My car is an old toyota corolla, its not even a sports car but its my 1st car bought by hard work. and every day i get into it, it really make's me feel special.^^
I know exactly how you feel - I feel the same about my old Renault Megane coupe (also my first car)...I don't care that it isn't the greatest car on the road; it's mine, and I bought it with money I earned.
so which roadster would you choose for this kind of money? the price is relatively high, but the performance (excluding the more expensive boxster) and the quality are top in its class (no reliability issues on current BMW's and the interior is awesome)
On 35is the 7 speed DCT transmission is standart and on 35i it is optional. On the rest of the Z4 line up, the 6 speed is standart and 8 speed transmission is optional. Correct me if I'm wrong.
All engine's have six cylinders? Even the 20i and 23i four cylinder ones. The must keep the spares in the boot. Such an awesome car though. I think of the Etype when I see it
I would much rather drive the Z4 than the SL550 mainly because of the better technology in this vehicle, and its base price is less than half of that than the base SL550.
In that case, then everyone driving a Ferrari 458 Italia should stop with their lunacy and all purchase Nissan GT-Rs right? Wrong. Because no one care's if it's a second faster to 60mph or can achieve over 200mph, you'll probably never push it past 120 anyway. It's the badge.
No, but Whatcar is a British company, I assure you that, so forgive me for assuming that this British company would have a predominantly British audience (p.s. It does). I may have distilled it down for the ignorance of the previous commenter but yeah, it's not JUST the badge. I'm not your enemy here.
I wish there was a coupe model as I refuse to buy a convertible and am even probably going to go for a Peugeot instead or just a different model bmw lol
in europe the nissan costs €41 and the z4 €49 which is not that huge of a difference especially if you also consider that the bmw will hold its value better. and the nissan's interior is very cheap looking plus personally i really dont like the looks of the 370z.
Yes sir, is a very good sports car, not a race car...I have my z4 si 3.0 with the N52, the last atmosferic six cilinder engine produced in BMW with plenty 258hp, may be one of the best engines ever produced for BMW.
@Commendatore Had my 2009 23i, 8 years, now 90k miles. No engine or transmission problems. Known faults, tail lights let in water, easy fix. Roof solenoids best changed at 5-6 years. A couple of lose connectors. Manufacturing fault in wiring can cause boot latch problem. Go to the z forums to fix.
Recently sat in friends latest MX5. Top of window frame level with my eyes. The interior seems cheap and plain. Top of doors colour coded with the outside. Get that on cheap cars like Fiat, not even padded.
@@flybobbie1449 this exact car is equipped with an automatic gearbox. Which can be used as "manual" but it's not the same as if you have the clutch and you shift gears like that... -.-"
I had both, the e85 looks 'naked' in the inside, i prefer the newer looks, maybe cause i hd the e85 a long time and the e89 is my current ride but the e85 was much sportier und better to ride in curves

Great job! 👍🏾
Really?

stupid review... "the good news is that the roof is electrically operated" how the hell wd you operate this type of roof manually ??
haha :D soft top roofs are offered manually in some cars
standard manual gearbox when in the video you can clearly see the auto one
HAHA! "Standard 6-Speed manual gearbox" and he's using an automatic in manual-mode HAHAHA
Does it have three pedals? Yes? Then it's a manual!
No. The three pedals would be gas, brake, and clutch.
@@azmike3572 uh, but it doesn't have three pedals. So that means it is not a manual by your own stated rules.
Love my Zed

Halil ŞAHİNER 8 Speed came with the 4 cylinder
Pick up a 2008 3.0si for a song (around $26K) and you'll have a Z4 with generous trunk space and faster than all but the current top of the line.
BMW should have made a true ///M version with the out going V8
All engine's have six cylinders? Even the 20i and 23i four cylinder ones. The must keep the spares in the boot. Such an awesome car though. I think of the Etype when I see it
23i is six cyl.
And the 2.0 replaced the 2.3. Only 6. when introduced. 4s came out in 2011.
the slk is very nice as well but its not cheaper than the z4 and all the aquivalent models are slower!
i like this car i just wish them front kidney grilles were a tad smaller
LOL they certainly didn't get smaller haha
I would much rather drive the Z4 than the SL550 mainly because of the better technology in this vehicle, and its base price is less than half of that than the base SL550.
all the z4 apart the 35is came with 6 speed manual
can anyone tell me the dimensions of the ski hatch?
No. No one.
Can a owner confirm, I thought it was four Airbags not six as What Car say at 2:47 ish...????
I would say 4, the usual plus one each seat. Non near roof.

It's good I think I have to buy this

My dream car denifly 💖
All z4 are beautiful :)
I wish there was a coupe model as I refuse to buy a convertible and am even probably going to go for a Peugeot instead or just a different model bmw lol
Excuse me?
What car??
What a car!!!!
What year is this z4?
Well it was published in 2012 so the 2014 version.
These are the 2009 - 1012 models, the straight 6 engine models. 2012+ started using turbo 4 cylinder engines.
***** I guess so, but it is only available in its twin turbo format for the 335i. They no longer use the naturally aspirated I6 engines in the Z4.
***** Do your research, yes it was. 2.5 and 3.0i was both naturally aspirated.
obv.you don't say that in the car you are reviewing you have the manual one but maybe someone watching this can think that that's the manual one XD
It's not a Solstice, mate. lol.
6 cylinder ? I seem to have lost two !
The 2 litre is 4 cylinder
in europe the nissan costs €41 and the z4 €49 which is not that huge of a difference especially if you also consider that the bmw will hold its value better. and the nissan's interior is very cheap looking plus personally i really dont like the looks of the 370z.
and the quality and heritage.
1500kg of sport car? please
Yes sir, is a very good sports car, not a race car...I have my z4 si 3.0 with the N52, the last atmosferic six cilinder engine produced in BMW with plenty 258hp, may be one of the best engines ever produced for BMW.
It is more a gt-car a cruiser. And i enjoy my z4 3.0 ❤❤
Good reliable record, I m done, I quit, what ?!

Hi fly bobby, which z forum do you go and learn troubleshooting? I have also the 23i. Its a great car
This car costs around twice as much as an MX-5; is it twice as good? I don't even think it is as good!!
Eric George you cant compare them imho
Put them side by side, the MX5 looks like a toy car.
You're right. Whenever i pull up next to Miata, i feel like i came across a kid in a playground riding in his batter toy car.
Recently sat in friends latest MX5. Top of window frame level with my eyes. The interior seems cheap and plain. Top of doors colour coded with the outside. Get that on cheap cars like Fiat, not even padded.
@@flybobbie1449 I'd sure have one.
thats adorable
thats why you buy it used bro :)
who else is here cause of ifunny?
No one.
Loser!
Code for: You don't have enough money for it.
Standard 6speed manual gearbox? Really??! 😂
Yes, auto and dct available.

❤️🔥
i think the previous Z4 is better looking
my yuri....
cute pic
Not a bad car. :)
Almost a beautiful car - the grill just doesn't "fit".
you should work harder, or get a new job.
yawwwwn
🇩🇪
the newer z4s are UGLY. the e85s are sexy. and good resell value?? naww
I had both, the e85 looks 'naked' in the inside, i prefer the newer looks, maybe cause i hd the e85 a long time and the e89 is my current ride but the e85 was much sportier und better to ride in curves
are you stupid? e89 is far better looking than e85.
