great car!
