My father used to own one, he bought it in 2013. In around 2016, it was constantly malfunctioning then my father stopped driving it and bought a suv. In around 2019/20 my father decided to sell it. Good old days, this car is basically my childhood, I was eager to visit my grandparents because I could have a ride on this beautiful BMW. It means a lot to me
I think the dashboard looks great. My first impression when I started looking for a Z4 was that the dashboard should have straighter lines....But the first time I sat in a Z4 ( also the 2nd time) I thought that the dashboard looked much better than on pictures. Now I have a Z4 e89...and I just love the dashboard.
i know it's got its flaws but i do love this car. i think the 28i is the sweetspot (good economy plenty fast enough) and the m-sport trim looks amazing, just have to get the adaptive suspension. but it looks so good in person, way more expensive than it does.
Hahaha! I love his reaction for the hood latch lol. I remembered he always complain about those things back in 2011 & 2012 reviews for some BMWs, it was hilarious.
z4 is all about her appearance, it's so elegant/gorgeous and incomparable with slk and tt tt looks like a toy car with the hard top down, and slk/slc looks like an entry level car and kinda cheap for driving experience there is no such big difference with her rivals
Both z4 35i and z4 35is come with the twin turbo engine with dct transmission. Video is incorrect in saying the z4 35is has a single turbo and that the z4 35i has a traditional automatic.
I can't see dropping 70k on this when I can get a C7 stingray, Boxster S or the M3 all fully loaded which are by far all better options bmw really needs to rethink their strategy with the Z4
Peter Costello M3 is irrelevant, because it's a cabrio, not a roadster. If you want a roadster why would you need a cabrio. Boxter looks gay. Although quality is above-sky-level. C7 doesn't have metal roof, so you can't use it in winter. But with its engine and looks it's probably most interesting rival out of three, if you ready to deal with its interior. I think most Z4 buyers's opinion is like mine.
That's because in cheap cars compromises have to be made, and that gives people things to complain about. In a high end car there usually isn't much you can complain about.
Hey cooley, the interior dash is shifted towards the driver. These are typical of sports cars. You do a better job reviewing economy family cars. Leave the sports cars to car and driver, top gear etc.. Just my humble opinion :)
Thanks for your quick informative review! Cooley-- I had a M3 and 325e when I was in high school time. I thought I may consider this roadster. But not after this review. Too expensia. Better off with a Miata and a gt3!
(referring to the car) "Let's see how well the family chromosomes are doing" ...personally I think it may have picked up an extra one somewhere along the way.
3:00 wow the germans suck with cup holders . in the center console, as in literaly IN the console thats what i do in my dads subaru loyale and thats from 88-94 then you got a lit a jar just for a place to set your soda, good god BMW get with the times!
Buying a car is one thing, maintaining a car another. I could buy a user Porsche 911 or older Ferrari V8. But I cannot (or don’t want to) pay for the annual maintenance with the specialists. My E89 35i (manual transmission as it should be) gets a standard maintenance ever year, too. Costs me almost nothing compared to the costs of top class sport cars. Just change the liquids at the Nissan (and you should always after overheating it)

6:54 that moment when a 65K+ BMW turns into a sub 30K Chevrolet lol
What can we expect from CNET doing a car review ?
The cockpit looks stunning! Nothing to complain about!
That engine is definitely still the Twin Turbo N54, and not the Twin Scroll N55 that Cooley describes in the video.
The dash is one of the reasons i bought one, its what sets it apart from the merc and boxter i tested.

This guy is very picky with this amazing car. What the hell is wrong with him!! The BMW Z4 cars are some of the best.
At 6:55 they switched over to the Chevrolet Cruze interior. WTF?
What the hell why did it switched to the chevy cruze interior I'm confused
+Lukas Dukes Why did they done do it? Ain't make no sense to me.
Great review, thank you so much!
i know it's got its flaws but i do love this car. i think the 28i is the sweetspot (good economy plenty fast enough) and the m-sport trim looks amazing, just have to get the adaptive suspension. but it looks so good in person, way more expensive than it does.
6:50 shows Chevy MYLINK???? What the hell?
I have the same model in 2015. I love it
Amo este carro ♥
I wish cooley still did these :'(
Cooley has reviewed this car in the same model year three times. One time it was blue and the third time it was red again.
Omfg that convertable roof...sooooo awesome! !!!
عاشقشم.میخرمش😍👊
Very nice antenna on the BMW z4
Nice soundtrack on the start.
Hahaha! I love his reaction for the hood latch lol. I remembered he always complain about those things back in 2011 & 2012 reviews for some BMWs, it was hilarious.
4:36 the ol' brain hooks
A great review from Cooley again, like ALWAYS!
What is that name of that little tune at the beginning it is really catchy
The 35is models come with the n54 which has twin turbos
z4 is all about her appearance, it's so elegant/gorgeous and incomparable with slk and tt
tt looks like a toy car with the hard top down, and slk/slc looks like an entry level car and kinda cheap
for driving experience there is no such big difference with her rivals
I'm looking into getting a z4 but what's the difference between a 2013 z4 35i and the 35i M sport? Which is better or what? (No 35is)
"BE careful of these.. Guhhh.." Gotta love Cooley!
Both z4 35i and z4 35is come with the twin turbo engine with dct transmission. Video is incorrect in saying the z4 35is has a single turbo and that the z4 35i has a traditional automatic.
No hes correct
Cole Lockridge No he's not. The z4 35i and 35is have the N54 twin turbo engine and either the DCT or manual trans (35i only for manual).
@@dylanbond1627 z4 35i has 8 speed automatic. Dct is 35is
Cole Lockridge no you are wrong
8 speed were used for the new 4cyl turbo engines
All n54 use the dct
So the Z4 35is uses the twin scroll and the 335is uses the old twin turbo?
I got really scared at 6:54 seeing this crappy panel. Thankfully it's just an edit mistake
What is the Cruze interior doing in this video?
Cooley! Cooley! Cooley!!!
If you have a full trunk, will the car detect this and NOT put the hardtop down. Or will damage all your coke?
I can't believe he complained about the center console tilted toward drive. n00b
I'm so broke
is that kipkay?
This z4 or e85 M convertible ?
Why did you end up showing a chevy cruze later on in the video?!
Yep, as others have said, the Z4 never got the N55 engine. It's the last car in BMW's lineup with the N54.
I like the Host. He’s funny.
Exactly, or wait for the new m3/4 to hit the market
Cooley is using a Droid4
Nice :)
Please review Jaguar F-Type
Thanks
COOLEY!!!
How did they let they Chevy cruze footage get through?
I can't see dropping 70k on this when I can get a C7 stingray, Boxster S or the M3 all fully loaded which are by far all better options bmw really needs to rethink their strategy with the Z4
Fantastic, but why do you pretend anyone cares? People like the z4 so get the car you want with your trap shut.
Peter Costello M3 is irrelevant, because it's a cabrio, not a roadster. If you want a roadster why would you need a cabrio. Boxter looks gay. Although quality is above-sky-level. C7 doesn't have metal roof, so you can't use it in winter. But with its engine and looks it's probably most interesting rival out of three, if you ready to deal with its interior. I think most Z4 buyers's opinion is like mine.
You can get this exact car for under 20k now.
Got one of these on Real Racing 3
I've seen CNET use the wrong car in some shots of videos before but not as bad as 6:53. Ouch.
what car is that at 6:54..
Cooley is that guyyy!!!!! :)
Whats the name of the song?
im trying to find out
BMW should bring the Z3 back, I would love to see a BMW Z3 2019
That's because in cheap cars compromises have to be made, and that gives people things to complain about. In a high end car there usually isn't much you can complain about.
I smell a prize fight episode....2013 BMW Z4 sDrive35is VS. 2013 Jaguar F-Type
thats how cooley reviews
Um, at 6:54, A CHEVY CRUZE tech package???????
Lol, was a bit weird hey. Editor snoozing on the job.
Damn...thats an expensive lil bugger
What does he mean when he says there's no automatic in the traditional sense?
+NickLiang A normal automatic has one clutch. While this one has 2 two. The clutch allows to switch gears.
No torque converter
It’s a Twin Turbo this is the N54 not the N55 with the twin scroll turbo
I want one
Dam thats really red
Why are we even surprised, they once called a video of a Gallardo, a Murcielago..
I think this is 2014 model
Looked like some Chevy or other GM car.. the center console looked familiar to me..
Hey cooley, the interior dash is shifted towards the driver. These are typical of sports cars. You do a better job reviewing economy family cars. Leave the sports cars to car and driver, top gear etc.. Just my humble opinion :)
Thanks for your quick informative review! Cooley--
I had a M3 and 325e when I was in high school time. I thought I may consider this roadster. But not after this review. Too expensia. Better off with a Miata and a gt3!
The z4 had the n55 in the us?????
4:45
Well they got it wrong
Only turbo i6 in the e89 was the n54
Cooley is the best reviewer ever!
Thats the car am having
It's a twin turbo, not twin scroll turbo
i see the dead cat microphone above the exhaust
that car is very expensive! ! wow
bmw x5 2014
I'd prefer a porsche boxter s
Didn't they just review this the other day...wait they did------>
Am I the only one who thinks he talks like Mr White from Breaking Bad?
chevrolet cruze to be exact
cooley uses a droid dna 2.19
This is n54 not n55! Not twin scroll!
(referring to the car) "Let's see how well the family chromosomes are doing" ...personally I think it may have picked up an extra one somewhere along the way.
its twin turbo not twin scroll
7 year old video BUT ITS A TWIN TURBO N54
I feel bad for the people that know me because you know it's not like I intended for this to happen
Ok they showed a Chevy interior at the end...come on editors lol :p
it would be funny if that was really daily car
Surprised that BMW still hasn't replaced those halogen halo rings to LED ones. A bit dated looking IMO
It's called car tech...
Its twin turbo not twin scroll guy. It's an N54 not an N55... smh...
You always focus so much on the tech part of the car but not so much driving experience.
BMW Cruze Diesel.
Always prefered the e85/e86 z4,especially the coupe.The e89 is a bit lardy and too much like a mercedes slk.
CNET team, you have access to a lot of great cars, you have very good video quality, sound and information about cars but find a good reviewer
3:00 wow the germans suck with cup holders .
in the center console, as in literaly IN the console
thats what i do in my dads subaru loyale and thats from 88-94
then you got a lit a jar just for a place to set your soda,
good god BMW get with the times!
This guy only gives positive feedback to mercedes and bmw. But when he reviews a Kia or hyundai or Toyota, he always says negative things about it
for that price, i can get a used 2011-2012 GTR
Buying a car is one thing, maintaining a car another.
I could buy a user Porsche 911 or older Ferrari V8. But I cannot (or don’t want to) pay for the annual maintenance with the specialists.

Brian since you hate cars so much how bout switching to motorcycles (?) OOPS my mistake, you probably hate those TOO!
66k O_o. I rather buy a new C7 Corvette
Cup holder is under the arm rest? LOL! BMW seriously is suffering from cup holder designing disability.
