2003 BMW Z4 3.0i Review
ProsReasonably fast, totally comfortable to drive in, more trunk space than most 2 seater convertibles (really), Well designed controls and the auto transmission is one of the best I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Also, the gas milage rocks for a "sporty car" I average 24 mpg. ConsIt's not an M3. If you get the 2.5i of this model year I'd suspect it would feel a bit underpowered. The 3.0i feels "just right" to me.

It's The Same Old Story, You Know The Score. I Work At The U And Roll The Z4. — It's been a long time since I've had a car I really and truly loved. I've heard a few complaints about the body styling compared to the Z3 but honestly I really like the lines on this thing. It's a beast. The inline six purrs and and hums, pulling you through traffic effortlessly. I test drove a lot of convertibles before settling on this one including the Honda S2000, Porsche Boxster, Mazda Miata (mx-speed edition), Nissan 350z, and the Pontiac Solstice. Of the ones I drove, this is the one I could really see as a capable daily driver with plenty of ability to have fun when the mood strikes me. The auto drops in about 6 or 7 seconds, plenty of time to go topless at a stoplight. For sheer driving excitement and engagement I'd say the Porsche beats it. When you're driving the boxster that's what you're doing. You're DRIVING it. I definitely recommend changing away from the stock run flat tires as they will seriously dampen your enthusiasm for the car, but with good tires, this thing will move. When I test drove this car, I got it up on the highway and there was no discernable difference in the handling of the car or in engine noise between 40 and 100 mph. I think that was what originally sold me on it.

Love My Z4 — Our Z4 is beautiful to look at, great to drive, but our move to Florida will make it impossible to enjoy. We only put 12,400 miles on this almost new machine.........and really do not want to part with it. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Very Comfortable And The Top Down With The Heated Seats On Fall Color Tour Can't Be Beat. — Picked this beauty up on a lease trade out of Memphis, TN. Had a buddy (thanks Pete W.!) fly Sharon and i down on a Sunday morning, did the deal on the car, and drove home 700 miles- by 11pm that night! This car is very high on the fun factor and with winter wheels and tires, was formidable in the snow-even to a buddies of the tracks snowmobile cabin:) Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsQuick, good looking, great handling. ConsFirm ride, not overly practical, high insurance group (19)

Looks Even Better With Red Leather! — A great roof down, wind-in-your-hair motor. Very quick, handles like a dream and has head turning looks. If you can live with the firm ride on a day-to-day basis as well as the lack of rear seats then it is a cracker to own. | ||

ProsFast opening/closing convertible top, good power with good fuel economy, eye catching ConsSoft top causes big blind spots, not for larger individuals, could be considered expensive

Bimmer Zed 4 — There wasn't much I disliked about the car, it's been the favorite I've ever driven, a real eye catcher. It was good on gas as well so I didn't fill up all that much, very fun to drive, just went zoom. The top was also very fast to open or close. Well just about anything else was great, from the hidden and stylish cup holders to the surprisingly good trunk space. | ||

ProsWell, it is my first day so I will hold off saying more for 1,000 miles or so. ConsTight fit getting in and out, unless the top is down. Comfortable inside at 6' 200lbs

An Experiment In Sport Speed — Too early to say, but I will return. The car is clearly beautiful. Was looking at MBZ 230 alternative. My son made the final choice as I wanted to have that experience. 3rd year law school and all. I will report back and probably have some questions. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsGreat car for a reasonable price! ConsNothing!

Z4 3.0i — Awesome car overall. No problems at 80k! Handles like it's on rails and it's very quick! No repairs except for scheduled oil changes. I get up to 30 mpg's on the highway which is great for a sports car! Interior is awesome and the fit and finish is great. Seats feel great too. The fun factor is the reason you buy these cars. Lots of looks, lots of grip and plenty of power with the low weight of the car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Great Fun To Drive Roadster — With it's smooth power through all gears and great handling this is a wonderful car to tear up the winding country roads. A little hard to get into unless the top is down. Not fun to drive with top up feels cramped, though there is ample leg room and seats are comfortable. Kicking sound system Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsHandling, acceleration, fun factor Consbad ride on rough roads, 2 seats, smallish trunk

Fun And Sexy — I love this car. Performance is great, its a canyon carver so the suspension is alittle hard, but there is no body roll in the turns. Brakes are where you need them and the steering is exact, almost toy like. Some my like that feel and others don't. You sit low to the ground for that roadster feel and the body lines are to die for. its gets about 21 city and 29 highway so not to bad, for a sports car. Oil changes can be expensive, but changed only after every 10k miles. I always but 91, alittle more expensive but worth it. Fun to drive? Hell to the yes Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
