Turned 70 in August and after a couple of days of a downer developed a plan. My trusty 1.9tdi Golf had to go. I found a grey 2008 2.0i. 91k. Leather heated seats. Everything works , as does mine with a little care. Changed the plugs to find they were the original ones. 91k ! A joy to drive around town and a pleasure to lose the boy racers on roundabouts. l don`t have to brake. In years gone by - pre divorce - l have had all manner of two seaters but the Z4 kissed me on the lips on first meeting. I think l`m in love.

Thanks for the video. I have the 2.2i and while the performance is not exactly storming like I imagine the 3.0i is the sound of. that small six is great. It is a real character. The running costs are very high if you want to really iron out all the problems. I have really spent but the car is now really smooth. You are right you always get a smile on your face with this car and every journey is an old fashioned driving adventure.

Love the Z and other BMW content, keep it up! Subbed

Great video

I have a 2007 2 litre....150bhp and surprising performance plus 40 MPG...….FANTASTIC !!!

The E85 had an electric steering rack in all applications apart from the Z4m if I'm not mistaken. I've got an 06 2.5si and it's a good enough rack but I'm 90% sure it's electric. Luv and Peace. Just checked it is electric apart from the M.

I have a z3 2.8 99 plate and love it still after years but drinks the Petrol so I have now got a z4 20i 2007 as a daily drive not as quick as my z3 but still great fun and 40 miles to to the galleon make up for the loss.of speed . 👍

Hi bimmertom, my 2003 2.5i has sat nav and the flip up monitor. Has yours got the screen.

Thank you mate for the vid, I find it quit informative. The best thing about the beemer community is that everyone wants to help and they are mostly passionate about the brand!

Very useful

I'm looking for one like yours in an automatic. The 2.5, has a 15mm higher ride height than the 3.0, so should be slightly more comfortable, especially with standard, non run flats. The doors can be adjusted to close the gaps that create wind noise, info on how to do this is on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing.

Very handsome and a nice car .I’m considering one even after I bought a MB SL instead then . Thanks

Been thinking of getting a Z4 for a few months, must be because I am now in my 50's and want some fun Lol. I know the cost of repairs will be higher and probably more frequent than if I just upgraded my current PUG 208 - 5 years old for a newer one say a 1-year-old car, but I look at it like this, if I upgrade to new it is going to cost thousands and be less fun for my budget, the Z4 could be brought for less than the value of my current car and will probably depreciate a lot less, maybe even gain price if I keep it long enough. The savings on not buying a new car and associated depreciation will more than offset the cost of keeping and restoring any of the issues I would get. I am lucky that jobs like changing a clutch, brakes, service and other general repairs are something that I have always been able to do my self :) Looking forward to owning one :) Think I have justified leaving my wife and daughter at home while I have a little driving fun on the weekend ;)

An excellent review! Best I've seen. Was it on run flats?

Is there a lot of rust planning to buy 05 / 06 with 80,000 miles or so

Hello sir, I still enjoy a lot your videos, I am just about to buy an e85 z4, I made my research and I can see that the ride quality is harsh. I am okay with that but it should be my only car and the roads here are of a very bad quality; so the question is: is the ride quality that unbearable for day to day driving?

Its a good idea to buy a bmw z4 with 200.000 kilometres? All the services have been in time

I have a 2004 z4 2.5i should I be putting strictly premium gas?

what is the fuel consuming in / out of city?

Do you still have the Z4? I have been considering one for months but have the usual concerns about buying a 16 year old car and BMW's are notoriously expensive to fix. BUT considering they are sticking around the 3k mark, after owning for a while, do you think the fun/experience you get outweighs the ongoing costs etc? Thank you

I had this same car. It had constant electrical problems that not even BMW could fix. Total nightmare.

Gotta say my biggest complaint is the headlights on dip. They are really really bad. This era of SUVs shining the 2 Xenon glowing orbs of death on badly adjusted dip causes me to emergency brake constantly. I upgraded to the brightest Halfords had to offer and it made very little difference. The lights are so low they go nowhere so driving at night at 60mph when there is any oncoming traffic on a b-road is a pipe dream. Full beams are good but the contrast between the two ruins your night vision for minutes. Luv and Peace.

Nice! I'm considering a 2.5 with a manual, is the 3.0 worth spending the extra cash?

A honda s2000 150000 miles is now $30,000 US dollars. Z4 is $3000-5,000 at 70,000 miles. The value of cars is found at a weird time

Fuck i really had to pay close attention to what you’re saying Bc it’s hard to catch. But good vid man, really tempted to get one of these but am afraid of spending $5k only to spend another $5k on a major repair a few months later. Then I’ll hate myself for not buying a newer car

That fabric hood should be tartan

Just some presentation tips.. do not keep touching your face, never say eeeerrm. If you need to read notes... Write big and put them out of shot. Please keep trying. Also the accent is very strong.

It is very difficult to flatten your accent a bit i guess ...

Found an Honest review at last, I won't be buying one

dude! are you speaking english?

may be you should consider to talk in englisch to your audience , that night be a way to more views

You again? I thought I saw you doing a review on this on a different channel… Could you please speak English or include subtitles? Or actually focus on the subject matter

Great video
