THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A BMW Z4 

. I bought a 2005 with this color and stick shift. I love it

Z4 E85 styling is timeless

No regrets. Old school super cool. A gem.

I’m picking up my E85 2.2i next Friday and I can’t wait. Lovely straight 6, car looks better now than ever… no brainer

such a good looking car for its proportions its like a concept car made reality if that makes sense

ive got the 2.5 version and I love it as a summer car, bargain at 4k with 57k on the clock

Got the 2011 metal folding roof one 11 years ago, I usually swap my cars at 5 years old. It’s the 315 model, which means 3 litre twin turbo model with 5 series engine giving 27 mpg and I had the engine mapped 5 years ago to its 5 series official BMW limit. This gave 1mpg more, smoothed out the torque curve and is over 400 bhp when sport button is pressed All car manufacturers fiddle the emissions at 30, 50 and 70 mph which spoils the engine efficiency of the car, this mapping doesn’t produce any more emissions, but makes it run like it should. I struggle to find a better sports car, big bills so far, Hydraulic pump for the roof 2 years ago £2,800, handbrake electric module £400, rear light cluster about the same, the rest has just been consumables, oil, brakes, tyres, servicing etc. It’s a second car and done 59,000 miles

Excellent vid..! I've a black sapphire metallic Z4 2.2i 2005, and it's certainly been looked after by myself...! Timeless cars i say for sure.

I’ve got a 2006 3.0si. I paid 15k to purchase and spent a year replacing Everything except the engine and transmission spending at least another 15k. So mines is very expensive but it’s got a new rear subframe, diff, 1/2 shafts, trailing arms, hubs, rotors, brakes, exhaust, control arms, tie rods, all bushings, control arms, shocks, springs, water pump, thermostat, radiator, expansion tank, center console, rear console, aluminum dash panels, z4m seats, a Bluetooth stereo adapter, windshield cowl, door seals, carpet and yellow top optima battery, level sensors and fog lights along with hand, finishing each and every nut and bolt. Countless hours spent. Now it’s a gem….but it was not inexpensive.

Great review. Please do a comparison between this Z4 and its closest rival, the Honda S2K. I have driven the 6 cylinder E85 Z4 2.5si and the S2K back to back. Surprisingly and shockingly, the Z4 was much better. Performance, comfort, practicality, looks and soundtrack, the E85 wins. The S2K only edges the Z4 in the 9k redline department. Otherwise, the Z4 wins in every other way.

Was hoping to get this as a 2nd car, does the z4 require a lot of maintenance?

Great video. I don’t suppose you could tell me the OME BMW part number for the front bumper rivets/fixings please?

How about reliability?
