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!

I was looking for a convertible for quite some time. When the Z4 came out, I immediately thought I can stop looking. Love the looks, and love the performance even better. I had wanted to keep my old car since it was paid for, but after driving the Z4 for a couple of weeks, I simply had to sell the old car. Now I am buying a truck as my second vehicle because I simply refuse to drive anything else. Drive one and you'll know what I am talking about.

Fewer features than my top of line Pathfinder, cost about the same, but much more fun to drive. If the sex appeal of the Pathfinder is that of "bloomers in a convent", this is the neatest "thong in Rio"! Have yet to drive it somewhere w/o someone commenting on how 'snazy', cute, sexy it is! Abs love it!! The friendly adoration of strangers offsets the open envy of some male friends!

I've always owned a Mercedes, this is my first BMW. This Z4 is a real performance car. The pleasures of driving this vehicle comes from the triptronic and the fully loaded Z4 thatresponds like a cat. My experience with Mercedes was a luxury ride but this is a well engineered machine. The two downsides are the seatbelt does not rest comfortably and the interior is on the small side.
I love it!

I am a first time BMW owner and I cannot believe how easy it was to fall in love with this car. It's fun to drive, impressive and can quickly get you out of a jam (no pun intended) when it really counts. Although the car mags weren't too impressed with the Z4, I have to disagree. The simple interior makes it sharp and functional. It's a drivers car, you don't need any extra bells and whistles. I was and by far is the smartest deal I have ever made. Nick Alexander Imports is an excellent dealership!

This car is a pleasure to drive, even around town. I have the Steptronic automatic version as my wife doesn't drive a manual transmission. Overall gas mileage is about 24 mpg with a couple of long, mostly interstate driving, trips coming in over 30 mpg. We have taken this car down the Blue Ridge parkway from end to end and around Cape Breton Island, top down. Pure pleasure!

Typical BMW handling, performance, technology, and responsiveness. For a two-seater, this car makes you feel remarkably safe with 6 airbags, sturdy rollbars, stability control, traction control and absolutely fantastic brakes. Surprisingly practical as an everyday commuter - good mileage for a spors car, more trunk space than you think, and of course it's a blast to drive.

The Z-4 2.5 is an example of superb balance of style, functionality, price and value. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. (hint for those that need to convience the wife on buying a sports coup; Subtract your age from 83 and plead with the wife that you only have that many years left to live.

I have owned two 03 2.5 Z4s. One manual and one with automatic. Both have been excellent road cars and just a thrill in the hills. Change to the automatic was for the wife's desire. The automatic with the sequential manual shift works well and in general the automatic is easier in busy traffic. Both vehicles have been outstanding from a maintenance standpoint which includes excellent support from the dealer. While I would agree that the 3.0 would provide some extra horsepower, once you get the 2.5 rolling it delivers pretty well. Gas mileage (though not a concern) has been satisfactory electric top works great and once seated is quite comfortable. Only gripe is low top when getting in

I just got my Z4 for my 28th birthday (16255 miles in excellent condition from one owner!) and I am very impressed. This is my third BMW (currently own 06 330i and previously owned 03 325i) and with out fail it drives to my expectations. This car has every option except NAV and AT. Good acceleration (sport mode) and remarkably quiet. My wife was very impressed after the test drive and we got it! The car makes a better impression in person, than through pics. Interior is nice with remarkably good space, especially the trunk. Now we have to wait for the spring (live in MD) to truly enjoy it, but that doesnt prevent us from driving it on the weekends!

I am a long time BMW driver, absolutely fell in love with this vehicle. I bought the vehicle fully loaded: The premium sound system is terrific, the push button top is a breeze (but who would EVER put it up in good weather) -- the seating is better than my 3-series for tall drivers/passengers ... and, the larger trunk space in the Z-4 as compared to the Z-3 made it possible for me to purchase since I travel a lot for business.Makes you look for excuses to drive. I purchased from Chad Barton [cbarton@autobahnmotorcars.com] via internet. The vehicle is a great value, the service was terrific and they even picked me up at the airport to deliver the vehicle. Wow!!

I traded my Z3 in for this car and what a diffence. I love everything about this car. Everything that I felt could have been improved on the Z3 was greatly improved. The power band is smooth thoughtout the range. Handling is remarkable, it drives thru curves as if on rails. It has a sporty ride but is still not uncorfortable on long trips.

The dealership gave me a Z3 to drive until my Z4 came in, and once it did arrive, I noticed a huge difference in both performance and ergonomics. For one, BMW adjusted the front windshield, removing the blind spots on either side that were a constant nuisance with the Z3. Another upgrade is the addition of a storage space that is positioned between the driver's and passenger's seats -- perfect for storing CDs. Two suggestions: one, get the heated seats, you can crank those babies up and still put the top down when its below 60 degrees out; two, get the electronically adustable seats -- I didn't and really wish I did.

This is my first BMW but my 2nd convertible car. I previously had MB SLK. But the performance and handling of SLK didn't even come close to my new Z4. The designing style of Z4 is definitely nice and aggressive.

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?

We tested the Boxter, S2000, TT, Thunderbird, 350Z and Mercedes SLK 320 before settling on the Z4 2.5, with nearly all the available options. We made the right choice. Two months into ownership, we love the car more now than when we picked it up. It performs spectacular, especially on corners and in acceleration. It gets stares and comments wherever we go (a guy in a 4WD pickup hollered 'nice car' at a stoplight just yesterday. It's surprisingly comfortable for a roadster and so much fun. My wife uses it as her every day car and loves it.

I cant wait til I drive it each time. Alot of fun to drive, 2.5 plenty of power for those who dont need 0-60 < 6secs. Ride as good as the 3-series, handling excellent. Sports mode (only comes with the Sports Package) a must. Audiophiles, audio upgrade a must. Powertop a must, no boot, no latch, very slick. Very quiet ride, top up or down

No regrets! My 2003 2.5i has been a pleasure to own and drive for the past two years. The car remains tight without squeeks and remains trouble free! The manual top can be lowered or raised quickly and easliy with only one hand and glass in the rear window is nice - but why should you care because the top will always be down.

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.

just bought this amazing roadster, let me tell you, if the car looks impressive in person that's nothing compared to the driving experience you get every single time you go out for a run! This control over pavement soars you above all drivers going or coming your way (no matter what their driving). I find myself not wanting to reach destinations so quick,so I take the longer routes to enjoy this magnificent piece of workmanship.I can only say to BMW: My respect to you.

I'm a cyclist and a bit of a purist. I wanted the basic 2.5, no fat, no options or packages--- the pure car. The standard car has a zenlike simplicity and ergonomic design. Manual operation of the soft top is an elegant operation that compares in speed and smoothness with the automatic. The manual seat adjustments are light as a feather. The "leatherette" seats have an athletic, textured ruggedness that I prefer to the creamy- looking leather. Without any distracting electronics, you focus on the driving. What an athletic, agile, road- gripping drive! You can't help smiling as you accelerate on the curves and enjoy the sky meeting the mountains. Pure joy.

This is my first bmw and i now understand the 'ultimate driving machine' tag. It isn't just marketing hype. This car is an amazing drive. No sway, great acceleration, both off the line and at speed. I wasn't sure how the exterior lines would sit with me over time, but having owned it about 9 months now, they don't seem as radical as they did at first impression. All in all, I'm having a ball driving the Z4 and haven't once regretted buying the 3.0 version.

I had a 2000 Boxster for 3 years before purchasing my Z4. It is Toledo Blue w/ tan interior. Sports package, chrome eliptical wheels & SMG. I would have preferred the 6 speed manual - but my wife wanted an automatic. SMG seemed like a good compromise. It took a while to get used to - but now we both enjoy it. The main complaint is that it is not BMW smooth in the automatic mode. However - I am loving the paddle shifters! The greatest surprise is the gas mileage. I easily get 23-26 in normal day to day driving (not taking it easy on the take offs) and 27-31 on long highway trips!

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.

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.

Handles like a dream, enough room for tall drivers (I am 6ft 5in) 5 speed manual is smooth, engine performance is great! Dealer (BMW NW) were and continue to be excellent.

Z4 BMW is by far the best sports car I have ever driven. The 3.0 has excellent power while still offering tremendous fuel economy. A recent 6 hour trip on interstate highways yielded 30.1 mpg. My Z4 is equipped with the Navigation System and On-board computer, so the mileage reading was exact. Average speed was about 56 MPH with jaunts up to 80 MPH staying with traffic (had to hold back..the Z4 wants to go!). The Z4 is solid as a rock, with no body vibration and sticks like glue to the road surfaces (rough and smooth alike). Also, I love the style and scalloped side panels. Somewhat reminiscent of the 50's and 60's early Corvettes. I love this baby!
