Great car for summer days.
I have not had any problems, it is a great small car, 2 seater. Performance is good, heated leather seats with navigation. Only thing is that tires are expensive to replace. Very low profile, great car for summer but must be stored in winter months. Love the red seats.

My dream car! After raising my family, my z4 was a purely selfish pleasure!
I love my z4! It is my 4th BMW. I will always be a BMW owner! I have never had any mechanical issues with any of my different BMW models over the last 30 years. My local dealer is wonderful and has always taken care of any minor issues I might of had. Before I retired I drove 30 miles a day to and from work. There were times in my commute that if I had not been driving a BMW, I know I would have been in major crashes. At least twice, my car saved my life. Nothing handles like a BMW! I loved all my different BMW model cars for different reasons. My favorite model is my z4! My children are grown and this car is my dream car! It is so much fun to drive!!

It's well built and high quality
I like the style and performance, but I don't like the costs for maintenance and parts.

Nothing It's an awesome little car.
Wheel squeaks when turning. Other than that it drives just fine. I think it happens when the car gets hot.
