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. Ive wanted a Z4 ever since they first came out. She is perfect in every way. She has plenty of truck space; its amazing how much you can really fit in there. Im averaging 25 MPG. Its everything and more you expect from the ultimate driving machine.

Former Z3 owner gets a Z4

It's my 2nd BMW Roadster, and all I can say is WOW! It's as if BMW read my mind. The Z3 is a FANTASTIC car, but it had its flaws: Plastic rear window, anemic stereo, squirrelly rear- end, too much body flex, etc. BMW listened and fixed EVERYTHING! I've had the car for a week (Z4 3.0, sport package, premium package, etc), and with each passing mile my smile only gets bigger. Overall, I'm in heaven. This car is as close to perfect as I can find. It's 11:00 at night and I just got back from another pointless run to the market for something I didn't need. Excuses to drive are easy to find. The car is just too sweet to let sit.

I recently had the opportunity to drive a z4 3.0 for a week this little thing is so responsive it almost feels a part of you...it corners like its on rails and the acceleration is AWESOME...either in auto or manual this little thing will gallop like nothing else....comfort was great, the GPS was awesome and stereo very impressive.Styling is unmatched!!! Very well built automobile!!!!! Get one if you can afford the $52,000 the model I drove was.....made me feel like a kid again.

I haven't looked for an excuse to drive my car since I sold my 1981 TR-8. The Z4 is like my TR-8 on steroids. This car is awesome. Fast Sleek and sticks to the tarmack like it is on a train track. Most all today's cars look pretty much the same. The first time I saw the 2003 Z4, I was hooked!

So far, I have had this vehicle for 2 weeks. Let me tell you, it is FUN. There is hardly a time that I do not have a big old grin on my face driving this down the road. The only bad part so far, is it has been raining here a lot, so I have only had a handful of Top-down days. But, I take advantage of those days and look forward to more!

A great car to drive and to maintain. Every feature is of high quality and reliable. The design is classic and will be as sought after twenty years from now just as the 50s Mercedes SL 190 is today. The SMG (semi-manual gearbox) adds substantially to the driving experience. The car is far superior to the Audi TT (the slowest roadster ever) and the SLK. Comparable are the Boxster S and the AMG SLK, but both are quite a bit more expensive. Thus BMW gives you the by far best deal for your money. As an advice, do not save on the extras and get as many as you can. You will appreciate it later and every time ou get into your roadster.

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.

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.

I'm in love with my Z4, its comfortable, fast, controllable, and elegant. I love seeing everyones jaws drop seeing me in it. Never have I had a car so nice. If you're thinking about getting a car, get a Z4 for the ultimate luxury sports car and an affordable price.

I was drawn to the Z4 because of it's bold exterior styling. I knew the engine, etc., would be everything you could expect from BMW. I found a sterling gray, with the luxury package and some other extras for 37K even. The car is a dream-- extremely responsive steering, and you're in total control with a standard transmission. The dynamic stability control has kicked in a few times, but I've never experienced the lightweight feeling in the rear wheels you find with some other convertibles. This car hugs the ground.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY Z4 AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE AUTO. I GIVE HIGH TO BMW FOR IT'S DESIGN EFFORTS AND BUILD QUALITY. THE DESIGN IMPRESSES ME MOST FOR IT'S EYE CATCHING LINES AND STANCE. IT IS VERY DIFFERNT IN SOME RESPECTS FROM OTHER AUTO THAT YOU SEE ON THE ROAD TODAY AND THAT IS WHAT APPEALED TO ME IN MY SELECTION PROCESSES.
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.

I traded a 2002 C5 on the 3.0l z4- everything but nav system. Big time driving fun with the 18" wheels, etc. A mini-van rear ended me at 20 mph-I did not get hurt. I had no frame damage or bags deploy and I had the car back in 10 days. Have that happen in your Miata, etc. and call me from the hospital. The critics may hate the style, but John Q. Public does not-extremely fun to drive so if it looked like a Checker cab why would I care? Only bitch-if you fail to turn gas cap two clicks, check engine will come on.

Purchased the BMW after test driving the Porsche and Benz convertibles. The Bmw is by far the better automobile. The BMW came with all options except the pop up dvd navigation system. Love the Z4! 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.

My major complaint is with the low front spoiler. It scrapes on any bump or steep driveway. Very poor design for the road. Also, should be able to start in sport mode and not have to switch it on every time.

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!

This car is just plain fun to drive. It has made my commute something I look forward to as I get in the car. Questions pop to mind like, Will I have a clear run through the onramp to really floor it? and How many waves will I get today? If you can afford to have only two seats and are ok with a big smile on your face when you drive, buy this car.

The car is fun to drive but I have had some issues with the powered Top. After 2 opennings, the Top broke on the left part.After 1 month, there was a noise in the motor. The seat belt of the passenger is making noise against the door when nobody use it. The Top does a small crispy noise when it is down.

I have had sport cars in the past, never this quality nor with this performance. Getting on to the freeway is a breeze now, getting over in the right lane to get off is the same. The handling is tight and the car just hugs the road in turns. The best part is how fun it is to drive. Everybody I know wants a ride, they want to drive it....not happening! I have too much fun driving it myself. Never in my 40 plus years have I ever had something I enjoyed driving as much as this! Sigh me mother of four and it's my turn!

I was the previous owner of a 96 Miata and then the 99 Miata. Going from the Miata to the Z4 was like going from a Ford sedan to a Cadillac! The Miata got the job done and well done at that, but the Z4 is incredible. It picks up where the Miata left off. The ride is incredibly smooth even at high speeds. The storage space in great compared to the Miata. A definite graduation.

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.

Very fun to drive. The edgy exterior style is wonderful. Interior is very spacious and comfortable. Major improvements over the Z3 include Run flat tires, which allow much bigger trunk space, thus making it a more practical car. In addition, the back window is glass, rather than plastic, which comes in most convertibles. The seats are much bigger, with much more leg/shoulder room than in any convertible I've seen. You need to drive with the top down on a cold day to appreciate the heated seats option. Power top is a must-have.Interior guage style has been redesigned. Sound system is simply incredible.

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.

This car makes every trip, even a run to the grocery store, a good time. Handling and acceleration are superb! The ride is what you'd expect in a BMW and a roadster - very firm, with an excellent sense of exactly where you are on the pavement. The interior is comfortable, although with the top up, a bit of effort is required to fold myself in. The exterior styling, which has been a subject of controversy, was love at first sight at our house!

I've had the car for a little over a month now and very happy I dicided to go with the Z-4. The horse-power is not bad for a 2.5 liter engine. I drive on Atlanta roads and as some of you may know, Atlanta is full of hilly and windy roads. Eight months of warm weather will make the soft top a joy for a good portion of the year. Love the fully auto top and smooth shifting 5-speed. After a couple of scrapes with the front spoiler, I finally adjusted to leaving more space pulling up to curbs. BMW is notorious for heavy brake dust and the crevise filled rims make it difficult to clean. Great car.

Performance, Speed, and Handling are all tightly integrated with a great user experience. As the road conditions became more demanding, I found that this car responded at each opportunity better than I anticipated. After driving this car for awhile, it struck me that BMW needs to market this machine in this way: "IT WILL TEACH YOU TO DRIVE"

I was shopping for a sports car and shortly after driving this car I fell in love with it. The handling is amazing and it's got some "get up and go". I will warn you, IT IS A HIGH MAINTENANCE VEHICLE. I bought it 4 months ago with 62k and have had to do 10x as much work as I ever did on my Toyota Tacoma in 2 years. Convertible top doesn't work, Tire sensors were malfunctioning, Turn signal went out, Windshield Wipers malfunctioned, can't jack it up because it is so low, inconvenient access to almost everything, chews up tires because negative camber is set at 3% stock (change to 2% at next alignment )...and still, I am planning to buy a 2009 Z4 because they are THAT FUN! Warning: Chick Magnet.
