This Year's Model Updates:

Light Poplar Grain wood trim is available as a no-charge option on all Z4s. White indicator lights are standard across the board, and foglights and cruise control are now standard on the 2.5i. The 3.0i includes automatic climate control as standard equipment this year. Leather seating is no longer part of the 2.5i's Premium Package and is a stand-alone option, while all models receive additional black accents for the interior. The Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) is only available on the 3.0i, and requires the Sport Package. Last year's Convenience Package is history, though its contents are now either standard or part of the Premium Package.

Pros:
  • Exhilarating driving dynamics, long list of standard safety features, refined drivetrains, excellent build quality.
Cons:
  • Options are expensive, odd styling, firm ride, notable wind and road noise.

    Great car,very happy with the 2.5 engine. I still look at the 350z and wonder if I should have gone with that one. Car is major fun to drive, very tight and feels very safe. I regret that i didnt get the fog lights. I wouldnt waste my money on the navigation system. Just "keep your eyes on the road and head upon the wheels"

    This vehicle has reopened my love of driving. It is fun, responsive, reliable and gets great mileage for a car in this class. I would recommend it to those who seek a "sports car" extraordinaire!

    Well dont buy it if you dont like people to stare at you and to have random people start talking to you. Comfortable interior easy opening of roof, big trunk both men and woman of all ages enjoy.

  • My Roadster - 2005 BMW Z4

    I drive all day as part of my business and this car is making it a pleasure. I love the purring noises and the wind rush. I have had only positive comments from other drivers about the looks. Even with the price of gas, I cannot stay home for long without wanting to drive off for awhile.

    Have owned several Corvettes. This car is much more enjoyable to drive. It is truly a real sports car. The transmission is great as it allows you automatic or go through the gears without a clutch.

  • I bought a Machine - 2005 BMW Z4
    By -

    I was attracted to the Z4 because of the exterior design. I didnt realize that I was buying not just another pretty car but a machine. I think the car performs best when driving at 90 mph and above. Handles wonderfully and clean. Its the best purchase Ive made in a long time.

  • A Classic Roadster - 2005 BMW Z4
    By -

    The Z4 is a throwback to the classic roadster like the 60s vettes except it has all the luxuries you could want... glass rear windshield, cd player and so on... the only drawback is the sometimes rough feel of the stiff frame... but this only adds to the classic roadster concept. The sport model with the sport button really kicks it up a notch and aids high speed handling on twisting roads. I would recommend a built in radar detector that allows you to really have worry free fun. This car will put a perpetual smile on your face... p.s. im 62" and have plenty of room and I really can fit 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk... no other roadster can fit one set... I tested them all!

  • I Love My Baby - 2005 BMW Z4

    This car rocks! My husband bought it for me for our 20th wedding anniversary. What a present, what a man!! I love my car. It feels like going on vacation everytime I go anywhere in my car. I drove Jonass Ridge (in North Carolina) over the 4th and it was awesome!!!! The car handles like a dream in the curves. It truly is a driving experience.

  • A fun roadster to drive - 2005 BMW Z4
    By -

    We have SMG transmission on our Z4. That option gives us more fun than with a traditional manual gear system. Bumpy drive on bad road surface but we expected that. A real fun factor in a very sporty drive.
