BMW E89 Z4 35i: Most Fun $18,000 Can Buy

[@market_car]

I recently made an update to this video, with 21 reasons why you should buy the Z4 - You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2WzfHWBbNhnfLM By the way, I’m setting a goal for this channel to reach 5,000 subscribers by the end of this year. You know what to do to help! 😉 Thank you!! 😁

I own E85 2004 Z4, the car is so beautiful

[@cornel-lazar]

The Z4 E89 is arguably BMW’s most beautiful car of the last 40 years. I have the 28i in red and it’s got plenty of power and roar despite being a 4cylinder turbo. Definitely keeping my E89 - not gonna let that one go.

[@market_car]

Could not agree more! The 28i is probably the best engine in that car in terms of having the most fun and not going too fast

[@thepericlesof8449]

Yea dont make the same mistake I did. When Covid hit I had to sell my 28i. Worst decision I ever made. It's somehow appreciated in value since then. I so miss that car

[@jamesdelgado2009]

What are all your thoughts on getting a pre owned 2011 35i s drive z4?

[@davidt8087]

@@market_car you said the N54 revs fast? Uhm no. I remember even back in 2015 when I drove an n54, they Rev very slowly. Even compared to the n55. The b58 goes through 1st gear in less than 1 second, 2nd gear in 1.2-1.3 seconds, 3rd gear is longer at 2.7 seconds, etc. It revs really fast which is why b58 cars tuned always beat n54 cars tuned that have more hp. If I remember correctly doesn't thr n54 flat out 1st gear take at least over 2-2.5 seconds?

[@joeg778]

Got the 30i z4 from this era myself. I have been trying to ‘sell’ it for a couple of years. Truth is it’s impossible to let go cause it’s as close to perfection as it gets. It’s turned bad days at work into a good day by the time I get home in just a short drive! Truly underrated vehicle but it’s good cause you don’t see many on the roads. Such an accurate and honest review! You got a subscriber from me.

[@market_car]

Hey Joe, thanks for the comment! Do you have a manual? I think that makes it an even more fun potentially. Glad to see someone else have as great of an experience as I have. Cheers!

[@raidden-1583]

@@market_car I do have the 23i version manual. It's indeed really good except for the 1 to 2 shifts which can be tricky to do correctly. It's one of these cars which have a 1 to 2 that can really be messy if not done reaaally perfectly or slowly. I would not regret having the automatic for a 35i tho, I can barely use all the 6 gears in road conditions (so, without going at speeds that would endanger others), so with a more powerful thing than the 23 (maybe 30 would still be good it's not that much more powerful), you probably can't get as much fun with the transmission. I'm pretty sure I'd feel frustrated if I had to stop at third or fourth gear

[@tjmasters7532]

Love, love, love my 2014 E89 Z4 35i... Every time I walk up to it just impressed by the looks. Lots and lots of positive comments from people on the street. 40 degrees in Chicago and have the top-down windows up with heat on full, with jacket on, plenty warm enough. There is a feature that if the roof is down and you need to get into the trunk hold the trunk button on the remote and it'll put the roof half up and unlock the trunk. Once trunk is loaded press and hold the remote unlock button and roof will retract again. In the winter, if running into the store, turn engine off, press and hold the left fan button and heater will stay on for about 15 minutes keeping the car warm. My wife and I have driven it from Chicago to West Palm Beach Florida, recently drove from Chicago to Winston/Salem, NC with a friend. I am 6'1" he is 6'7", leg room is pretty decent. Road noise is a issue though.

[@davidt8087]

I have the new z4 m40i. Tuned to 440-450wheel and 500wtq. Corners better than my m2 comp and f80 m4 used to and sets better lap times and stays FAR MORE PLANTED and looks WAY WAY better than those, and is on par with a g80 m4 in terms of handling and cornering, but beats it in looks and how fast it feels due to it being lower, less weight, shorter height, length, and wheelbase but being as wide as a new m4 or even a new 5 series

[@jamesdelgado2009]

First off, excellent video! Subscribed! I own a 2014 Valencia Orange 28i with the Hyper Orange interior. I bought it for my wife in 2017 with 11K miles and in perfect condition. It is really a striking roadster, she loves it. Plenty of power for us and I think its styling will hold up better over the years than the G29, a great car in its own right. We especially love the E89's retractable hardtop. We feel it adds a level of sophistication that the G29, as nice as it is, just doesn't have. We've test-driven a G29 Z4 and although the higher level of build quality is very evident in everything you see, touch, and hear, we prefer the proportions of the E89 Z4 and feel that having that classic British roadster design, it will age very gracefully. We intend to have it for many years to come. Edit: I will say this, having driven both the 35i and 35is and the 28i, the greater power of the larger engine is intoxicating. I could get used to that for sure! However, the turbo four best suits our needs, and since my wife is the primary driver, she really has all the power she needs, too much really she says, LOL. One benefit to the 28i is slightly better weight distribution. Not a big deal but I notice slightly livelier handling, probably due to less weight up front and damn near 50/50 distribution. Also, maintenance, which I do on all of my vehicles, is so much easier. Being that it was designed to hold the six-cylinder engine, there is excess room in the engine bay when only stuffed with the four. Finally, it does have better fuel economy but since this is our weekend car, really that was not much of a selling point for us but it does go farther on a tank of gas if that is something you value. We take our Z on long road trips. Due to the folding hard top, the trunk must be utilized as efficiently as possible. To do this we purchased customized luggage that takes up all of the available space with the top stored.

[@donsirsimon]

I totally agree on the shift paddle design. Its absolutely superior to +/- design. You can actually shift up or down with one hand. Do it while turning and the steering wheel isnt straight. Its sad that Bmw moved away from it and towards simpler +/- design... even on that same e89 Z4 after facelift/ refresh.

[@market_car]

Oh wow I didn't know they changed that for the LCI but I looked it up and it's true, honestly it's probably not that bad because you could use the actual shifter to go up/down with one hand but I agree with you I still prefer this

[@donsirsimon]

@@market_car yes you can use the shifter, but i was thinking about times when your hand isnt free. For example you have a coffee cup in your hand. That happens. Especially in e89 as its cupholders under the armrest arent ideal. But yea z4 35i is awesome. Owned one for 6 years now. The longest time i have ever kept any car around.

[@tbvjqor123]

@@donsirsimon i have LCI 35IS and I wish I had that paddle shift. I think it looks unique! Mine looks every other German paddle shifter lol

[@HenleyBailey]

Sad that BMW didn't just let the driver decide how the paddles work through software since they're basically just switches.

[@davidt8087]

No its not. It's stupid. Bmw is in Europe where people watch ACTUAL skilled driving like formula 1 and not nascar. They go on the tracks not drag strips or just drive on the road and go 5 over the limit and think they're "skilled" drivers by just going in a straight line. When you're on the track, the left for down and right paddle for up is the best way and it trickled down from fornula 1. I remember driving a bmw with same paddle shifting both down and up, so stupid and pointless. Might as well just have a single paddle not two

I have a 2015 e89 s28i. It's not like the s35i which is more powerful but the s28i can do 0-60 in 5.7 ish sec. It's already plenty fast. Amongst Z4 owners the s20i is sought after as it has the best engine sound of the 4 cylinders. It also is the lightest and best handling. And therefore the sweetest top down leisure cruiser that can togue. The s28i is turboed significantly so is more muted. It is the choice for carving mountain roads quickly. The s30i and above is noticeably heavier and worse at cornering tight mountain roads (togue). But it's power and grip makes up for all that. Each has its place. If you wanna just flex get the lowest variant you can, it sounds good. If you want a togue/mountain road machine get the s28i it's still light-ish but nearly 260hp. If you want a fast GT car get the s30i and above but understand it's going to be heavier up front. Maintenance is very reasonable! Definitely cheaper than Porsche or Mercedes but reliability is just above average ( for a continental car) Finally let's get to the crux, why this over a Cayman/ Boxster? I can tell you this is MORE comfortable than both. It's still sporty enough way more than any passenger car, but the Cayman/ Boxster handling is one level higher. Therefore this car is great to 1. Flex 2. Top down 3. Long distance comfort drive with some mountain carving/ togue jaunts. 4. Daily-able thanks to reasonable maintenance and comfort. 5. Save fuel with the 2 litre 4 cyl. Cheers.

It has some nice options from previous owner like redesign model visual upgrade, engine stage II tuning (400HP), beautiful 19" vossen wheels with pilot 4s tires and a super cool Akrapovic active exhaust which makes this car a truly allrounder. On the flip of the switch you can get really sporty explosive sound from exhaust, or on another press of the button (almost) quiet smooth civil ride. So if you like you can have nice smooth ride experience, or you can have truly explosive sportscar experience.

The most fun you can buy for $8.000 is the E85 Z4 with 3.0 litre straight 6 and manual gearbox. Its 300 kilos lighter to make up for the missing turbo and thx to the cloth roof, the boot is actually usable. You just need to dump the run-flat tyres and use rugular ones. Its also decently reliable, except for casual oil leekages of all sorts. I have one and will not let it go anytime soon.

Your review was really really good mate you earned a subscriber. I was previously deciding to get BMW E63 650i because it's a V8 in the cheapest form and the greatest 6 series for the used car industry. Its absolutely a bargain. Like 350 bhp 500 nm the exhaust note is amazing the design language is timeless but the thing is it doesn't come with paddle shifters as standard and not having a paddle shifters is really a downside for me personally. So I also had Z4 in my list which is a little off my budget as The 650i you can get it in around 25-26 grand USD here in India. You can also get a Z4 around that range but a good one will cost around 30 grand but now I think I'll get the Z4 because of your review. It's an amazing car it's a V6 right ? If I'm worng please correct me. So it's a V6 300 bhp (I don't remember the torque) it's twin turbo the car looks amazing like you can look at this car and say is it really 10 15 years old ? Damn that car is sexy with that little bit of old school retro look. Bmw's design language is absolutely top of the it's timeless. I mean just look at a E46 you can look at that car and wonder how this car is more than 2 decades old ? I only wanted to have a BMW because in my personal opinion they are way better and ahead than their close rivals like Audi and Mercedes. I'm now leaning more towards Z4 and I think I'll get that. Thanks for the amazing review. Keep grinding

[@market_car]

Thanks a lot and I really enjoyed your essay about BMWs

[@whitetiger6814]

The Z4 doesn’t have a V6, but has a Inline 4 or a Inline 6 depending on the model.

[@bleeder1742]

@@whitetiger6814 yes inline 6. I by mistakly said V6 sorry. I'm sure 35is has Inline 6

[@jacopovalentino]

Straight 6... which is a classic BMW engine type. If you go old school: straight 6 for BMW and some British classics as E-type and TR6, V8 for american cars, L4 for Alfa Romeo and Fiats, flat 6 for Porsche, flat 4 for Subaru WRX, v12 for Ferrari...

What are your thoughts about s23i version? Thinking of getting myself one from 2011.

[@market_car]

Pretty much 9:20

[@ImzzyCool]

I have the same car in white and just brings a big smile on my face everytime i see it and drive it. Top down top up equally fun and the best part is the hardtop. Truely a masterpiece 😍. Loved the review and Subscribed💥 Just one question does the check engine light ever go off 🤣🤣 i seem to have it come and go back abd forth always wiring issue or rat bites

[@market_car]

Thanks for the compliments. This particular check engine light was due to bad fuel mixture (think o2 sensor), I just cleared it with a cheap bluetooth obd2 sensor and a random diagnostic app

[@ImzzyCool]

@@market_car pleasure is all mine. Does it come back when you clear it? Mine always comes back in few days🤣 rat bites 🐀 🐁 tripping some sensors

Great car, hope you are enjoying it!

[@shaquilledejager1620]

Bro how is the sound system on this car? Do you think it needs aftermarket speakers?

[@market_car]

Not at all, the stereo is plenty loud and the bass is satisfactory. There are speakers all around the cabin like on the top and bottom of the doors and arround the headrest which give it a really nice sound!

[@paularthur9218]

Hello good video. I wanted to buy on of these I have the e85 3.0si manual but fully prepare for circuit. Kw suspension, 6 piston breaks, silent block powerflex , h&r rolling bar, supersprint exhaust and oz ultraleggerra. When I take it I have a big smile but I want more power like a z4 35i stage 2 mhd, I don’t want to regret my e85 she is unique. I hope you can help me in my choice.

[@market_car]

I think your e85 is too unique to get rid of but you definitely won’t regret getting an e89 especially with the mhd tune. I think you will have a lot of fun with whatever you decide though! Thanks for the comment

[@proreleased6873]

Out of all the bmw’s the Z4s are my favorites but to much problems when u have them for long time but still worth the car

Great video dude, what is your height? I’m 6’5 (1.95) and actually in love with this car but i’m not sure if i will fit.

[@market_car]

I’m like 1.9m, to be honest it does get a bit claustrophobic in there due to the car not having back seats, so nowhere to move the seat back, but I still think you’d fit. Best would be to go out and try sitting in one

[@kamurannaharc6060]

the door is heavy to provide rigidity when closed

I think the door is used as a structural component only in a crash situation

[@zarifrashid8904]

I'm moving to the States soon and I've been saving up for the last 10 years so I could get the z4 after setting down in the US. Since in my country a new Z4 including taxes costs around $180k USD since we pay 300% in taxes for cars. Could you tell me how much a used Z4 will cost near Atlanta since I'm moving there by the end of the year. Loved the video man and subscribed!

Does it not have the m performance exhaust? I have 35is stock and it makes alot of pops compared to the one you are reviewing.

I guess it doesn’t, there are no valves on this one

That particular is not a 2009 car, it's 2012 or later. My car same colour but earlier front bumper. Interesting to see that bumper in that colour.

[@market_car]

You are right it seems like the previous owner swapped the bumper (maybe damaged the original one?) for the facelift one sometime after the facelift came out, didn’t even think about it, thanks for sharing!

Are you suffering with bad suspension? Mine has almost no suspension and not comfortable at all.

[@market_car]

Honestly the suspension isn't that comfortable to begin with (especially if you are running 19" rims. But if it is really uncomfortable I suggest getting the suspension checked out by a mechanic. Could just be worn out from the years. It could improve your ride a lot!

[@davidt8087]

I have the new z4 m40i. Tuned to 440-450wheel and 500wtq. Corners better than my m2 comp and f80 m4 used to and sets better lap times and stays FAR MORE PLANTED and looks WAY WAY better than those, and is on par with a g80 m4 in terms of handling and cornering, but beats it in looks and how fast it feels due to it being lower, less weight, shorter height, length, and wheelbase but being as wide as a new m4 or even a new 5 series

Yep great design, really like it, but in right combo..maybe e85 edges it, apparently better drivers care, more authentic design, and not an updated design as here, although brilliantly executed. Its just slightly fussy but stylish....too stylish 😎?
