"The BMW Z4 is to cars what Michelangelo is to artwork- timeless, sophiisticated and elegant styling. The car looks great but handles well also, with a sporty engine and great suspension. Put the top down and enjoy life in an affordable luxury car that will turn heads."

"This car is remarkable. It's a nice ride for a sports car. You feel invigorated driving with the top down. It's amazing how much leg room this car has. It's even comfortable for the long haul. I would recommend this car as a great daily driver. The 5 speed manual gets up and goes. I do wish this was a six speed manual, it seems this car has a lot more power and you feel that the extra gear would be great. I get 32 not on the open road. In town I get about 24. Still this car is a great value for the the money. Look for low mileage cars, you won't be sorry. If and when you buy one make sure you take it to BMW to do the first service call on your vehicle, I did and found a few items that need attention besides the oil change. Break fluid and coolent needed replacement. I purchased this vehicle with 35,500 miles on it. Its in great mechanical condition and I feel its nearly broken in. Good luck in your search and love the open road feeling."

"The z4 is fun to drive all year long. Well, except for the snow as with all rear wheel drive autos. I am a big guy and fit nicely in this machine. Power seats go right to the floor. Car turns on a dime and blasts off like a rocket ship. This is only of the best cars we have owned"

"I came of age in the late 50's and remember some of the great sports cars availabe then - the Austin-Healy 3000, the early MGs, the Triumph and the 'vette. I wanted something that recalled that era, but with a lot more quality and performance. After extensive research, I found a very low-milage 2004 BMW Z4. It is awesome. Performance is off the charts and the car has every option known to man."

"Car was in exellent condition. Dealer respresented this car exactly as I expected based on what I was told and even more. Dealer was easy to work with and was able to produce a car for me when I told him what I was looking for. Car is in mint condition and I love it. Everyone looks at it when I drive it and comments on what a beautiful car it is. Would highly recommend this Dealer to anyone looking for a car."

"The Z4 is a love it or hate it car. The car didn't do anything for me when I first saw it. The more I saw them around, the more interested I became. The engine and trans is right out of the 3 series, very reliable. It has lots of power. It's a little heavy for a roadster, but that gives it a safe feeling. I grew to love the body and simple interior. It handles flat and percise, a little choppy because of the short wheelbase. The tires are nice and wide runflats. It does wear tires quickly! You need to use the stock tires that were engineered for this car, about $400 each. It's a joy to drive this car, a little pricey, but worth it!"

"This car has it all. I've owned my Z4 for 4 months now and truly say that this vehicle is reliable, safe, fun, and fast. As far as sports cars I've owned a 2000 MR2 Spyder,Mistu Eclipse, and 240sx. This BMW is by far better in quality and reliability than the other cars I've owned. So far, the RFTs have been fine. I did get a flat once and drove 100 miles on it...took it to discount tire and they removed the nail for free. The vehicle handles superbly and its pretty quick, atr least for my needs. I didn't think that the 3.0 was that much faster for the money. Trunk space is very good for a small convertible and maintenance is reasonable with an oil change once3 a year or 15K miles per BMW. The interior is spacious and you can turn off the passenger airbag if you have kids sitting in the seat."

"Purchased my Z4 3.0i new in 2004 and just can't bring myself to trade it in! Nothing compares to the styling, performance and value. Still feels like new after 30K. Huge amounts of fun to drive. Almost everyone replaces the original run flat tires (RFT) with standard tires for much much better driveability and comfort."
