  • youll never know - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    Unless your Z4 is headed for the track,youll never know just how really good it is.I have yet to find the limits of the cars handling.I have owned several BMWs,they are always as good the day you sell them as the day you drive it off the lot.Think of how you cant wait to get rid of most cars after a couple years of driving,youll never feel that way about your Z4

  • Great Weekend Toy - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    Great toy for the weekends. Never even a warranty item. Corners great. I have the SMG package which takes getting use to. Boxster S killer and Porsche owners always hate to loose! Drawbacks, cup holders are useless but necessary to have drinks in the Florida heat. This is a sports car and a bumpy sports car ride with stiff seats. Anything past a couple hours it hard on the butt.

  • Fun, fun, fun - but a bit impractical - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    Lets face it. People buy cars like this for their fun factor, and perhaps for their "cool" factor as well. The Z4 does a bang-up job of providing both while delivering upwards of 25 mpg. Its a bit of a chore getting in and out, especially for a 62" guy like me, but once youre inside its surprisingly roomy if you lower the seats all the way. The power convertible top works perfectly, and the interior is gorgeous. The ride is stiff, but the car runs and handles fantastically. My only complaint: you have to be careful when parking or youll scrape the underside of the front cowling.

  • Watch that paint! - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    This is a wonderful car to drive. The 2.5 is a little sluggish from the line but makes up for this with impressive high speed power on the highway and in the turns. The car is an attention getter. The top works well and quickly. The paint job on this car leaves a little to be desired. This is a $40k with features, but it has the paint job of a car costing about $10k. This car scratches easily. It requires copious amounts of wax to cover these imperfections.

  • Land Shark - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    This thing is sleek, corners well, good turning radius, punchy 0-60 for the amount of money spent, the stereo system is decent for a stock set-up. A little awkward getting out of the vehicle but this is nothing new for a sporty vehicle / roadster. All in all its a great car!

  • Need more on the inside - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    The car is small, not much more they could do for comfort. For that price more should have been included like Mercedes. We were told BMWs are such great cars they don’t need to include the fluff. I strongly disagree. At that price, heated seats, CD changer, automatic softop, dimmer light, car mats should ALL BE INCLUDED. Customer service-lousy. The car is gone as soon as the fun wares off. My daughter drives a ercedes and we are having second thoughts. If you want fun, go for it. If you want comfort, class, fluff, and great customer service: Look elsewhere. Feel free to email me with any questions @ shahzadee@aol.com

  • TONS OF FUN! - 2004 BMW Z4

    GREAT CAR, SOLID HANDELING AND FAST OFF THE MARK. OVER ALL BEST IN CLASS.

  • My Z4 - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    There is nothing like dropping the top on a brisk fall day and hitting the highway. I love the sound of the engine as I shift the gears.

  • Great at first, then.... - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    I bought the Z4 as what seemed like a natural upgrade from my Z3. I paid a premium to own this car, based on its stellar styling and improvements, such as the fully auto top and glass rear window. However after owning it for the first 6 months, it began to annoy me to no end. Its horribly uncomfortable. From the unsupportive seats, the exaggerated door interior door handles that chafe my left leg every time I shift, to the un-adjustable seat belt that chokes me every time I drive. Plus the 1/4 inch clearance from the dash to my right knee, and Im only 61! Add an ultra-harsh ride, and I feel like Im in a torture chamber each time I get in. I wish I had kept the z3.

    I have the v-6, the car is a great car for performance and power, however, the car does burn a hell of lot of gas, but then again, when you pay over 42000, for a sports car, you cant complain too much about gas. The car is extremely fun to drive and I love the automatic top that you don t have to latch yourself.
