My Friend Bought A BMW Z4
Hey Guys It’s Joel!
Welcome back to the channel, and a particularly exciting video. From the title, you will have seen that my friend Louis has bought a BMW Z4.
I had no idea he was going to do this, until he told me that he wanted to have a look at one. I’m pleased to say, I convinced him to check out the 3.0 model, and he ended up buying one!
Hopefully now we can do plenty more videos with the two cars!
Enjoy!

Hope you guys enjoy this one. Lots of you in the comments asking how much Louis paid, the car cost £3,200 - we talk about the mileage in the video. Great value!

Joel, When I was your age, I was driving an Austin Healey 100 6. Now that I'm a bit older (80) I'm driving a 2008 Z4 3-0i. I like it but It will never replace the true sports car that the Healey is. PS. The Healey didn't have cup holders!

He almost crashed it already :D His Z4 looks really good in sterling grey with the 18“ wheels but then again I’m biased as it’s identical to mine. Keep spreading the e85 passion. I don’t know anyone with that many Z4s in his circle. :D

@ianskillcorn6646 6 лет назад

Great vid, are you on a mission to make everyone buy a Z4? I was certainly influenced by your channel when I made my decision to buy a 3.0! I also have these BBS 5 spoke alloys and think they suit the car spot on 😍

Annoying about the cupholders right? But you can’t have it all I guess!

@ronluckenbach9492 6 лет назад

Haha, I have up holders on my 05 Zed 4 2.5i ...triple black.I have NEVER used them in the 2 1/2 yrs. I owned the car. They are brand new replacements. While checking the service reports that came w/the car I see they were replaced twice, a heavy set Dude owned the car before me and kept knocking the drivers side out with his knees. The cup holders , like most plastic parts on a BMW interior are cheap and chintzy.

Yes definitely worth the money, and they’re reliable too. My Z4 is now on 150k miles

Wow, just £3,200? How come it's so cheap -- in Germany Z4s with similar mileage go for about €7,000 and they're usually just 2.2 or 2.5 l.

It was a particularly good price, that’s why he bought it!

@fpnightshade 5 лет назад

Hi Joel... been watching all your videos, really informative and down to earth... looking at a 3.0 Z4 on Sunday.. what should i be looking out for?

@chrisfieldhouse6666 6 лет назад

I blame you Joel, I watched your Z4 video’s and fell in love with the idea of owning one. In June this year I bought a 3.0i and couldn’t be happier with it. Compared to my old E87 116i (with the N45) it is so much easier to drive day to day. I put my old wheels on the beast (Riva DTM 7.5x18 square) and it’s awesome. I’m tempted to a stud conversion & put spacers on her, have your followers done the same/similar without issue?

@itsjoel 6 лет назад

Haha I’m sorry 😂 glad you love your Z4 tho. I have a mate who put spacers on his, looked great!

@kristopherbell1916 6 лет назад

I feel like these cars aged well. I got a coupe and it looks phenomenal after all these years with the exception of the wood dash cracking..

@itsjoel 6 лет назад

I agree! Shame about the dash!

@prontopac 6 лет назад

Congratulations! Just a few thoughts; there are drain plugs in front of the rear wheel wells that help remove water build up from destroying your convertible top motor, there is a fix for 'sticking steering wheel' on RU-vid if it becomes a bigger problem and lastly, my brother-in-law just recently brought a 2005 2.5i Z for 4,654.50 pounds. He then went out (foolishly in my opinion) and spent 2,715.19 pounds for a sound system upgrade. And for your information; 1,800 pounds for insurance is equal to $2,320.16 U.S. dollars. A bit high considering your driving record.

@UBRLND-X 6 лет назад

Question for you both; what is your takes on the Z4 as a daily driver/ longer drives? Also, talk about the leg room a bit. I am 6'1" and all legs, so while the height wouldn't be a problem for me, I was curious about the legroom under the dash. My wife's 2009 328i sport coupe has decent leg room. how does the Z4 compare? thanks, in advance

@itsjoel 6 лет назад

I personally find it very comfortable, although I’m average height. On bumpy roads, the ride can be stiff - but for the most part it’s smooth. Again, I’ve relatively small so feel there’s enough room to spread out, you might struggle more though, hard to say!

@IAmOrion 6 лет назад

You both need to get clear side repeaters at least :) (De-gingering headlights can be a tricky depending on if you have Xenons or Halogens, but swapping the sides is super easy)

@itsjoel 6 лет назад

That would be nice, but quite expensive to do!

@IAmOrion 6 лет назад

The sides are only about £21 each from BMW for clears, but the headlights would be expensive, well, unless you try the DIY approach

@itsjoel 6 лет назад

that’s not too bad at all! Think you’d have to get the headlights done too though, in my opinion anyway!

@IAmOrion 6 лет назад

Yeah probably. I did my headlights myself (Since there isn't any off-the-shelf ones for Xenons). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K-b_fX3P5ZA.html (When not indicating, they function as normal angel eyes/halos) z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=100058
