This car is for you. So much fun. Decent gas mileage. Since the car is a 2009, I would hope they improved on the Navigation system. It leaves a lot to be desired. I also went through three struts and they are very expensive. The hard top/convertible is amazing. 20 seconds and I have a convertible with a push of a button. Manual shift is great. You are really driving a car!!!

BMW Z4 instant classic

Having loved my first roadster, a 2000 Z3 I was disappointed by the style changes with the first Z4. The 2009 Z4 brings back the beautiful lines with several improvements. The car fits like a glove, handles with incredible accuracy, and for the most part gives you the best of both a convertible and a comfortable sedan. This is my third roadster (also 2003 Boxster). Car came with sport shift paddles (I still don't get). Would have preferred a manual. The 3.0 automatic had plenty of power to match my driving style and I actually preferred to the 3.5. Bottom line, this is a gorgeous car that is a blast to drive.

I traded in a 2005 Z4 and there is no comparison, also own a Miata which is a toy. This car is great for highway driving as well as running around country roads in the sports mode. This car is much more civilized then the much touted Porsche boxter. I could have purchased the Porsche for the same money to me there was no contest. This car is totally redesigned. Wherever i go people stare at this beautiful machine. I love to drive it.

This Car Is Special

BMW put it all together for the 2011 Z4 350i. The engine is quick, smooth and zips along joyfully at all RPM levels, handles like a dream, and with the hard top up or down looks like the classy rode of a driver with high standards. Maintenance, of course, is pricey, and use the convertible carefully and sparingly, as the inner workings can be delicate and require heavy labor hours to investigate and repair. This is a car that requires a lot of its owner but gives a lot back - the pinnacle of turbo-charged two seaters. I feel privileged to own one.
