I’d be disliking the fact you got the crap automatic version more than anything.
Nothing wrong with the ZF auto box - its a great box.
Oh dear ….clearly an uninformed opinion…
@@markpass4215 who would want a slush box in an entry level sports car!?
I agree with some of the reasons, but some of your dislikes are just against sports cars in general
Sounds to me like you bought the wrong car. It’s a shame to have so many things you dislike but poor rear view, long hood, stiff suspension…really?
Absolutely beautiful video mate, I think your channel is going to get very big soon. I also have a Z4 but a roadster 3.0i, its my favorite car of all time.
Thanks for the kind words. We have great cars
@@DrewZ4 We do indeed! Keep doing these amazing vids mate! 🤝
Awesome video, awesome car. I usually lean towards black paint jobs but your white Z4 is very nice! I love my N52B30, made a video last week with the sound. Keep rockin’
I used to not like black but ive grown to actually like it a lot. Thanks for the love, will check yours out. And I also love my N52
ventilation settings are proportional ... but you SHOULD know that ;) -- way more sophisticated than all or nothing ...
One of my best upgrades on my coupe was the angel eyes from a company called 2xcite with a LED power pack really does turn from night in today and you have the effect of the angel eyes, which can be seen in the day 👍🏾
Ahhh, is it a whole new headlight assembly or a modification to the stock headlight assembly?
I just brought a 04’ roadster, and I agree with the cheap plastic feel inside the car. They are not built the same as the older bimmers, but then again the older ones had quality problems as well. That’s just one of the trade offs from owning a BMW vs let say a Toyota for example. My roady is only a weekend toy that sits in the garage, so it will stay preserved.
Love the structure, content, filming, and organisational set up. You should consider doing this on a regular basis. However, it sounds like you are not really into sports cars (cheap or not). Keep up the good work!!
As for the rear view mirror. You have two perfect options to fix this. One is a dash mounted rear view mirror which i think goes great on small sports cars. The other is your choice of any one of the countless lcd screen reverse camera options available.
I tend not to suffer depression but I do now after listening to this 🙄
🤣😂
Ok I agree with ten out of thirteen, my biggest frustration is the water on the rear hatch and where the hell is the front of the car. Other than that what a beauty.
Which did you disagree with?
Thank you!
Agree, except I'm thinking the electronic boot (trunk) is more for the roadster. As of its light enough it opens itself. Like the struts on the bonnet (hood) assist. It's annoying that the boot release on the key fob is pretty much useless. Unless... You retrofit some self opening ties to that button... I've thought about it.
The boot doesn't open by itself on the roadster.
My pet hate is hazards by the hand brake. (E-brake in America?) Does anyone else catch it when they release the ?brake?
Totally agree with #9! Honestly, I love the look of the interior, including the HVAC dials, it looks distinctive. Only the E89 is better imo. The cheap feel never bothered me 😂
I agree, I do like the classic simple look of the interior and the E89 interior has a more modern timeless beauty to it.
Do you know the value of 50 50 weight bias?
Long hood !
100% agree on adding mirror position to memory settings. Would be a fantastic feature. BTW, I do own a 2007n E86 ... I speak from practical knowledge.
if you move the mirror onto the dash .you’ll get a better view up front and the rear . also put 17” wheels on . more rubber is better on normal roads
Wood trim cracked all over on mine, it was a absolute pain in the ass to replace. I love the wood dash alot. now two years later the plastic around the shifter trim cracked.. Mind you it is garaged and sees no drastic temp changes.
Wow I wonder how that happened. Hope that doesn't happen any time soon to me.
You've raised some pertinent issues for which I am very grateful for. there are some very obvious design flaws with the Z4 to be considered B4 purchasing one. thank you!
what a great car
All this nit picking and you’re ok with that dingleberry on your antenna? 😂😂 haha thanks for the video and enjoy the cool car!
Haha thanks I will! And that's not a dingleberry, that's a SPACE RANGER! 😂🤣
Very honest reflection of some of the not so good elements of the Z4 design and build.
I also own a white coupe, a 2009 3.0 Si, and the steering for me is the hardest to get my head around. If it was great it wouldn’t play on my mind so much but it just doesn’t feel natural. Still love the car and share similar dislikes. It would have been interesting if they kept making a coupe and how they could have evolved it. Maybe it will reappear but the styling of these will always be hard to too!
Love my car too. Glad you have some similar thoughts
Get the GPS version car, put in aftermarket unit and front and rear cameras.
Ride quality is due to your run flat tires. After that, change the dampers to monotube digressive valve such as MeisterR
I have already changed out the run flats and that definitely helped. Suspension will be next
From the side profile this car really does look a lot like the Supra…. And that’s not a bad thing
You forgot to mention the automatic transmission
🤣
Rear view mirror can be swapped from other BMWs.
Though the M doesn't have the vague steering, you don't have the shocking 1 to 2nd gear change! Great vid.
Hope to experience that one day 🥲
I have the M. 1st to 2nd isn't "shocking"! Sure it's a very mechanical feel, which gets smoother when warm, but shocking? Must something wrong with yours?
The M has hydraulic power steering, all the others have electronic ps.
There are some guys that swapped it but it's a lot of parts and it aint' cheap.
I've had two 3.0Si Coupes and now have an MC.
To be fair I think the biggest issues with your car are that it is white, has an Autobox and wood trim. :laugh:
And the reflectors do it no favours - UK Ms don't have any thankfully and also have HPAS plus no run-flats!
But any E86 is a great car.
I'm working my way up to how you are living 🙂
paint the red reflector white and add an invisi red reflector strip anywhere you like
Good suggestion 👍
@@DrewZ4 thanks!
4:30: Tihs is why the car is only made for rough riders.
The rear view "mirror" is not your issue -- it's the shape of the roofline - the mirror works just fine.
Lol true true
Agree on the wood trim. Awfull!
The bird bath and the really poor headlights - that's all I dislike on mine... The rest of it just makes the car what it is!
Hatch release? Really? Even more nit-picky than the ventilation adjustment settings ...
Yup! I definitely said this was nitpicky in the beginning.
That last point is a good one, is did not realise that with a long hood
Naw naw naw. 13 is completely wrong. It should be "no one else can drive our car".
Hahaha, but that's how I convince others to get one too.
no mention of the speedo for ants?
Haha yea, I got used to it.
Obviously not a discerning driver. My m coup has all those issues and more. But is the most joyous car I've owned
Hoping to own one of those one day🙏
I like how the vid has 13 dislikes
keeps getting more. this kid is damn af.
you need to balance the argument with things you like. Probably agree with all your dislikes but it is still a great looking car.
I agree. That video should be coming soon
Maybe z4 is not for you
I agree on all points.
Make it 14, because that’s an automatic...
i love it in white. I agree with the wood trim...its the worst to look at.
😥...🤣
As a western european driver I can only comment that this car is European! So all the driving and handling issues, thats the whole key of this car. You cant expect BMW sports car handling with the comfort of French Citroen suspension. If you want a practicle car take the Carolla. Everything you say for a fact is correct, dont get me wrong, just if you buy a tiger dont expect a kittykat. So if you cant park or drive a car, dont blame the car.
As for the water and cosmetic issues, thats a big shame on BMW. The German brand should not compromise on this or even bring cars into the market wirh design flaws (mirror and water).
I drove a Camaro and a Mustang in Europe. Not my kind of car. I love the power and rough handling. But they are so NOT suffisticated. so rough, so forgiving, so far away from feeling the road. I mention this cause its probably the same issue just other side of the ocean. Its not made for this asfalt and mentallity.
I guess its the typical US approach vs the European approach.
I love the review. really really cool. And for the OCD, im totally with you there !!
It is true everything you said I have a z4 and the truth is a car that is nice to see but it is not beautiful to drive it is uncomfortable you do not have good vision the steering of the steering wheel is the worst I have ever had and the interiors are very very cheap, excellent video
Wow, sounds like you bought the wrong car for you. This is a 15+ year old sports car design. Compromise is part of the design brief! Get an SUV if that annoys you. If you think the ride is harsh, don't ever get in an M Coupe! Unless you're out of the city on some deserted winding roads, that is.... Then you'll never want a non-M again. Hard, raw, connected, fast... everything an M car should be. Steering feel in spades from the M3CSL hydraulic rack, and brakes from the CSL too. The S54 engine with ITBs noise!! BMW M differential. Its no daily driver, it'd drive you nuts city commuting, but that's not what it was designed for. Horses for courses. Decide what course you're on...the M would make you forget about items 1 to 13! 😉👍
My course is to own the M one day lol 👍
@@DrewZ4 don't wait too long, they're going up already but that's going to change rapidly over the next couple of years when people wake up to its unique combination of qualities, lost forever. And it's very rare. A sure winner!
I like your car, like the shots you did with the video, but I do not agree with you .. Cheers..
🍻
amended. I do not agree with everything :). I think they made a lot of parts light weight so they feel cheap. keep up the great channel!!!
I really like the light wood trim , very classic.
Sexy car 😅❤🎉

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
Finsh would have been better if built in Europe.....😂😂
