Had a 335i coupe for a week, and then this beauty (loaner cars):



It's such a blast to drive with the top down. Fully loaded 2011 Z4 (60K sticker) with only 1500 miles on it.

 

WTF is wrong with the 550i that its in the shop that long?!

I love my buddies Z4.

 

I had bubbles develop in the RFT tires. I have wheel insurance though and the tires are on national backorder.

It's a huge PITA and everyone on the bimmerforums are
complaining about the huge fail on BMW using those specific runflats.

 

White/red really is an amazing color combo.

 

For the money I never quite understood the Z3 or Z4 when the Boxster is available with better handling and more cargo space.

 

^^^ i imagine thats why you dont see many on the road.

 

I've never driven any Porsche. Always been curious though.

 

Damn Crazy your friends Z4 is awesome. To be exact every BMW in that picture is

 

for awhile, all i wanted was a z4. i came very close to pulling the trigger on a 2008 Z4 3.0si 6 months ago. Docs in hand and everything. The ride wasnt exhilarating by any means though. and there are no creature comforts really. its as basic as could be.

You could pick up mint 2008 CPOs for 26-29k...esp. in the northeast...which is a hell of a better deal than 60k+ on a new one. but then again, theres a huge discrepancy in what the two different gens offer.

P.S., the new Z4 pricing is on overload due to tech packages. its answers the question that nobody asked...a 60k vert that doesnt have the driving style of other comparably priced verts. sales confirm this...last time i checked, it was the second worse selling car - relative to its expectations.

 

Hell ya!

Heres the write up for it but it looks way better in person.

beautiful

 

Great looking Z4.

 

oh no! the custom paint on the roof says "Do'nt give up"

Ouch. Dumb stencilers.

 

I've always been in love with the Z4. Current and previous gen. Sucks that your new 5 already has to be in for service.

 

OMG that's f-ing beautiful!

 

This picture has so much win.

My aunt went and test drove a Z4. She was between that and the new SLK's but after the test drive, she definitely wants the Z4.

 

damn that Z4 sits (and looks) nice. NICE setup.

the M3's look nice also.

 

This must explain the crazy lease rates we heard on TCL.

82% residual 24mo at 10000miles/yr. One guy talked about his deal - no cash, less than 400$/month for a Z4 sdrive35is.

I would prefer a Boxster but they are nowhere these rates.

 

Good lord, that Z4 is one sexy car. It's absolutely perfect

 

I would have thought the RL would have topped the longest list

 

And how is the Camry Hybrid on the list? Those things are everywhere around here.

 

no cash at <400 mo on a sdrive35is?? no way. its bad - its not that bad. if the car was selling well, those rates would be exceeding 700/mo same terms.

 

I love the looks of the Z4, but holy shit they cost as much as a Boxster does? as in, an sDrive35isfkljas costs as much as a Boxster S?

To mix it up even more, the last reviews I watched/read of this current gen Z4 were mixed. Sounded more like a small droptop cruiser than a sporty roadster a la Boxster. I think I'd go with the P-car if they're close enough in price.

 

I saw a fully loaded used 2011 Z4 35is with 600 miles for $60k in Alpine White with red interior. I was contemplating getting it. Now I want one again.

 

For the Z4M from Top Gear. Compared to the Boxster S:

yup, its a 60k cruiser. driving dynamics are not much different than a 335 vert.

the 08 3.0si's in manual are fun little cruisers for high 20s/low 30s. you could also get a last gen Z4M roadster with almost no miles for about $25k less than a new gen Z4sdrive.

BTW - the new Z4 interior is by far my favorite among the entire BMW lineup. the dash organization is perfect. i used to go to sleep with the brochure when i was shopping for a first gen CPO.

 

< $30k, CPO Z4 3.0si, 5k miles.

Meh... that's the old body style.
The new one looks so much hotter.

 

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like the exterior aesthetics of the Z4. The hood line is way too long for the car especially when the trunk line is taken into account.

 

no doubt. its also more than double the price...

 

I'm not a big fan of the new one either. BUT - I love the way that one is setup in the pic. it's the upgrades that make that car.

and, it makes me like it more, overall.

 

Interesting how he never told us which one was actually faster on the track. While all the wheel spin and drifting is neat, what I took from his analysis was the BMW is more likely to make wreck.

The only way to really understand the way P-cars drive is to drive them. Their design concept with flat 6 boxers being mounted midship or in the rear is so far different from everything else.

 

Oh yes, thank you for that reminder. I love the Z4 interior. I'm not completely sold on that combo, I like black/red or black with aluminum trim but together, it clashes very slightly. Still look great though, I like that the design has more flair than the typical BMW interior.

Went and tried to build my own, they offer alcantara + leather interior

but it only comes in black/yellow

 

hmmm... its call the citrus package. lol. NEVER heard of it...and NEVER expected BMW to offer such a thing.

That middle M3 is perfect.
