Great car all year in New England

I bought the 3.0SI with auto loaded this winter. I put 17? Nokian on for the winter and it handles the worst winter in New England history like there is no snow or ice. The issue is how low it is to the ground. The car can turn into a plow with heavy snow. I have 18? for the summer. It handles great and is fast enough. With the top down you can still talk to your passenger. Everyone checks out the car. For the $$$ you can?t beat this car. It brings a smile to my face every time I see it and it gets bigger when I drive it.

Young at heart

Found almost exactly what I have been looking for. Wanted a manual tranny and the bigger engine, but they are few and far between, but EVERYTHING else is just what I wanted. A fabulous automobile! Even the MPG is great, 21 in town and 33 on the road.

Fast and Fun in the Sun

The Z4 3.0si is fast and fun especially with the top down. The car gets going quickly even as an automatic, and really jumps when put into sport mode. Paddle shifters are easy to use. The 18 inch wheels and wide sport tires hold the curves at high speed without feeling loose at all. With the top down there is not much wind whipping around the cockpit and there is a wind screen that can be installed. The soft top is fully automatic and is operated with one button, no need to unlatch. The suspension is tight even when not in sport mode so be prepared to feel all the bumps the road has to offer. As a comparison, it is a softer ride than a Porsche Boxster. If you like a bunch of buttons and such on your dash, you will not find them in the Z4. It is a simple layout that I like as it allows me to concentrate on driving. The trunk is good sized, can get a couple of golf bags in there.

BEST SPORTS CAR EVER!!

Bought this used- but enjoying every minute of the car. The 6 speed shifts very smoothly. For the money- this is the best sports car you can buy. Runs great- handles smoothly. Just think- warm weather, top down, hair blowing in the wind.... Love this car!

It's a bimmer, enough said.

Mine is a 07 3.0i. The power isn't incredible with only 215hp and steptronic, but it still keeps up with the other roadsters out there (go with the 3.0si or M if you really want to have fun). What the 3.0i lacks in power it makes up for with its typical awesome BMW handling. Working at a BMW dealership, I can say that we don't do many repairs to Z4s and they seem to be pretty reliable, including mine so far. The body style isn't for everyone, but it definitely turns heads, especially if you live out in a rural area like I do (it really sticks out). The interior is very sporty with easy controls, a great sound system and many conveniences. Horrible in the snow, of course, I have to park it for 2-3 months during winter, but when summer rolls around and you're cruising with the top down while getting waves from beautiful women, it's worth it :-)

Meanest little street shark

I bought my 2007 Z4 3.0si Coupe about 3 weeks ago for roughly 42k in Montego Blue. The pictures online absolutely cannot do it justice. It was love at first sight when I saw it at the dealership. It sits very low to the ground and has a stance of a tiger that is about to pounce its prey. And that is precisely what it did the moment I hit the gas and dropped the clutch. Its sport setting helps a lot with taking off from first. The clutch and transmission are among the best I have driven - smooth from first all the way to 6th. The handling is nothing short of precise, and the M seats hug you and keep you planted and focused on the road. Another thing I love about this car is its high reving 3.0L engine and the sound it makes both inside and outside the cabin. One cool feature a lot of people like about this car is that after you remove the brake on a hill, the car stills still for about 3 seconds before rolling back like a regular manual. The reason I gave it a 4 in performance is because I also own a subaru STI turbocharged, but that can easily be fixed with aftermarket add-ons. I also feal that the interior design (particularly the dash) could use more features, but then again...it is a very small car. The trunk space is huuuge compared to its convertible sister. Overall, I absolutely love this car. Just driving it down the street or highway I had a handfull of people compliment the car.

great german enginereering

drive this car like it was meant to be driven - a true rag top that has lost none of BMW's heritage. This is not a car that you would buy if you have kids and a dog - god knows there are enough vehicles out there to do that. But if you want to recapture true ragtop driving, there is no other car that can do it with the panache this does. Thanks BMW!

The Best All-Around car I've ever owned

2007 3.0si fully loaded (Nav, Premium and sport packages, M heated sports seats, Xenon headlights, automatic with 6-speed steering-wheel mounted sport shifters, etc.) MSRP $52,500. Exterior: Silver / Interior: Black. Awesome handling and acceleration. Turns heads everywhere you go. However, you need to be careful of the VERY LOW PROFILE rims/tires, 225/40/18 front with 255/35/18 rear. The rear's on the 3.0si are even lower profile than the Z4 M's without runflats!! Go slow on curbs and speed bumps. I had to drive slow in Downtown San Francisco due to potholes. I rated a 4 out of 5 stars of 'Comfort' because it's a bumpy ride. But considering it's a very sporty sports car, I'd say it's 'by design'. I rated the rest all 5 stars because it's an almost PERFECT car. Nav is user friendly - much better than the iDrive system. It's not a cheap car once you add up all of the options like I did. At MSRP $52.5k, you can find something else which is cheaper and faster. But I LOVE BMW's. Their overall handling and reliability is unbeatable, par-none.

Most fun car I've ever owned

It's a 2007 Z4 3.0i, Sport package, heated seat, manual trans, black on black. This is my very 1st stick shift car, and every time I get off the car this thought comes to mind, "Never a dull moment!" I think it says it all.

Funnest car I've driven

Excellent car. Aside from the fun of driving a 2 seat convertable, the Z4 has additionall advantages. Exciting yet forgiving handling, largest storage space of any 2 seater I've seen and striking appearance.
