    The owner was just unlocking the car door and he saw me admiring it.
    He was so proud of it...he gave me a 5 minute tour!
    He let me sit in the driver seat...showed all the controls.
    I thanked him and we said good bye.

    I just bought a Z4 3.0i with only 70'000km on the clock last week to be picked up this weekend. Just what I have been looking for sporty with a great sound when you want to take it for a run but a quiet cruiser on the freeway. The car looked good back when it was released first but is still a stunner today especially the rear end. The Swiss alps are calling!! Love the video.

  • @av7062
    @av7062 Před 6 lety +19

    The Z4 is truly a classic. I have had an '03 3.0i Z4 and it is the the best 2 seater I have ever driven. It is more powerful than a stock miata or s2000 and lighter than the 350z. It also doesn't burn oil or break down nearly as much as the Audi TT. The engine is a bulletproof m54. The Achilles heel is the flimsy plastic DISA valve. You can replace the plastic part with a metal one and it is fairly easy to do. Other than that, keep up with regular fluid changes and some rubber hose replacements and you are done. This thing is truly a beast.

    After doing my research and watching all your z4 videos, I picked up an 06 3.0si with 50k miles two weeks ago. Love it. Thanks for all the information. The z4 is in very high demand here in the southeastern U.S. with the 60+ crowd. Prices are rising and zeds (06-08) under $13,000 are hard to come by. Nothing stays on the market for much more than a week.

    Great video.
    Nice to see someone who also enjoys the Z. To me it is one of the last true driving experiences from BMW. I sold my E92 M3 earlier this year because I needed to go reduce the number of cars in the garage. It was an easy choice. Drive the M3 to its potential and the local constabulary are waiting. In the Z4, they wave and smile - it is so much fn to drive at legal speeds.
    I have had a 2004 3.0 6 speedZ4 since new. I really enjoy the car. Replacing the steering wheel and shift knob with the M version - it is really nice.
    The cup holders are pants. I agree about the stock Bridgestone RFT tyres. I have Michelin Pilot Sport 18" and they are better but I do agree about going to non RFT.
    I am 6'1" and headroom is not a problem.
    In the boot I have room for a suitcase, briefcase and golf clubs.
    Tame driving on secondary roads yields 42 mpg.

    Great video. I’ve had my Z4 just over a year now & still love it just as much today as I did when I drove it for the 1st time!!
    Unfortunately my motor went on my roof recently however unlike some of the comments below you don’t actually need to take the whole roof off to access it, just slightly. Where it sits it fills with water so as you said it’s a common fault. I found a guy online who specialises in bmw roof issues (Alan from Bristol who advertises on gumtree & he was a legend) who replaced the motor & rehoused it in the boot (keeping it dry & easy to get to) for just over £300. Most garages charge £900+ so if you do start having issues there are easy ( and much cheaper) ways to fix if you do your research. Took 3 hours to sort & works perfectly again.

    Good informative video. I had a 2006 3.0si for several years (it sat over winter) and really enjoyed it. Sufficient power for me, loads of fun to drive. I didn’t have the oil consumption ‘problem’ but wholeheartedly agree with the tires and tracking on some road surfaces. I’m not a fan of the power steering, it feels too disconnected for a roadster. I wouldn’t hesitate buying another some day when garage space allows. Oh, go with the standard shift - a car like this needs to be shifted by the driver.

    Got a 09 plate 2.5L Z4, absolutely love it, pretty much agree with everything you said here especially the amount of oil it burns through, only difference with mine is a hard top electric roof means I have only half the boot space than a soft top due to the mechanism which does make mine rather impractical sometimes. Affordability really surprised me, never thought I would be able to afford something like this until I saw the prices they were going for. All in all, I completely love it for what it is and its cost. I'll be keeping mine for as long as I can.

    Very nice car Joel. While we mainly drive an Infiniti SUV; 9 months ago we also picked up a black low mileage 2008 Z4 3.0i with a 6-speed. It now only has 12,500 miles (just over 20,000 kms). We were quite fortunate to pick up this well maintained, garage kept Z4. In Southwest Florida, convertible tops are down all year around. Outstanding value and lots of fun as long as you have another vehicle for hauling people and groceries. It hard to find more car for the money. Keep making great videos...

    The oil consumption can be fixed by installing an oil catch can. Lots of videos and how tos on youtube. Ive done one on my 02 z3 coupe m54 3.0. Huge difference. NO oil consumption now.

I usually do my own oil changes but can on this one as i cant get a jack under it. Over all though, this car will be a favorite of anyone who enjoys driving. Its a pleasure to own and hasn't cost me much. its relatively cheap considering i owned 2 mustangs before. Im in love with my car and its a real looker.

So, there’s absolutely no problem for tall people with style. Go for it.

    I rent a 2006 Z4 when I had my vacation in Arizona. Love the seat and the handling. Though I found the frame between roof and windshield is a bit in the way of my horizon (might be the way how I sit or my height). I was silly to got stuck in sand when I visit the horse shoes bend, luckily two amazingly local people passing by and help me out. Back to the point, the acceleration is fantastic, get to 80mph like piece of cake. But the circulation of wind with the roof down is not perfect, you might notice quite amount of the wind come back into the cabin. The fuel consumption is very traditional and overall I like it but would not buy one for myself personally. I just got a X1 instead.

    • @itsjoel
      @itsjoel  Před 5 lety
