The z4 coupe is an incredible hidden gem. It's about 150lbs lighter than the Z4 M and 300lbs lighter than the e46 M3 due to having a aluminum/mag block n52 engine rather than the S54's iron block.
Have an ‘07 e86 si - tracked regularly with minimal upgrades: camber plates, a must for proper alignment; stiffer sway bars - like the e46, a stiff front bar keeps the wheels in the optimum camber curve (counter intuitive, I know, but it works … never ever lower these below factory sport suspension levels - ever); stiff rear bar helps with rotation (need to turn the e-Nannie’s off). High temp brake fluid, brake pads suitable for the purpose go a long way - no need for big brake upgrade. Light wheels and good rubber complete the package. FANTASTIC DUAL PURPOSE CAR. Mine is my dd 😉
I bought my 3.0si Coupe in 2012 planning to keep it for a couple of years. But I could never bring myself to sell it. I think people don’t understand it, because it is midway between a sports car and a GT. Some day people will figure out this is a real classic.
I have an Aussie delivered manual coupe. Ultra rare here and fly under the radar but after having spent many years driving many different sports cars I can say this one is definitely a keeper. Practical, reliable, beautiful, unique.
The z4 coupes with n52 are a rare cars in North America with only 2104 produce for the North American market unfortunately they are dropping in value due to high mileage and conditions and other certain factors , parts are no longer in production like the used too as of 2024 I have a chance to get one but the dealer pricing is a premium for a car that needs some TLC and that adds up in cost . Z4 M coupes are the ones to invest if you could find the right one with super low miles a well record of maintenance records and great condition also the z4 m coupes are fewer in number but they are only manual transmission cars so not a lot of people want them in 2024.
@@victoria19853 I would like an N52 Z4 coupe to work on and build for a track/semi-daily, so I wouldn’t be too hard on the wear and tear. If I can find one someday, that would be awesome but if I have to settle on a 128i, I’ll be fine with that. I’m too abusive to invest in a care so the Z4 M would be hard for me to justify but it would be such a great car. I actually have a buddy that’s selling his supercharged Z4M soon. Never got to drive it but it’s really nice!
@@VictorPitstop I see. I have the opportunity to buy a n52 z4 coupe but the dealer wants a premium price for a car that needs TLC on certain cosmetics and there is no service records either yes is comes with a very limited 1 year power train warranty but it’s a n52 they are great engines to me the warranty is not needed I don’t know were you are located but judging from the video I think your in Texas is so I saw one for sale in that state.
@@victoria19853 yes, the N52 is hyper reliable as long as the cooling (with any bmw) is addressed! I would shop around because chances are the dealer took it in for cheap. Yes, I am located in Austin, TX!
I had an 07 silver with red interior and sold it, but 2 yrs later bought another 07 coupe Monaco blue, wich they only sold 36 in the US and I'm no selling that one
Where you located ?? I currently own my dream car which is a 07 z4 3.0si ESS supercharged with headers and smaller pulley for about 320whp! Looking to go water/meth and even smaller pulley to get to my dream hp goal for about 350whp
@@drifter9425 not in the Z4m, it has the latest version of the S54 with the updates. I changed mine anyway though at 100k miles and turned out they were fine.
such a under rated car i dont see many of them m or not

It really is a driver’s car. Probably one of the last from BMW as an analog sports car. S54 may be faster but the balance is incredible with the N54!

It is my top pick if I’m going to get another Bimmer. They are going to increase in value significantly over time. Great cars.

Do not drop an LS in it, Z4's are straight six only! 👌

Nice!
I always smile at americans calling this a ”Bmw C4”… :) I mean, what do you call a Corvette C4..? ”Zed 4”?
‘Zee-four’ lol! If Americans called it ‘zed’ they’d get looked at funny.
Well … seems you need an earwax cleaning ZEE sounds distinctly different than SEE to me 😉
@@f1fork FYI, in english Z is spelled ”zed” :)
LOVE my 2007 E86 3.0 so fun and beautiful
They’re really fantastic cars! Great weight balance, excellent chassis and solid motor!!
These cars are going to get even more collectible and expensive as the years go by.
I had to pay double book value for a spotless 2007 with 79k mi LOVE it
@@drifter9425I sold my beautiful ///M coupe for 22k with 40k miles on it.
The car now is worth a little over double what I sold it for 😭
Great video man! Liked and subbed!
Thank you for your support! Gives me drive to create more!
LoL love how you got out I do that too
I LOVE my Z4 Coupe
It’s the only way. Lmao!

02-05 only. After is N52.

That sounds like a super reliable and insanely fast car!
I'm curious what suspension mods he did to this car
He just had BC Racing coil overs in terms of suspension work, not even alignment. The mod list is in the description if you wanted to know everything!
@@VictorPitstop Thanks, I didn't think to look there. Great content
@@mrmonday42 no problem. More content very soon, thanks for stopping by!

The M version of this car takes it to a much higher level. It is rated at 333hp, better suspension and brakes.
Trying to get my buddy’s supercharged Z4 M coupe out there to review soon!!
The 3.2 is known to need rod bearings where 3.0 doesn't
@@drifter9425 not in the Z4m, it has the latest version of the S54 with the updates. I changed mine anyway though at 100k miles and turned out they were fine.
M has more weight over the front axle … less nimble … just a trade off
