BMW Z4 3.0 Roadster

"Fahrvergnügen", the BMW motto of the "joy to drive" is something I´ve been experiencing for quite a while: being a longtime Beemer owner - six years spent in a 530i and as of today nine years in the 740iA - I kept close watch on everything that left Bavarian factories with the distinct blue and white propeller logo. Years back I used to switch my Volkswagen Golf and Scirocco GTIs every three years, the 530i had already been driven for six years and the 740iA will probably survive me with its still mint condition. So what is all the fuss about getting a second car that I do not really need as ... more

The Zed 4 is definitely a different looking vehicle to the other BMWs that have come from their factory. I could talk a lot about numbers like the speed from 0 to 60, quarter mile or top speed, but its what BMW delivers to me as a package that counts. This car has great balance, great feel and overall its a pretty good damn motor. Whenever I look at the styling of any BMW, I always have to hot-step to the front first, and find the "beamer" signature "twin kidney grills" to feel at home with the brand. But let me tell you...this car has great attributes. For example I like the squareness of the ... more

Dynamically the Z4 is almost too good - the grip reserves are so high that it requires serious velocities to really wake the chassis up. Standard traction control keeps everything in line, but with this turned off you need to be quick and accurate to catch the Z4 when it does start to slide. You can choose between five different engines with the roadster. All are petrol, and even the most basic 2.0 litre version gives strong performance - although the smooth-revving, zingy 3 litre is the pick of the bunch. At the top of the range the M-Coupe and M-Roadster are fast but expensive for what they ... more

Wll its been a mixed year for me and the Zed. We have had miles of fun and miles of smiles. However there have been a few nigles with it,to start with a few weeks after delivery it developed an alarm problem, some sensor was triggering for no reason, Main dealer had to knock off the total alarm and imobilisor system for 8 weeks while a new part was found...8 WEEKS running around the country, parking it up and not knowing wheather it will be there or not when I return, I wonder what my insurers would have said if it did get lifted by some scrout with a hoodie and baggy jeans. But other than ... more

A fast sleek car with great interior. You have the ability to custimize it and enhance it. If you want to speed through the streets or draw attention this is the car for you. I personally think BMW has a great line of cars in general, and this is one of my any many of my friends favorites. I'll put it this way, if i could afford a BMW this would be the one to get. Compact, powerful, and comfortable. Although this car is not for a family of four it is comfortable and satisfying. Nothing can slow down this 6 speed convertible with simple german engineering. This car is Everything i would look ... more
