Ultimate Driving Machine

Have always heard BMW's claims to make the ultimate driving machine. Have never drove one before, but after test driving sports cars for a full year and settling on the Z4, now I know why BMW says that - it is the ultimate truth. This car handles great, takes curves exceptionally well, punch the gas and this car takes off! Interior is extremely comfortable, fuel economy good, especially on long drives. Drove from Alabama to Outer Banks, NC for 5 day trip and everything fit in the trunk - most spacious by far. We go out in the evenings just to drive the Z4 because it truly is fun to drive.

This was truly worth the wait. The power and handling of my Z4 is performance magic. I’ve wanted a Z4 ever since they first came out. She is perfect in every way. She has plenty of truck space; it’s amazing how much you can really fit in there. I’m averaging 25 MPG. It’s everything and more you expect from the ultimate driving machine.

Red Z4 by JLV

I have about 2200 miles on my RED Z4. It is small but has the feel of a larger car. The 2.5 has plenty of power. I have AT with premium, sport, and convenience packages. Get all the packages you can. The trunk is adequate but other storage is minimal. A great car and a lot of fun.

A "toy" for the suburbs

Practical Guy, 07/09/2006

I'm a mid-lifer whose purchase reflects a typical mid-life crisis decision. It's a vehicle that's truly a fun "toy". After so many years of driving the terribly practical sedans of the day the Z4 injects a healthy shot of adrenaline as well as a double dose of reality .. (1) It takes a little while to use the 6-speed manual transmission with the unconscious competence needed to enjoy the ride to the max, and (2) Heck, when did I get so old??? Being a practical man with an attitude that frowns upon "social status via automobile", I clearly stepped out-of-my-box with this purchase. It does draw a great deal of attention. That alone takes some getting used to.

Outstanding handling & acceleration, 2.5 liter engine is adequately powerful to leave SLK & Boxster behind, great looks, and excellent service at dealership
