Other BMW Z4 (2003 - 2008) models:

  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Not sure, flash git probably.

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

    They all really like it and like being driven around it it!

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I would probably not buy the same one as I like to change cars. I would easily consider the new Z4 in a few years as this one is ace!

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Probably somthing similar, 2 seater roadster, but with more power. Have to see what I can afford, but the new Z4 would be on the list of potential cars. probably wait for the M version to come out.

  • Buying experience

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Type of dealer you bought from?

    Franchise

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    What price did you pay?

    £17,900

    When did you buy the car?

    May 2009

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    I paid just under £18k for the car, which was half list price. Given the fact it has less than 4k on the clock and had only been owned by BMW I think it was a good deal.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    What was the dealer like?

    I used the BMW main dealer in Manchester and they were fantastic. Could not do enough for me. Would definetely go there again!

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It is by far the best car I have driven and goes and handles like no other roadster I have driven! The acceleration is immense and handling is great. I still can't believe the turn-in speeds that are achievable in this car!

    What's it like to park?

    It is relatively easy as it is so small. Worse thing for me is making sure the alloys dont get curbed. Rear parking sensors are okay but not necessary. Front is hard to judge.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    It has generally been fantastic in the first few months I have been driving it. Noticed a little bit of water in the boot a couple of days ago, but the garage is looking at it under warranty.

    What's most practical about your car?

    There is not much practical about it at all. Although, it will take two full sets of golf clubs in the boot...if you take one set out of the bag.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Love the M Pack, which is standard on the 3.0Si Sport. Those M seats make a massive difference. I have not got the bluetooth but may consider it and personally would prefer a slightly beefier stereo as the standard one can be quiet with the top down at motorway speeds.
