Never selling mine!!



With all the Z4M Vs. Boxster S talk (for the time period), if you've never seen this top gear segment it's pretty fun. There's also one that puts a Z4M up against a 2006 Viper and they're even around a track. It's another Top Gear episode, but was with Clarkson. We all know the disdain he has for American cars (he doesn't like the Z4M really either lol), and I'm not sure I buy the bit about the Z4M being as capable on track as a Viper, but it was fun to watch. ;D http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1a...4-m-roads_auto

I just listed my Z4 M coupe for sale and its the cheapest in the country it seems. Maybe I should keep it and mod it.

Holy cow ! No one mentioned 2007 E92/N54. I have it. As long as you have some kind of warranty this thing rocks. Under 75k miles you will get third party warranty for around $1k per year. Factor in it retails around $15k. Having owned this I no longer lust for m240 or m2 but have set my sights on a 918 or 718 cayman s..It's that good.

Because it's not a sports car.

A sport sedan no matter how nice/fast just isn't a sports car. I have both, and can tell the difference. I think you can too if you're looking at 718 cayman S.

I'm assuming the 918 you have there is a typo, or else you'd be in the wrong forum...

I had 2008. I sold it when I bought e92 m3. But I still regret, the most characteristic car I have driven.

Oh man, these are fantastic (despite a name that could have been from a random generator).

I am looking to get a used Z4 next year; but possibly buy late this year. Want to spend about $15 - $20 CDN. Is their a particular model year(s) i should strive for? Or stay away from for reliability....Any thought appreciated. Doing the research is part of the fun.

Are you looking at a Z4 or a Z4M? Those are two totally different animals. They only produced the M for 3 years and not very much had changed between those 3 years.

Otherwise, here's what googling found => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Z4

I didn't get the M Coupe because I drive too much for the maintenance requirements of the S54, so I got the Z4 3.0 (I love the N52 - I have two). The Z4 Coupe whether in M guise or not, is one damned nice sports car. The chassis is so frickin stiff, it makes the car special regardless of the engine.

I would be happy with a Z4. Was there a particular year it got better or worse? I'm thinking of roughly 2006-2008 years.

I drove my e92 coupe to around 95K miles before I picked up a Z4is. Sure the e92 is really fun but the engine and cooling issues that plagued my car ultimately spoiled my experience.
