Beats all other small convertibles. I tried Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Mercedes, Fiat, MGB, VW, and so on. I also own a 528i, but I'm not biased at all. If it is a great car, I say so. This is a phenomenal car. I work on it myself, but really, nothing has gone wrong...except the motor for the top. The design is such that water backs up (from clogged drainage holes) with debris and floods the top's electric motor. Water vs electrical component? Water will be the destroyer of every pump, every time. BMW knows, now, that this is a poor design. I relocated my pump, after replacement, into the trunk. Viola! Never another problem. In spite of this, this car is unmatched in fun, performance, handling, and coolness. I am going to buy another one so I can have 2! I want a 2.5 for comparison. These cars are that good! Just test drive one. You will be a believer and find a way to get one. Mark my words. Enjoy, and be safe.

I've had my Z4 for 5 years after owning a Z3 for 12 years. Ultimate driving machine is a great name for these cars.

This car is beautiful!! Very sexy and sleek. Just looking at it, it drips of performance and wants to go fast. That's the only positive things I have to say about it and why I have kept it but am considering moving on. The car seems to have one malfunction after another with no end in sight. To list a few of the more recent issues that needed to be fixed: Convertible top motor, all abs sensors, new starter and new coolent reservoir. Add the regular maintenance cost such as breaks, tires and other miscellaneous things that just need to replaced and be ready to fork out some serious $$$! This is my second German car and all I have to say is, "So much for German engineering!"

just simply a Fun, fast, unique car! i just bought a white 04 z4 with red leather and couldn't be happier! drove a TT for years, loved it, but like the z4 much better because of comfort and exterior design. interior isn't as fancy as i would like, but who needs a GPS when your having fun getting lost driving around! very low to ground, makes for a little awkward "in and out" ... but who cares! gets tons of compliments, looks amazing from all sides. you don't see these cars all over the place which makes them even more unique. great around corners, i live in pacific northwest, and wet windy roads are super fun! ... nice and quiet with top up!

A great car even after 6 Years

So I bought a 2004 Z4 with 17K miles on it a moth ago. Drove it from Pittsburgh to Chicago to get it home and it was a blast! Wow! This car is comfy, roomy, powerful, reliable, and fun! The 2.5 has quite the power and I can't really notice a difference vs. the 3.0. What more can you ask for? The prices are very competitive these days for a pre-owned. I test drove a Z3 10 years ago and hated it so I bought a MR2 Spyder. This vehicle tops them both by far. Fairly quiet with the top up, especially for a convertible. and you can't really feel the wind too bad when its down.

Very Impressive Indeed!

Just bought a 2004 Z4 with 17K miles and this vehicle drives very impressively. I drove the vehicle home 600 miles and it was very comfortable, handled nicely, and was just a blast to drive. This is my first BMW. In the past I've owned a 2000 MR2 Spyder and this Z4 tops it by far. Great trunk space, powerful motor, roomy interior. I really think I can drive this vehicle everyday if I wanted to.

This car is excellent in every way. I've had other roadsters, but this one is the best without exception. I think it will survive to become a valued collector car in a few years.

What a snow ride

I had this 2004 Z4 3.0 for the last 4 years. Silver titanium. It is impressive, I love it very much. Drove it all year around in Detroit and Minneapolis. This car is great on snow with the right tires. It is fun to drive. I test drove the SL55 AMG as my next car possibly. Let me tell you, I have to think twice now. Z4 is even more than what we may think. It has been difficult to choose something else after you drive this car. Most likely it will be SL55 AMG though for me tough decision to move from the Z4 even after more than 4 years driving it all year around. Never drove a car for that long. Go get one don't even think twice about Z4. :)

Fun and practicality in one package

I bought this car as a CPO with 13,000 miles on it. I have not been disappointed at all. Living in Southern California, this car does it all for me, from running to the grocery store to taking it for a run in the mountains. This is not a weekend toy for me; I use it regularly. I drove this car cross-country and was pleasantly surprised by comfort level it gave me on a 6000 mile trip. Its performance is excellent; it sticks to a mountain road like glue even on wet/icy pavement. I have every option but the nav system; the power driver's seat definitely ups the comfort level. I definitely recommend the 6 speed manual; it's a pain sometimes in LA traffic, but worth it overall.

Great Weekend Toy

Great toy for the weekends. Never even a warranty item. Corners great. I have the SMG package which takes getting use to. Boxster S killer and Porsche owners always hate to loose! Drawbacks, cup holders are useless but necessary to have drinks in the Florida heat. This is a sports car and a bumpy sports car ride with stiff seats. Anything past a couple hours it hard on the butt.

What a fantasic roadster, much better than the Z3, test drove the TT and Boxster. It's simply better than anything in its class.

Fun, fun, fun - but a bit impractical

Performance: 5 Comfort: 4 Fuel Economy: 4 Fun To Drive: 5 Interior Design: 4 Exterior Design: 5 Build Quality: 5 Reliability: 4 Comfort Rating: 4 Performance Rating: 5 Interior Rating: 4 Reliability Rating: 4

Let's face it. People buy cars like this for their fun factor, and perhaps for their "cool" factor as well. The Z4 does a bang-up job of providing both while delivering upwards of 25 mpg. It's a bit of a chore getting in and out, especially for a 6'2" guy like me, but once you're inside it's surprisingly roomy if you lower the seats all the way. The power convertible top works perfectly, and the interior is gorgeous. The ride is stiff, but the car runs and handles fantastically. My only complaint: you have to be careful when parking or you'll scrape the underside of the front cowling.

Z is good for me

I got this car when I finally could afford one and wow it did not disappoint. I got the SMG based transmission and that thing is a total blast. I love the car so much that I am leasing a new 07 Z4 3.0si starting in 2 days! My only gripe is that the Z series is always behind in cool technology that the 3 series has. No siruis radio. Pathetic. It's a very small gripe on a kickin' car!

This thing is sleek, corners well, good turning radius, punchy 0-60 for the amount of money spent, the stereo system is decent for a stock set-up. A little awkward getting out of the vehicle but this is nothing new for a sporty vehicle / roadster. All in all it's a great car!

Really have enjoyed the Z4. Lightweight but feels rock solid on the road. Outstanding handling, steering feedback. Acceleration is very good, though of course I always want more. Very firm ride, can border on jarring on bad roads, but much better than M3 convertible. Actually very comfortable for distances on reasonable smooth roads. Only significant complaint pertains to most of BMW lineup: runflat tires. They are more firm, don't help performance, are stocked by very few local shops, and are VERY expensive. Cheapest local quote: >$1,000 for 2 tires w/ installation. Ordered from Tirerack.com but even then was >$700 w/ installation. Not great given many folks had treadlife issues.

Ok, really... this car gets more looks than YouTube. Every place I go/park, someone comments on it. And, it's all positive, and I couldn't agree more! This is one fun car to drive/have. Come on, face it... it's not a practical car but who cares! If you want practical, buy a sedan. This car reeks of attitude, confidence and carefree fun! Buy it, drive it, baby it, love it... it is well worth it!

This car is great. It is the most fun someone can have driving. Pop the car into sport mode and you're gone. The car moves with a single touch, there is no lag what so ever. The only negatives are its small size (but you already know that) though a spacious trunk for the size of car, and the car isn't the most comfortable thing for trips longer than 2 hours. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a fun car. It is not the best family car but strap in and hit some open road and try not to smile. You can't help but love it.

The Z4 drives and handles as excellent as it looks. The controls and cockpit are well appointed, roomy, comfortable, and everything at your finger tips. The cargo area will hold a 22" travel bag with room for two small duffles or two small golf bags. All in all the Z4 is the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Hi, I am full time mom, have a "minivan" because I have 3 kids + few friends to lug around. But buying Z4 was exactly what I was looking for. It is reliable, handles beautifully and looks very hot. Gas mileage is excellent and I can take one of the kids at a time to have a good conversation going... weekends to enjoy with my husband. He has porsche for his weekend car but somehow we always end up driving mine (wonder why? :-)). The size of the trunk is perfect for one good food store shopping or to fit all my stuff for cool weekend. As I said,"It's all I was looking for!"

Excellent handling very responsive. Classic design. Trunk will fit two soft bag golf clubs. Love the power top. Seat adjustment is superb over my ex '99 corvette. I am able to stand when exiting the car rather than rolling out of it with the corvette. Very quiet ride with the top up and with the windscreen in place with the top down. Quality craftsmanship both in the exterior and interior desgn. After all, it is the ultimate driving machine.

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.

Z - one for me!!!

After owning MGs, Eclipses, and Triumphs, I finally found the one true sports car that "fits". It is reliable, handles like a dream and is truly beautiful to view. I get excellent gas mileage and have the pickup and speed to feel confident, even in the worst traffic. The 3 cubic feet of trunk is enough for my wife and myself to go on weekend trips and she can take ALL her stuff!!! All in all it absolutely meets my needs.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this car. This is the first manual transmission I have ever even tried to drive and after owning this BMW Z4 I will never drive an automatic ever again. Besides the fact that it has superior craftsmanship, great styling, and is a blast to drive I get great gas mileage that really helps with the rise of prices at the pump. My next car will definitely be a BMW!

I really love driving this car, it handles like a dream in the sport mode. I really like to shift it with the steptronic transmission, it shifts very smooth. I also like the easy to read gauges at night, the orange dash lights are just cool. I have all the options and packages you can get with this car except for the navigation. I also want Sirius radio which I can get but the trunk mounted antenna just don't work for me. It's a little hard getting in and out of because it is low to the ground but onced you're in and settled you can for hours with the top down and the windscreen in place.

Originally got this for my wife. I'm stealing it from her and getting her a 5 series. I still don't understand why the styling is "controversial"...I get more approving stares and chatter about this car than I ever thought possible. We have the 3.0 with the Sport Pkg. Ride is firm for sure, but it's such a go-kart when it comes to the twisties...love it. Gets great mileage for something that's so fast.

This is my first roadster ever and I love it! Most verts Ive driven have lots of body shake and feel like they are falling apart. This car is TIGHT! No shakes over the roughest of roads. The performance is top notch. The handling is incredible. I try my hardest to get the rearend to fishtail in safe settings....cant do it! The interior is very teutonic, very German, very luxurious....top notch.

This is truly the Ultimate Driving Machine. I have an SMG transmission which allows you to shift manually with automatic clutching. I have the control of the manual with no clutching hassles! With the Sports mode on, the car gives an amazing feel. The engine sound and in the gut acceleration really gets the juices flowing. The steering is responsive and the suspension tight; this is not a touring sedan. I test drove the Z3 before buying this, and this car feels and drive very differently. It is a lot more powerful and "manly". When I look at it from the front it reminds of a shark & the Z4 rules the road like one. BMW leases are not expensive; get a Z4. Money well spent.

I fell in love with this car at the dealer. It was love at first sight. I went to look at the practical 330xi. I had a 5 series for my last 2 cars and thought I wanted the sporty 3 series with all wheel drive for the mountains of NC. I saw the Z4 and had visions of a jet fighter. It just looks so awesome to me. Well the test drive was even more impresive, I had to have one. The car is so great that we drove it to key west on our vacation rather than flying. It was so cool.

This is a fantastic little rocket! It goes fast and stops quickly. The steering takes practice - Occasionally when driving over uneven road surfaces the car will pull left or right. So, it's best to keep a tight grip on this "race ready" cat. That will keep it from going astray.

I bought the Z4 as what seemed like a natural upgrade from my Z3. I paid a premium to own this car, based on it's stellar styling and improvements, such as the fully auto top and glass rear window. However after owning it for the first 6 months, it began to annoy me to no end. It's horribly uncomfortable. From the unsupportive seats, the exaggerated door interior door handles that chafe my left leg every time I shift, to the un-adjustable seat belt that chokes me every time I drive. Plus the 1/4' inch clearance from the dash to my right knee, and I'm only 6'1! Add an ultra-harsh ride, and I feel like I'm in a torture chamber each time I get in. I wish I had kept the z3.

Have had the car 6 mobnths and love it more every time i drive it. Heads turn and I continually get tons of compliments. Currently, I avaerage 24 MPG, not bad for a sports car! The dealership has been very accomodating for appointments and any repairs. I took the car on a 600 mile trip and was able to pack the trunk with 3 duffle bags, and a lot of other things. I was amazed how much the trunk held. I highly reccommend this car! It's wonderful!

I bought my car brand new with 6 miles on it. Ive had it a year and has 11,000 miles on it now. I had to bring it to the show 8 times. The instrument cluster needed replacing twice. The passenger side power seat went out. The gas cap lid cover fell off at the gas station. The passenger side window fell out. The dealer would not take it back. BMW America would not do anything, but they "made a note of it" In 2003, the domestic cars had less complaints then the european cars. Makes you wonder why. I should have bought a cadallac.

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.

Great fun car. Automatic roof is great. Smooth acceleration, nice cruising (though the engine revs a little fast on the highway). I have driven it over 500 miles in a day and was comfortable (6'1", 230). I took a db meter on my test drive, and with the top up it was just a few db higher than my Acura RL.

Absolutely the coolest car to drive. I love the styling and handling, the power and the smooth ride (for the size). I've thrown friends that are 6'3" and 250 lbs in this to drive it and they fit! It truely holds two sets of golf clubs (standard carry bags). Sports package and the 3.0 were perfect upgrades. The big suprise was the gas mileage, about 26 MPG. My 04' Durango gets about half what this does. The only bad thing about driving this vehicle is that you can't see it from the outside when you're behind the wheel.

I live in Philly so in the garage it stays for the winter. If I can't put the top down I'm not drivin it. There is nothing like putting the top down on a cool crisp night and watching the stars roll by as you criuse down the highway.You may not be sold on it's looks but spend some quality time behind the wheel of this puppy and you might just change your tune.It handles like a dream and trust me there's more then enough power to get you into trouble.If you are in the market for a car do yourself a favor and at least take a Z4 for a test drive. You won't regret it!

Locked on cruise control at 125 MPH for 400 miles (Omaha, NE to Fargo, ND). Stopped once for gas and slowed down three times for cops, but made the trip in just under four hours. I don't know how many Z4's were manufactured worldwide for 2003, but I suspect that people will collect these cars 20 years from now.

Although many must disagree, I love the look and handling of this car. It's got plenty of power, as opposed to the jaguar and mercedes convertibles i previously owned. The new lines make it unique. The lack of the idrive makes it the only BMW I have any interest in driving, since I am not a nuclear engineer or software designer, which I assume is a requirement to be able to understand the idrive.

This is a FUN FUN FUN car to drive. The 3.0 engine with the SMG transmission is even more FUN. I truely am enjoying this car and appreciate all the complements on its good looks. I chose the metalic black with red seats and electric top. The Z4 looks fast even standing still. I'm 6'2" and fit very comfortably. The sound system is excellent as is the exhaust system. There is a lot I like about this car and spend a lot of quality time in it. It's not something you see all around town.

The handling and performance is terrific and you have the reputation and retention value that only BMW can provide. Throw in the free service and maintenance during the warranty period and I am a happy, first- time owner of a BMW, albeit with classic mid-life crisis symptoms.

They did everything possible to make this purchase enjoyable. Once you drive this car everything else just doesn't measure up. The best part about driving this car is to drive it in the mountains or along the coastal highways.

This car (black exterior, tan interior, manual, heated seats, convenience, premium) is fantastic. I love the looks of it as does everyone who sees it (I have never seen group of men gather around a Boxter), it regularly attracts crowds. The interior is simple and functional, at 6 foot 2 inches I have plenty of room inside. The engine sound is deep and throaty, it actually gets deliberately transmitted into the seating area. The turning circle is amazingly tight. Steering can be a little jittery on an uneven road surface, but otherwise the car just grips the road around corners. Useable trunk for a small car. Feels smooth at 114 mph, I'm to scared to go faster!

Ironically, that combination is not an option on the BMW web sight. Pleasure to drive, great handling. Love the heated seats,power top,6 speed & 10 speaker stereo. Cup holders are weak-lousy design. Soda cans/cups- condensation drips into elect. window siwtch-not good. Could use a few more ponies 250-275 bhp would be better. Overall very satisified, and would highly recommend.

I recently bought a 2004 Z4, having previously owned a 2001 Z3. The Z4 is a great improvement and is truly a luxury roadster. The automatic top is a breeze to put up and down with it's one button operation. The climate control is like what I am used to on a luxury auto. And the trunk has almost twice the room that I had with my Z3. The interior also seems to be roomier. It's also nice to have a remote door/trunk opener which I did not have on my Z3. While some of the industry analysts have been critical of the exterior design, most people I know use the words "awesome" or "cool" to describe the Z4 whereas the word "cute" seemed to go along with the

had the car for 4 months now and I still love driving it like I had it the first day. It is quick off the line, and glues to the pavement around corners. I've looked into the Porche BoxterS and Mercedes SLK320 and I think this is the best buy of the bunch. The 18 inch wheel and stiff suspension may make the ride a bit rough, but it is a small compromise given the overall quality.

This is an awesome car. The Z4 3.0 is fast and fun to drive. It gets great gas mileage, I average 28 mpg. My Z4 is has the sport feature which really makes it get up and go. The GPS is terrific and easy to use. Heated seats are a nice feature, making driving at night with the top down comfortable and cozy. There is ample leg room. When driving and parking it is important to remember that the front is low to the ground and most of the car is in front of you. The front will hit the concrete parking stops and curbs if you are not careful. Overall, the Z4 3.0 is a blast to drive.

The best two-seater I have ever owned. Great acceleration, great grip, cornering is a pleasure, it is very safe and the drive is always controlled, the steering is unbelievable, it is very comfortable and it looks great. What else do you need from a sports car? On the downside, I have had several warranty issues, there were material flaws and the repair crews were not always familar with the car and with their own job (e.g. destroying things as they fixed others). Last, my 2 cents: get the SMG (semi- manual gearbox) if you can. It is the best shifting experience I have ever had and far superior to the other alternative of manual shifting.

This is my first convertible bought almost by accident. My mother Sue had one, thus the name. It is red and it is sweet. Just ask anyone passing by as I drive though. It's the only one in town! It handles quickly and smoothly, responding well on any kind of road in any kind of weather.I feel safe in it, enev though it is a convertible. It's size suits me- I rarely need to carry anyone.I don't worry about cargo space- it carries enough groceries home. With the top down I can put on a hat and drive the turnpike without effort. The sound system increases enough so that the wind is not a problem. I'd reccomend this car to any one who wants one and can afford it!

I owned the Z3 for 3 years and upgraded to the Z4 about a year ago. WOW says it all. BMW should pat themselves on the back for this one. The improvements on the interior from the Z3 to the Z4 are incredible and numerous. The exterior is the most obvious change, and that did take a little bit to grow on me - but I love it now. The handling, acceleration, braking, and response of the vehicle are fantastic - the sport button definetly gives it that extra "kick" when you need it. If you never owned a BMW or a roadster, I guarantee you will love it. If you are upgrading from the Z3, you will thank God you did. You will be amazed by all of the compliments you get.

the 2.5 model is fast enough to get the driver in trouble but the brakes are excellent; the styling sets this car apart. my problem is with the run flat tires which seem prone to go flat and are expensive; in 12000 miles i've had three flats; no one is sure about a cause

I drove this car to New Orleans right after I bought it. This car stopped traffic on Bourbob Street. People were gawking and taking pictures. When we pulled up to the hotel, people walked across the street to ask about the car. People coming out of the hotel stopped to ask about the car and look at it. I thought the doorman would never have a chance to unload our car. This car still causes a stir wherever I go! WOW!!

Fantastic car to drive lots of fun. Good road holding and comfortable. Z3 styling was much much better.

Can get you in trouble really quickly...

I used to own a Z3 2.5 - The differences between the two are night & day. Where the Z3 had a tendency to oversteer easily, this car just sticks. To explore the handling limits, you would have to drive it at a race track. Some people may not like the ride, however. (It can get a bit punishing at times, especially with the 18" wheels). Acceleration is very fast, you don't realize how much faster the 3.0 is until you drive one. The styling is a little strange at first, but it really does grow on you. Not only that, but I think the styling makes it stand out more. As for reliability, I haven't had a single problem.

This car is great fun and garners random compliments from strangers all the time. It's supposed to compete with the Boxster but the Z4 is way classier and better looking.

For a company to use "The Ultimate Driving Machine", they need to make the best car, and BMW does! This is my first, and I can't see myself driving anything else in the future. This Z4 makes even driving in LA traffic fun!

I love this car. Unbelievable value. Corners phenominally well. Very quick (3.0 is quicker but ?worth extra $7000). Great styling. The top is up and down, not latching, in 8-9 seconds. The top is also lined so the ride is quiet and feels like you're in a hard top when inside. An absolute pleasure to drive.

One great car

a lot more than one would expect with over-engineered everything...with a few add-ons, this baby will crank nearly 230 hp, runs around 6 in the qtr and tops 150+. Stylish, not cheap to operate (93 oct)but roads very nice.....

That's My Baby!

Almost bought a Boxster but the spaciousness and quality of the interior of the BMW sold me. The Boxster Interior reminded of an old Toyota. I wasn't sure I would like the BMW exterior but have to say it has grown on me and I am happy with the choice. I was looking for a car I could drive long distances comfortably and the BMW fills that need and provides rocket ship performance and handling

Z4

The Z4 is a true roadster yet offers comfort, convenience and luxury. Very quite for a convertible. Enough trunk space to actually "use" the car.

It is a awesome machine to drive! I love the way you can feel the road and cornering is unbelieveable! The power and acceleration is quick and responsive. A pleasure to drive!

Had a Z-3. Nice drive. Z-4 much better. Smoother, handles better, but very spry and responsive. The 2.51 has power enough, very quick. The thick soft top when closed creates a sport coupe like interior rather than a rag top like sound. Highly recommend this car for a fun peppy ride.

Love the car

This is the most agile and spirited car I have ever driven...and I've driven many. That includes the Honda S2000, which I thought was a poor second to the Z-4. I don't get the raves over the S2000. The cheapest looking interior I had ever seen. I'd have been embarased to have my friends in it. The engine my a touch faster, but the handling didn't even compare. I wonder about you editors every time you rate the S2000 so high. There is MUCH more to a car than just the engine. I'm a designer...the Z-4 has style, and the others all look alike.

Great Choice

I have personally owned a BMW for about 30 years. All that I have had have lasted me over 200,000 miles. They are an excellent car, thats starts up every time. My new Z4 is as smooth as ever with very little that I don't enjoy about it.

I love this car

suspension is a little stiff but once you get it on a nice smooth and curvey road you forget all about it. the smg is an awesome transmission, what kind of car dumps the clucht for you. I love it!

Nothing beat this in the it's class!

I had a chance to test drive all of the roadsters that I can afford(some I can't): SLK(unbelievably noise, rattle, and vague handling. it's not even concider as a relax crusier, it's feels like a boat.), Boxter (is good but too noise and aged styling), S2000 (fun, but not a good daily driver and too noise on the freeway.), Miata(good handling, but feels too light and lack of the sense of safty.)Z4 3.0 (unbeatable performace, but also some 9K more then my 2.5i). Call me cheap, but I don't think a 3.0i is worth 9000+ more then my perfectly balace and 99% as fun--- Z4 2.5i (5sp).
