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!

I've had my Z4 for about a month now. Got all the options - Performance & Sport packages, Steptronic, heated seats. A little pricy, but lots of fun. The car drives extremely well and will behave as reserved as you want it to when in normal mode, but transforms into a real tiger when you push the Sports button or shift the Steptronic into sports drive. There is no comparison to the 2.5, which felt underpowered. It is a little bumpy with the 18" wheels, but not as bad as I had feared. Watch out for pot holes! It does not handle puddles very well (easily hydroplanes). It is a real eye-turner for young and old alike.

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!!!.
