Most fun for the Buck

I love this car! Wish I was 20 years younger...I'd keep it. At 63, it's a little hard to get in and out of it. Other than that, I rate this car a 10!

More pure fun than excitement

Found Z4 when I was looking for S2000 or Miata, but when I saw this one with 23k miles in 2018 and in perfect condition I couldn't turn it down. No regrets at all. I'm 6'3" and am very comfortable once I get in. The car zips around the back roads of Cape Cod like a roller skate. It's a 2.5 so not super fast, but I don't care--it's just fun.

Most fun car I have ever owned

My BMW Z4 is super reliable and fun to drive. It?s surprisingly comfortable for its size. I have the manual transmission version and it shifts so well. The radio sounds awesome in it.

Exactly what I expected from BMW!

Fast, good looking, stiff, sexy! I guess you might say I love this roadster. It turns heads and garners compliments. It makes me feel young again and I'm 76!

The little car that could

I loved this thing, I use to wake up and look outside just to admire it from my window. Every time I walked past it, I?d stare, the thing had curves. Driving it was even more fun, it might only be 184 Hp but that goes a long way when it?s a small, light car. The large hood did cause slight issues while parking, I never knew how close I was to the curb in front of me; however, it did allow for a massive amount of engine space which made learning how to work on BMWs a breeze. I sold the car, but I plan on owning one in the future when I can afford it.

Just xxxx cool rooster roadster

Best style and amenities for the cabbage. Thought about a MX5 or Spyder or Cooper. After driving the BMW it was way ahead of the pack even if I had to money up some maintenance $$$$

Z4 Sport Package, Manual Transmision

A fun car for the twisty roads. It hugs the corners well and brings smiles to everyone. A great value for the money and fun factor.

Most fun and reliable and inexpensive car I have h

This car is very fun to drive with the top down right before the sun goes down and the gears shift so smooth. It is a good way to enjoy a drive even in traffic.

Worth Every Penny!

These sport cars are the best investment one can make buying a car... They are lots of fun to drive, and offer lots eye catching from everyone. They are do cost allot to operate as far as gas goes.

Dream car

Awesome car for cruising the California coast and mountains. Top down or up, it drives like a dream... sad to see it go but not practical anymore.
