BMW Z4 Roadster (2003 - 2008) 2.2i SE 2d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I'm clearly having a mid-life crisis.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

That I'm clearly having a mid-life crisis. Other than this, some of my mates like it even more than I do! There is only one person who genuinely doesn't like it. However, he's single, owns a Ford Ka, is a member of the Lotus owner's club and sells lightbulbs for a living so 'nuff said... ;)

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. It puts a smile on my face. It's also an adult's car in that it's reliable, comfortable enough, good soundproofing, has BMW reliability / quality and you can put shopping etc... in the boot. Most of all it puts a smile on my face.

What are you likely to buy next?

Who knows? I still have too much of a smile on my face from the Z4.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,995

When did you buy the car?

May 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

OK

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The missus and I don't have kids so wanted a nice, fun car that is reliable and comfortable enough to use as a daily commute and can do the shopping etc... With the 16 inch wheels, it's more comfortable than we expected (we expected to hate it) and it's great for everything.

What was the dealer like?

Very good salesperson, terrible aftercare

What's it like to drive?

Lovely feel

What's it like to park?

Easy as pie. The only thing easier would have been my wife's former Cinquecento.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Boot

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Smile on my face when I drive it
