BMW Z4 Roadster (2003 - 2008) 2.0i Sport 2d (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Guess you would have to ask the neighbours. I suppose it's a bit flashy but I believe it's also becoming a modern classic. Mine is 8 years old but those lines and styling still look contemporary.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friends who haven't seen the car still know what a Z4 looks like and give nods of approval. The Titanium Silver paint is well liked and the comment is that unlike many roadsters it's a masculine looking car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. It's immense fun to drive.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly a newer Z4 with a 2.5 or 3 ltr engine.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,500

When did you buy the car?

November 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, saved £500 off list price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, efficient, professional.

What's it like to drive?

Quick, sharp handling. Nice lowdown driving position. Seats are extremely comfortable. Not blisteringly fast but has a smooth steady power increase. Flooring it from 4,000 revs will give you the biggest acceleration. Its easy to cruise on the motorway with surprisingly little road noise even at 80.

What's it like to park?

Simple, mine has rear parking sensors too.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Good sized boot for a roadster, we managed to pack enough for a week away in an log cabin. Also when the roof is down it takes up very little boot space. An average of 34 mpg so far is very impressive too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Super quick electronic folding roof.
