The BMW Z4 is the firm's best roadster yet -- and it gets a folding metal hard top instead of a cloth roof. It also has smooth, supple suspension, and a chassis that is tuned for comfort. That means the car is slightly less fun to drive quickly than a pure sports car, but it's much more relaxing to use on a daily basis. The new roof shuts out more engine, wind and tyre noise from the cabin, but it eats into boot space when it's folded down.

I love the feeling of pleasure in this car. I worked in a BMW Pre Owned dealership last year as a lot attendant. I drove every type of car. But I really love the Z4.

I'm tall and I don't give a shit if it's considered a "girls' car." It looks damn good and is a blast to drive. It's also more comfortable and "practical" than a straight-up sports car. More importantly, you can get it in a manual configuration. To me, at least, it sells itself.

I have one of these and they are great fun especially in sport mode with the roof down. Watching that roof fold into the boot using the key fob never stops being cool. 200bhp around country lanes is plenty adequate. People bitching about it have never owned one. You are unlikely to be disappointed especially with the deals BMW offer these days.

You have taken the words out if my mouth, everytime I arrive somewhere, I need a few minutes to calm down and get my heart beating normally! I got a 2014 black with red interior and even with the top up in the rain its a special feeling.

I like how this guy has to continuously tell people that it's okay if you're a guy and you want to drive this car because it doesn't make you look like a 'hairdresser' and it's a "man's car". If you wanna drive this car, just drive it. If you don't want to, then don't. He definitely doesn't want his masculinity damaged

I had one of these a few years ago, before switching to an AR Giulia Veloce. And although I love the Alfa (best riding car I have owned, so sadly underrated, including on reliability, I rode 80000 km in it without a single issue or even little squirting noise), but I have to admit I regret the brilliant design, exterior an interior, as well as the sturdy build quality of the Z4. In other words, I wish I had a bigger garage... 😀

I’m thinking of buying one of these second hand as they seem to be really cheap these days. My only concern is the fit. I’m 6’5 so not sure how comfortable I will be. I work at a Mazda garage and have drove MX-5s on several occasions and whilst they are lovely cars an I do fit, I don’t fit well and couldn’t justify the lack of space on an everyday car. I like the idea of a convertible for when the weather improves but we’ll just have to wait and see I guess.
