Aw Yeah

Sold the Cooper S and amped up from 194 hp to 255 on this 3.0si and we definitely appreciate the increased horsepower. Initially test drove the 3.0 and were quite dissatisfied. Same engine in the 3.0si as in the 07 335si and it shows. Sports and Premium pkgs make this car all muscle and well worth going into a "Roadster" as opposed to a "Sedan" with muscle. The one touch automatic ragtop is absolutely great because it truly is engineered right--tucks in snug and perfect. What else would we expect from Bavaria? Exterior is solid and didn't change in 2007 - so pricewise we scooped up a waiting 2006. Great move. Very glad we did.

As good as it gets for under $50k

The new 3.0 engine in the si model is incredible. Massive amounts of smooth power, beautiful sound when pushed hard, and a hard to believe 25+ mpg when driven hard. What truly makes the Z4 3.0si great is how well everything works together. The 6-speed manual tranny is perfectly matched to the engines power curve, the brakes have a perfect feel and no fade, the handling with the sport package is race car like.

Exhilarating ride

I purchased my 2006 Z4 3.0si from a Eurocar dealer. On delivery the car had 50k miles, averaging less than 3.5k miles per year - a toy, seasonal car by most accounts, which was exactly why I bought it. I had shooed Mercedes SLK against the Z4 and liked it as well but couldn’t forego the trunk spade my Z4 provides me ( I have the soft top convertible). The cargo space affords me ability to run around town doing errands. Or a weekend getaway with 2 roller bags in tow and I’ve taken full advantage of that. Behind the wheel I cannot say enough about this car. It is a total blast to drive. The 5 speed automatic allows for a tiptronic shift experience without the clutch of a manual. Moreover - my model has the sport mode and let me tell You when I enable it the car goes immediately into beast mode! Not only does it take off like a jackrabbit but the suspension forms up demonstrating the cars will and spirit for the road. Aesthetically the car is beyond beautiful. I turn heads and get compliments wherever I drive. The long bonnet on the Z4 is truly a unique design element and it’s immediately recognizable. Comfort wise my model has all the bells and whistles. But what I love most is the simplicity of the dash and ergonomic layout. BMW designed this car to empower the driver to experience the car in every facet. I was able to add on an OEM blue tooth module to enable my iPod to sync with BMWs hands free system. Prior to 2007 blue tooth connection to stream audio / mp3 was not available but I’m satisfied with the after market solution which allow me to enjoy whatever music fuels my driving soul. that given day. The speaker system in the car rocks! As far as ride comfort. It is a BMW so it is on the stiffer side. But if you enjoy the thrill of driving and connecting with the road and your car, a Z4 3.0si is for you. I hope to have many years ahead in this stellar automobile.

Red Hot and Fun

I now just turned 1000 miles on this car. The sound of the straight 6 is so sweet. The motor pulls so nicely downshifting is not required to pass. I ordered with the sport supension love the wheels but hate the way the car jumps from rut to rut on the freeway the dealer told me thats caused by the low profile tires. The mileage is great, love the power top passed on the M sports seat way too tight.

I have always been a corvette lover, but the Z4 took my heart away. Incredible handling, acceleration. The sport package in my opinion is a must to truly appeciate the driving experience of a Z4.

Dreamed of owning one of these for a long time. Finally traded my Jeep Wrangler for this certified used Z4. What an incredible automobile. Handles like a dream and I'm stared at and asked about it 24/7. Handling, fuel economy, and styling is like no other.

3.0 si is the best BMW ever

The new BMW Z4 3.0si is a huge improvement over the last Z4. I just traded my 2003 3.0i. The Sport suspension and 18 inch wheels are fantastic, as is the new engine. Absolutely fantastic- I am driving with a grin, finding excuses to drive. Great car.

The Z4 3.0i is a blast to drive. Find a road with a lot of curves and I’m like a teenager again.

The faster I go the better it holds the road. The torque is awesome. I love the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The exhaust sound really makes you feel exhilarated.
