  • The fun zone starts here - 2004 BMW Z4

    Exellent car for the money, beats Porsche Boxster and Audi TT without question,love the aggresive design, some hate, it I love it, most non BMW owners thinks is an $80,000 car, worth the extra money I paid for the 3.0.

    This is my first convertible bought almost by accident. My mother Sue had one, thus the name. It is red and it is sweet. Just ask anyone passing by as I drive though. Its the only one in town! It handles quickly and smoothly, responding well on any kind of road in any kind of weather.I feel safe in it, enev though it is a convertible. Its size suits me- I rarely need to carry anyone.I dont worry about cargo space- it carries enough groceries home. With the top down I can put on a hat and drive the turnpike without effort. The sound system increases enough so that the wind is not a problem. Id reccomend this car to any one who wants one and can afford it!

    the 2.5 model is fast enough to get the driver in trouble but the brakes are excellent; the styling sets this car apart. my problem is with the run flat tires which seem prone to go flat and are expensive; in 12000 miles ive had three flats; no one is sure about a cause

  • Z4 - no comparison (even to the Z3) - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    I owned the Z3 for 3 years and upgraded to the Z4 about a year ago. WOW says it all. BMW should pat themselves on the back for this one. The improvements on the interior from the Z3 to the Z4 are incredible and numerous. The exterior is the most obvious change, and that did take a little bit to grow on me - but I love it now. The handling, acceleration, braking, and response of the vehicle are fantastic - the sport button definetly gives it that extra "kick" when you need it. If you never owned a BMW or a roadster, I guarantee you will love it. If you are upgrading from the Z3, you will thank God you did. You will be amazed by all of the compliments you get.

  • WOW - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    I drove this car to New Orleans right after I bought it. This car stopped traffic on Bourbob Street. People were gawking and taking pictures. When we pulled up to the hotel, people walked across the street to ask about the car. People coming out of the hotel stopped to ask about the car and look at it. I thought the doorman would never have a chance to unload our car. This car still causes a stir wherever I go! WOW!!

  • Great car, if you like to drive - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    The best two-seater I have ever owned. Great acceleration, great grip, cornering is a pleasure, it is very safe and the drive is always controlled, the steering is unbelievable, it is very comfortable and it looks great. What else do you need from a sports car? On the downside, I have had several warranty issues, there were material flaws and the repair crews were not always familar with the car and with their own job (e.g. destroying things as they fixed others). Last, my 2 cents: get the SMG (semi- manual gearbox) if you can. It is the best shifting experience I have ever had and far superior to the other alternative of manual shifting.

  • Best two seater ever! - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    After owning BMW for many years, the Z4 3.0 was the first that convince me to get a two seater, It doesnt feel "small" at all. I love the looks, may be controversial because is a bit ahead. The trunk space is better than the M3 convertible and the 328iC.Very fun to drive (I have the 6 speed manual) and the sound of the engine is perfect!

  • Not So Hot - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    Sorry to say, but my Z4 performs hot, but is uncomfortable, and rattles like a crib toy. The trunk is so small that literally it wont hold a golf bag. The Z4 looks good, and drives well, but for 45 grand it should be more comfortable and not rattle and squeek.

  • good looking and powerful - 2004 BMW Z4
    By -

    after driving a z3 for three years, this new z4 is like a new car altogether. i feel much more confident and comfortable driving this car.
