Blast

This little car is a real blast to dirve. I have owned 535s, a new M3, MGB, 442 and numerous fun cars, but none as much fun as this little ragtop. It gives you total feel of the road, which when bumpy perhaps too much. But once again it's a sweet ride. My Z is black with a tan top and while some are critical of the styling, I get lots of "I was admiring your car" and such. The 6 speed is smooth as silk and the 3.0 delivers pleanty of power. I can't wait to test drive the new M series. I can't recommend this car enough to anyone looking for a roadster.And your BMW dealer probably has a demo for you to check out before ordering. Thats what happened to me as a four test drive convinced me.

Long front end, so don't park into a curb. Tight and quick steering. Great acceleration with the smaller 2.5! Great braking. Fun Roadster!! Quick power top!

Z4 tires

Overall, the Z4 is a nice car. The problem is tha run flat tires. They have a tread wear rating of 140 which translates about 15,000 miles. It will cost in excess of $1,000 to replace them. They cannot be repaired if punctured and they cannot be found in stock at any Bridgestone dealer I know of and they can only be replaced by a run flat certified dealer. The tires are not warrented by BMW so you are pretty much on your on. A tire problem on the road will probably result in a delay of several days.All of this so BMW could leave off the spare.

I was sold on the Z4 with my test drive! I opted for the five-speed automatic, which has been a perfect choice for someone who wants to have fun, but doesn't want the hassle of a clutch, especially in traffic. It is quick, responsive, and takes corners better than our 2000 Porsche Cabriolet.

THE BEST CAR U CAN DRIVE BEATS MERCEDES CARS IN THE SAME AND OVER LIKE $20000 PRICE RANGE EASILY AND CAN EVEN COMPETE WITH A PORSCHE 911 BEATS ALL CARS FORM ITS CLASS AROUND $20000 ABOVE ITS PRICE RANGE!!!. THIS CAR IS SUPER FUN THE PRICE.COMES WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT IN A CAR! FORGET THE NISSAN 350Z or the HONDA S2000 OR THE MAZDA RX* AND SURELY FORGET THE MERCEDES BECAUSE THIS BEATS ALL OF THEM BY FAR!!!.
