Very vey nice car!
How many pounds was this?
I’m 63 and have just bought my z4 3.0...the car to have when you’re 23...love it!
Yep . I’m 23 now , about to buy a red one and stunt on my friends
tell jay leno that
@@jayhiii30 Haha same bro but I'm 20!
I bought mine at age 62, It's never too late to enjoy this unique driving experience.
Im 18 i got lucky with a stock and imma buy one
1:28 "You know you love your car when every time you park you look back." Busted! I still drive a 2013 Z4 and still look back at it every time I park. Can't help it, even though the wife keeps saying "why don't you look at me like that?" lol.
I own a black e89. It's a sexy timeless design. I get compliments and wows all the time
E89 absolutely my favorite Z4 hands down.
🫡
Far better looking then the one just launched
Yeah, I have to agree. I also have an E89, and I was so scared that they'd announce the new one it would be so cool and I'd no longer like my "old" E89, but... that didn't happen. Much prefer the E89 design.
yup, the 2019 model is stupidly aggressive. Hey BMW, it's okay to make cars look _beautiful_ instead of "uhhh ahh oomph gonna kill someone" design.
Designed to be a Toyota Supra so it looks a bit Japanese
@@colinmack2566 It's interesting how different the E85, E89 and G29 are, all three appeal to totally different drivers. E85 is the true small roadster experience, the E89 is a sporty luxury cruiser and the G29 goes full showoff overkill mode.
100% agree.
I bought it after watching this ❤️ thanks bro! You're the best.
Is this a 2009?
me too
@@josephfoster30 no thats the facelift from 2013-2016, see the white led angle eyes and the new shaped side indicators
You obviously love this car... and I don't blame you. I had a previous generation and found that I couldn't keep it. At 6'5" it played havoc with my back.
I think it's a beautiful car and would happily have this generation ... if only I would fit !
No need to change car exhaust or do any modifications to it!!! Its a beauty like that.
jasonhowes75 thanks a lot! I am really considering just leaving it as is! Looks so good stock 👍
RaceChip 😉
Only pathetic attention seeking man babies need loud after market exhausts
Dude knows how to enjoy life
"When your on a date you can impress her."
I can't even start a date.
I watched the video after you’d not long bought your Z4, and now this, two years on. Your enthusiasm is brilliant and, having one of these cars myself, I get every bit of it! They’re just brilliant cars - just make you smile! I also have a Z3... whole different car, but equally brilliant despite the older technology!
I love how you appreciate your car so much! I have just bought a 2012 reg Z4 in white (massive alloys!) I just can’t wait for the summer totally in love with my beema ❤️
great vid! yeahh z4 are awesome cars. i own a z4 e85 2003 all 'black beauty' since 14 years, now 160000 miles down the road, can't let go from this car, still love it each and every day, best wishes from switzerland and drive safe
Love my E89.
Noticed the same thing about the seat belt. Black shoe polish works well to recolor. A leather protector reduces the damage.
The E89 looks much better than the new Z4 in my opinion. I like that BMW let's them look different than the others in the lineup.
I have a z4 89 . Got it 3 years ago on 2015 plate will never sell it hang on to your hats guys only hundred thousand world wide gonna be a classic. I love mine. You still got yours?
I am picking up my 3rd Z4 end of April - I swapped my 2014 for a 2018 220i Coupe - had car 9 mths and now going back to a 2016 2.0 Z4 Auto as I missed it so much. I'm not letting this one go.
I have a 2014 Z4 in the States which I bought new in 2013. It has been the best car I think I have ever owned (I have owned many). 5 years on now and it still performs like a trooper. My convertible top DOES raise and lower with the remote, so you might want to check with your local service shop. In general I couldn't agree with you more about this car. Love it.
Operator713 how do u buy a new 2014 a year prior
souci. There’s a 2020 Supra out in 2019 mostly ever car brand out a car out earlier
I drove this version of the Z4 from 2013 to 2018 and miss it ever since. Fantastic car.
I really like your passion and enthusiasm for the Z4 mate. You seem genuinely excited by it. 👊
Hi Nez, recently bought a 2012 28i after a lot of searching. Watched a lot of videos and reviews but in particular enjoyed your Z4 passion and videos as well as 'It'sJoel' videos. Your interest and passion in your car kept me motivated whilst looking for my car. Bought as a 'Sunday' drive I manage to find time to drive it every day. Love it. Keep up the good work and enjoy, in particular, your Z4 content.
BMW owes you some money bro. This is one of the best video updates that I've seen on RUclips.
65 here and I love my Z4, so much fun to drive!
I have the 2016 Z4 35I M version of your car. LOVE IT. Also black on black. The car looks like no other car on the road, everyone calls it The Bat Mobile ! Sleek, unique, and stately. LOVE IT.
In March I purchased a 2014 Z4 35is Black w/ luggage interior. 1 owner w/23k and always garaged. 🎉Happy Birthday to me!🎉 This car is fun, fast and sexy. I drive w/the top down every chance I get. Even in the winter! I also have a '97 Z3 Roadster, soft top. Its night and day driving. I'm love my upgrade to Z4. Cheers!
I love your videos! Really lovely blend of facts and opinion. Your videos have convinced me to buy a Z4, currently looking. Keep up the good work.
man I am about to buy one, so excited. I agree, top design, class still today and more later on!
Picking mine up next week can’t wait
Driving around Boxhill and Sutton. My home turf. Nice car!
My e46 has the auto dimming mirrors also. It's a seriously underrated feature of BMWs. I don't know how common it is now on other cars but it was a godsend to me when I bought my e46.
Im currently driving my third z4 (1xe85,2xe89)
I love those cars!
All BMW Z4 E89's are 6 cylinder. I've had mine (3.0 l) for 8 years and still love it. Try driving it through a tunnel at 50, then drop it down into 3rd and plant your foot. Nice.
I took my 2.3ISDrive out yesterday after keeping it in storage for 15 months, roof down exhaust sound blasting 👌
Beautiful car man! I have had my 2009 sDrive35i for the past 8 years and I still love it as much as you love yours. Hoping to keep it as long as I can
Im thinking of buying a 2012 model! Wondering how much maintenance and repair costs tend to be on average per year?
White car shows the lines better.... I know because I have one :-) Nice cars mate. Hope you have many more happy miles in yours :-)
The roof not closing by remote was a legal issue,not a control issue.
American legislation forbid a convertible roof to errect by remote,incase it crushed somebody stood/ getting in or out of the car.
He's not in America and I just watched someone do it!
7 months ago I bought a used 328i coupe. Very happy with it.
However...... I recently saw a red Z3 convertible in a parking lot..
Instant infatuation! The driver let me see the interior...(She really enjoyed showing off her beemer!)
Gotta have one! Z4 is beautiful too!
I'm hooked. I'll be trading in my 328i in the spring.....
Thanks for this video! Your love for the car is obvious!
I have a 2003 Z with the M54 B30 6 speed. Almost 200,000 miles. Black on black. I love the thing.
great video , I own a 2013 one of the most fun car to drive and a head turner.
Fully agree, have my 35i for 5 years now. No major complaints as well and very happy until today. Have a similar spec, black/black, 19inches. Also drove the 20i as rental on vacation once, driving experience difference was day and night. The N54 is so effortless and until today without real competition on the Autobahn where I’m from. Will keep the E89 until family reasons intervene. Highly recommend this car to everyone who is considering one, wait until next year when prices will drop with the new model!
Live Life Lasting well said 👍
I can't wait, I want one now. How are these things on maintenance? I plan to keep it as long as possible
ive always like this car...on the fence of what to get..the Z the 435i or the M235 coming from an F10
I bought one! Zero regrets!
@@bak2mb the Z is designed from ground up as a sports car/roadster. The 4 and 2 series are coupe versions of a sedan/hatchback respectively. The Z is special. The others aren't.
Yes nice car, i owned one. I moved up to a Porsche 718 Spyder in manual, 450 hp thats a different all game not only performance but also looks.
CONGRATULATIONS, MY FRIEND! And thanks for the review, wonderful 👍
I've had this model for 4 years and love the thing! I was so disappointed the new ones went back to a soft top :(
For the remote, you hold down the unlock button to raise the roof and if you hold down the lock button it lowers the roof... Now you know lol!
I fully wrapped the entire front of the Z4 in clear 3M so glad you here you say I made the right choice!
I have the nappa light beige leather and the only issue I've had over two years is the natural oils in my hair apparently leave a yellow spot on the headrest :(
The only issue I've had and still haven't resolved is the headlight alignment has gone off twice now.
I'm about to buy a used 2016 with only around 6000 miles on it. I'm hesitant because I'm not sure about issues as far as maintenance or manufacturer defects have you experienced anything at all?
Great video. Have a Z3 Coupe myself and still love it after owning it for 13 years!!
Want to sell the couple yet I'm looking for one
@@drifter9425 not yet!
Im 24 and just got the 2.2i, love it
I am glad you are really enjoying your Z4.
I owned one 2015 and is everything you state in your video. Here in Puerto Rico the driving culture and bad driving habits made me sell mine with just 2012 miles. Why would you ask?
Well I’ll tell you. If you were to get slammed in the rear, the beautiful bailarina dance performed when you open or close your convertible hard top would never ever be the same. I actually became very stressed out every time someone would come close to my rear bumper. My wife would ask me, why I looked stressed out; my reply would be:
Look at this “Short Of Breath” tailgating me at the rear, he is almost on top of my rear bumper. But more than likely you don’t have this problem. Never mind me.....enjoy your beautiful Z4.
Thanks
Frank
I’m 42 & just got my Z4 .. just gotta do it once in a lifetime
Enjoyed your video. I bought my 2012 Z4 2 weeks ago with 23,000 on the clock. Black with red leather seats. Amazing car and I totally get the fun you are having. I'm having it too. Thanks for the advice about ppf
Man, thank you for sharing this... Keep it up my friend, greetings from Serbia :)
Great video, love your enthusiasm.... I want one!
Great vid new sub from Cairo, Illinois, United Snakes of America 💪🏿💪🏿
Dude, I got my Z4 after watching one of your Videos one year ago. Exactly the same model/engine/colors. Now that I'm moving from GER to the UK I'm going to lease my beauty to a friend. Though I'm about to head to the Nürburgring tomorrow for one last trip, I already feel guilty leaving my Z4 with someone else. Its such a great car and its looks - amazing. Gonna watch your videos whenever I'm going to miss mine! Cheers from Bonn...or Reading after Monday
there is a red one in bornheim looks pretty cool
I got the same but with red leather interior, black kidney grilles. Agree it's the best looking BMW
I want to be this happy, just bought one here in the US
I had 2005 Z4 and loved it in the summer, will defo buy another someday
I have a 2011 BMW Z4 s drive 30i and I love it, it's a fantastic sports car!
I have one as well and people still stare and it’s 2024!🤷🏾♂️
Great video mate!
It's Joel thanks Joel!
Great video bro. I'm a Z4///M owner currently and have had a Z4 in some shape or form for the last 6 years. I still look back 👍🏾.
Loved the review! was quite fun, pretty much sold me on getting it now
Amien Phillips Wow, thanks a lot for the comment! You should definitely get one, great car!
@@ZimbaMotoring You're welcome! It's between the Z4 35i & e93 335i, but decided now I don't need backseats.
Do you still have the car 2 years after the 2 years? Do the seats do any sort of reclining at all? Can 2 small people fit in 1 seat? #AskingForAFriend
Amien Phillips e89 35i is a great car, great engine! I still have the car, it’s brilliant. The seats do recline, but to be honest not sure if you can fit 2 people on one seat. They are quite slim and snug seats.
Very simple and nice explanation. You are a nice down to earth person too
I own this beautiful car also,but a 2014, Black over Red with the M package with the turbine wheels, it lacks a beefier sway bar , too much front over steer, it also needs better brakes, and a Dinan ECM upgrade will help and she'll be perfect!
Nes just to let you know your enthusiasm and constant luv for all things Z4 today made me go and buy a blue E89 Z4 35i so let your BMW buddies know, so hopefully they support you with access to more BMW products....its stuff like this that counts, I reckon they should give you 10 days living with a M3 CS what do you think!!??? lots of cool video's. I didn't buy the new one just released because truthfully, I don't like it's looks or otherwise...Juliane Blasi designs are just wicked, in a different league.. to Calvin Luk..... I think the 507 was the greatest BMW roadster every shaped and you can see many E89 influences from it without making it look retro. I now have another blue crew member to join my C7 RS6 Avant in the garage at home. If I am smart enough I might even put some video together.... happy sunny days....
Alan Hunt Wow this is the best comment I’ve ever received! Thank you so much, means a lot Alan! So glad you went and bought one, you won’t regret it. Where are you based? Are you on Instagram?
@@ZimbaMotoring Nes the good and bad of that is no I am not on Instagram, but can be easily changed for you, but I am based in Australia so maybe I can hook up with some very cool video footage as I live 4 minutes walk to a very sandy beach and have an entire peninsula of beaches to share with you, let's spread the Z4 luv together. I used to live where you live currently back in the 80's.... so I know your patch pretty well... I have to go and collect this car, so it will be transported 4000km back to me...sounds like a raw video in itself... I will also plan to ship the car to europe and do a cross continental journey through the alps etc....so there is a lot going to happen... this Z4 has only 8000 miles on it... but will have a lot more with me...
I’m in the market 4AZ4 and your video was helpful. Thx
Great video! I love my Zed 4 as well.
Re: cup holders, they added an extra one in the states that plugs into the side of the center console .... because Americans love their cup holders.
Yeah, I was wondering why he didn't have the "real cupholder" on the passenger-side like in mine.. must be something they did for us slovenly Americans, but I'm glad they did :)
Great car...have mine for 6 years now...did an exhaust upgrade and it sounds awesome!!!
I've had my '09 E89 sDrive35i for about a bit over year now and still love it. The first thing I did was add a Stage 1 Aggressive tune from COBB to bump up the power, and then disconnected the vacuum powered baffle on the passenger muffler. The tune also adds some additional overrun crackles and burbles, which sounds amazing, but I'd still like to change out the exhaust at some point.
The car is looking fresh,awesome video bro
I agree those model years are the best looking Z4's made....When I was looking for a sports care I looked hot & heavy at the Z4 and 350Z but to me the best looking sports car period is a Porsche so I ended up buying a 99 Porsche boxster and absolutely love the looks and it is a dream to drive.
Nice editing, nice music, great content, thanks for this!
Well, you can put the roof up from outside if you have the Carly App. You just put the key into the door lock and turn to lock and hold the key.
The car can be coded to close the Convertible Top & Windows Up with the key, outside the car... It is done like you said by holding the Lock Button down on the Key Fob.
Same goes for the closing of the windows & sun roof with keyfob on an E90 or E92.
HOWEVER, an option needs to be changed by many call coding or basically just changing options that arent able to be changed in the car without normal methods. A coder will use with a K/Dcan(OBD2) to USB cable and a PC laptop. It takes 10 minutes to do and is easy and very straightforward. You can also change some other settings like some cool options in the I drive, digital speedo, ASD off, etc...
Simba got his own motoring channel? Word? Mufasa would be proud.
Greetings from new Zealand bro..nice car 😀😀😀
I like the E89, but for me the E86 shape did it for me. Ever since they came out I've been wanting one. I had an M Coupe for 12 years and sold it to get a Red 2007 3.0ltr si. I bought it in 2017 and still love it. I use it everyday and it still looks mint. I have made a few changes to it like black alloys and black roof to give it a meaner look. Like you said in the video after years owning it you still look around to view the car as you walk away 👍.
Great video -- your enthusiasm shines through - just look at your face when powering up through the gears !....... Enjoyed it thanks!
Good job fellow Bimmer! Just got a 2016 S35I in black on black, it's so Kool!!
Z4's are fun :) I own a 2006 E85 Z4 with the 2.5i engine, it has 34,000 miles on it and full-service history and drives like a new car :) I have to disagree, the E85 looks better, I am sure the new E89 is a much more refined drive though and does not scare the pants off you like the E85 ;) Have fun with the car :)
6 years with mine, I complete agree with all your points !
This is one happy guy, That makes me happy
The roof will go up with the remote. Look for a BMW dealer to see what's up with your keyfob of car programming. And yes, in my personal opinion, the nicest looking car I ever had.
You’re a really likeable man Nez! Great video and great channel
I have a 2003 Z4 and I’m think of upgrading to one of these newer models. They’re gorgeous.
I am really stuck between an abarth 124 or a z4, the z4 is more for money but the sound and looks of the abarth 124 are beautiful and I love it. Definitely learning toward the z4 after giving this a watch
The only convertible car that looks absolutely gorgeous in both top-up and top-town modes equally.
I was exceptionally disappointed to hear the new one will be a cloth-top only. Yea sure hard-top convertibles have their big downsides but . . . I mean look at it! The best-looking BMW hands-down. The only car I would ever consider looking past every single BMW ownership downside to get.
What downside for a hard top convertible dude?
@@christiano8088 Well for me it is mostly that it has many of the same downsides to a soft-top (such as less structural rigidity, points of failure in various weather-proofing seals and the added failure-point of a mechanical moving roof), and then amplifies them because it is not a "Soft" top, so if something happens to it, it's not only harder to fix due to being similar composition to the actual body of the car and not closer to a fabric, but is far more expensive, with (very likely) more moving mechanical points in a proprietary system compared to a traditional soft-top, as hard panels require more engineering and planning to make work around each other than flexible soft-tops.
Ad on top of that I just dislike the extra space the convertible systems take that could be used for other things.
You actually can get the roof back up with the remote, press and hold close button (BMW logo), wait and see...
Good vid +1 mate. Z4 is a head turner that's for sure. Where I live in West Yorkshire, I've not seen a Z4 for over 2 years, but I see quite a few Audi TT around.
I agree with you that this is a Unique car in de bmw line. Not only do I recommend this car. Driving a roadster in general is something you must experience.
Nice video !!! Great car !! I like your enthusiasm and I can understand why.You sound like a great guy. I, myself, have a 35is ,white with black leather and aluminium trim same as yours.19 inch wheels , sport suspension, extended light package etc...all the bells and whistles (comes standard on the 35is models) You should consider getting one. You'll love it. When I'm out driving it's always a toss up as to listening to the great sound system inside the cabin or listening to the engine roar on the outside. Happy motoring
what year is this one of yours.. nice video, nice cheery guy...not smug or obnoxious like so many others on here, also your sound track is great and never over bearing...very well done.
alan gardiner thanks a lot Alan! Really appreciate the kind words! Mine is a 2015! Are you looking to get one?
Qué envidia sana me da tu coche. Me alegro por ti.
Excellent, excellent review. I'm now a subscriber
8:50 hell yeah! vroom vroooooom vroooooooooooom!
My z4 35i stops the convertible top from coming down as I’m driving and I see that yours continues it motion, im a little jealous about that 🤣
Get yourself the Carly app and their adapter! You can code your car to let you close the roof with the remote and raise the speed where you can operate it to 30 mph along with many, many other cool features. It's one of the best things I've done for my E89.
Just got the 2.0 Sdrive from my sister with the same color and rims and its real fun especially when its a little bit wet i can drift around the corner or make 180° U-Turn also the exhaust sound is fun..think i will go myself for the m2 f87 as my next car
great review.. you can tell youre truly passionate and concur with all of your sentiments.. do more reviews!
I'd get an antenna stubby, coilovers, front lip, rear diffuser, & swap out the stock airbox.
Great vid - thinking about buying one of these. Would have been good to know a bit more about which engine this has, and your servicing costs over the 2 years… but man, the shape of yours so much better than anything in BMWs current lineup.
was looking at new Z4 vids, and it ended up suggesting yours. Funny thing is, your Z4 looks much better at the front. Looks like it will be a future classic. I think the front lights on the new model are downright ugly.
Oh snap man the M3 convertible is great and different great and different I had one, Looking to get a Z4 I want the 2011 cause it's just a beautiful design. But am seriously happy with my 335i wirh x drive. You've got a beautiful car.
Looks far better looking than the new z4 replacement, you can actually tell it's a beamer.
