Ultimate driving machine of the decade
Definitely the ultimate driving machine. 220000 miles and still running like a champ. Looks can be deceiving

My BMW Z4 is a lot of fun to drive. It is easy to accelerate.
I love that it is a two seater. It is easy on gas. The repairs can be pricey but I love my car.

Inside it has a lot of leg room and is comfortable to drive
It is a convertible silver with red interior. It is a model 2.5 liter. It is a great deal of fun to drive since it has the ability to drive as a manual shifting, even though it is an automatic. It has a large enough trunk in order to get my golf clubs in the trunk. Dislike - with top up it is somewhat difficult in getting in the car.

Beautiful design with minor modifications from year to year.
A very reliable, great handling, fun car to drive. I own the 3. 0 engine; lots of get up and go. I love the brand and would definitely buy another BMW when the time comes. I have owned three - a 320i, a z3, and the current z4. Maintenance at a dealership is expensive, but there is seldom any mechanical issue to deal with.

It's not Bluetooth adaptable so it's not a " smart" car. It wasn't available in 2004.
I love the handling of the car and it's tight turning radius. It's a convertible. I live in Texas. There's plenty of open road & blue skies.

It has a red leather interior and wood-like dashboard.
It is very compact so it can be hard to get in and out of. It requires a lot of maintenance, my husband works at BMW and says there are a lot of recalls. They are prone to oil leaks. Tires and breaks often need replacement. Overall I like my car but will probably be selling it for a newer version. ,

Positive and negative points to owning a BMW Z4.
GPS update issues, expensive part replacement and maintenance costs. Tires are expensive too. Good on gas mileage and great for a leisurely drive. Dependable and reliable for the most part. Represents good quality. Long lasting and durable. Expensive replacement parts.
