BMW Z4 Roadster (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 26 May 2009 Last Updated: 01 February 2010 BMW has made some key changes to the Z4 as it looks to make the two-seater more appealing to people considering a Mercedes-Benz SLK or Porsche Boxster. The biggest difference compared to the previous Z4 is the introduction of a metal-folding roof which means it is much quieter at motorway speeds. This also improves security while the cabin has plenty of space, especially in terms of head room. All the engines in the line-up deliver impressive performance and good fuel economy too, while it's usefully practical for a sports car. But perhaps the biggest improvement comes in terms of refinement and ride comfort. This makes the Z4 a coupe convertible that's easy to live with everyday. 4.5 out of 5 Other BMW reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster (04-11) Neat styling, good quality interior, refined with roof down More powerful models are expensive to run, poor manual gearbox, no diesel option Read full review 5 out of 5 Porsche Boxster (04-11) Wonderful engines, intoxicating driving experience, superbly balanced, useful boot space Poor standard equipment levels Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Audi TT Roadster (07 on) Fun to drive, stylish looks, fast folding roof, superbly built interior, TDI available Fabric hood isn't as secure as a metal top, thirsty V6 engine Read full review Find other convertible cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
