Car Tech - 2013 BMW Z4 sDrive35is

[@superjohn274]

My father used to own one, he bought it in 2013. In around 2016, it was constantly malfunctioning then my father stopped driving it and bought a suv. In around 2019/20 my father decided to sell it. Good old days, this car is basically my childhood, I was eager to visit my grandparents because I could have a ride on this beautiful BMW. It means a lot to me

[@Kaipeternicolas]

The cockpit looks stunning! Nothing to complain about!

[@huyryo]

6:54 that moment when a 65K+ BMW turns into a sub 30K Chevrolet lol

[@mrkevinlui]

What can we expect from CNET doing a car review ?

[@autoxerwgn]

That engine is definitely still the Twin Turbo N54, and not the Twin Scroll N55 that Cooley describes in the video.

[@eberamezcua3643]

This guy is very picky with this amazing car. What the hell is wrong with him!! The BMW Z4 cars are some of the best.

[@minityper]

The dash is one of the reasons i bought one, its what sets it apart from the merc and boxter i tested.

[@istvanbartha7985]

I think the dashboard looks great. My first impression when I started looking for a Z4 was that the dashboard should have straighter lines....But the first time I sat in a Z4 ( also the 2nd time) I thought that the dashboard looked much better than on pictures. Now I have a Z4 e89...and I just love the dashboard.

[@gedaman]

At 6:55 they switched over to the Chevrolet Cruze interior. WTF?

[@lukasdukes]

What the hell why did it switched to the chevy cruze interior I'm confused

[@Robert111]

+Lukas Dukes Why did they done do it? Ain't make no sense to me.

[@GigaChadL337]

z4 is all about her appearance, it's so elegant/gorgeous and incomparable with slk and tt tt looks like a toy car with the hard top down, and slk/slc looks like an entry level car and kinda cheap for driving experience there is no such big difference with her rivals

[@kuaznlau86]

I can't believe he complained about the center console tilted toward drive. n00b

[@SWatchik]

i know it's got its flaws but i do love this car. i think the 28i is the sweetspot (good economy plenty fast enough) and the m-sport trim looks amazing, just have to get the adaptive suspension. but it looks so good in person, way more expensive than it does.

[@BlakeTechnology99]

6:50 shows Chevy MYLINK???? What the hell?

[@junaidzaka2365]

I wish cooley still did these :'(

[@vsultan2840]

Both z4 35i and z4 35is come with the twin turbo engine with dct transmission. Video is incorrect in saying the z4 35is has a single turbo and that the z4 35i has a traditional automatic.

[@colelockridge5816]

No hes correct

[@dylanbond1627]

Cole Lockridge No he's not. The z4 35i and 35is have the N54 twin turbo engine and either the DCT or manual trans (35i only for manual).

[@colelockridge5816]

@@dylanbond1627 z4 35i has 8 speed automatic. Dct is 35is

[@Krezo200]

Cole Lockridge no you are wrong 8 speed were used for the new 4cyl turbo engines All n54 use the dct

[@alirezadaryakesh8405]

عاشقشم.میخرمش😍👊

[@FuscoX4]

Yep, as others have said, the Z4 never got the N55 engine. It's the last car in BMW's lineup with the N54.

[@motoroladroid1001]

Omfg that convertable roof...sooooo awesome! !!!

[@EliteSlayer542]

That's because in cheap cars compromises have to be made, and that gives people things to complain about. In a high end car there usually isn't much you can complain about.

[@olaf2046]

Cooley has reviewed this car in the same model year three times. One time it was blue and the third time it was red again.

[@jamaalkeizer8700]

If you have a full trunk, will the car detect this and NOT put the hardtop down. Or will damage all your coke?

[@ShehzadMir]

I have the same model in 2015. I love it

[@bobwalsh3751]

4:36 the ol' brain hooks

[@macdaddy_jm]

Why did you end up showing a chevy cruze later on in the video?!

[@zachtravers]

So the Z4 35is uses the twin scroll and the 335is uses the old twin turbo?

[@CrialCrial]

"BE careful of these.. Guhhh.." Gotta love Cooley!

[@classclownee]

Nice soundtrack on the start.

[@РоманЛазарев-п1д]

I got really scared at 6:54 seeing this crappy panel. Thankfully it's just an edit mistake

[@josegarcia611]

I'm looking into getting a z4 but what's the difference between a 2013 z4 35i and the 35i M sport? Which is better or what? (No 35is)

[@aaronming8466]

Very nice antenna on the BMW z4

[@dingo5678]

The 35is models come with the n54 which has twin turbos

[@BIG0571]

How did they let they Chevy cruze footage get through?

[@TheBryanNeill]

Cooley is the best reviewer ever!

[@msgui22]

What is the Cruze interior doing in this video?

[@petercostello7683]

I can't see dropping 70k on this when I can get a C7 stingray, Boxster S or the M3 all fully loaded which are by far all better options bmw really needs to rethink their strategy with the Z4

[@10293]

Fantastic, but why do you pretend anyone cares? People like the z4 so get the car you want with your trap shut.

[@Karlsson600]

Peter Costello M3 is irrelevant, because it's a cabrio, not a roadster. If you want a roadster why would you need a cabrio. Boxter looks gay. Although quality is above-sky-level. C7 doesn't have metal roof, so you can't use it in winter. But with its engine and looks it's probably most interesting rival out of three, if you ready to deal with its interior. I think most Z4 buyers's opinion is like mine.

[@TheCOWBOYRANCHER]

You can get this exact car for under 20k now.

[@wallyborrero4967]

It’s a Twin Turbo this is the N54 not the N55 with the twin scroll turbo

[@kawasaki8000]

A great review from Cooley again, like ALWAYS!

[@EriclolXD]

Hahaha! I love his reaction for the hood latch lol. I remembered he always complain about those things back in 2011 & 2012 reviews for some BMWs, it was hilarious.

[@johnmann7o2]

Hey cooley, the interior dash is shifted towards the driver. These are typical of sports cars. You do a better job reviewing economy family cars. Leave the sports cars to car and driver, top gear etc.. Just my humble opinion :)

[@DER0X0MLINE]

This z4 or e85 M convertible ?

[@ericnguyen7061]

What is that name of that little tune at the beginning it is really catchy

[@lefiusleftnut9012]

Um, at 6:54, A CHEVY CRUZE tech package???????

[@adamdoodad7970]

Lol, was a bit weird hey. Editor snoozing on the job.

[@davidxc3181]

I'm so broke

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

I like the Host. He’s funny.

[@elpatron8696]

I smell a prize fight episode....2013 BMW Z4 sDrive35is VS. 2013 Jaguar F-Type

[@Mejevoli]

Why are we even surprised, they once called a video of a Gallardo, a Murcielago..

[@Mazentm]

is that kipkay?

[@natekenny7106]

I've seen CNET use the wrong car in some shots of videos before but not as bad as 6:53. Ouch.

[@emmanuelgt5]

Exactly, or wait for the new m3/4 to hit the market

[@luke4010]

Great review, thank you so much!

[@Pabla98]

what car is that at 6:54..

[@robertbidochon7088]

CNET team, you have access to a lot of great cars, you have very good video quality, sound and information about cars but find a good reviewer

[@jason86]

It's a twin turbo, not twin scroll turbo

[@NickLiang]

What does he mean when he says there's no automatic in the traditional sense?

[@zachbattack]

+NickLiang A normal automatic has one clutch. While this one has 2 two. The clutch allows to switch gears.

[@mrjdgibbs]

No torque converter

[@AMPLIFIER942]

Looked like some Chevy or other GM car.. the center console looked familiar to me..

[@contrerasjonathan92]

Amo este carro ♥

[@XtaticVideo]

I think this is 2014 model

[@danieldelaparra7708]

BMW should bring the Z3 back, I would love to see a BMW Z3 2019

[@Krezo200]

The z4 had the n55 in the us?????

[@Krezo200]

4:45

[@Krezo200]

Well they got it wrong Only turbo i6 in the e89 was the n54

[@emerican797]

Whats the name of the song?

[@mansonny122333]

im trying to find out

[@Sam-gj3xg]

its twin turbo not twin scroll

[@katanamast279]

Please review Jaguar F-Type Thanks

[@pwoo124]

Surprised that BMW still hasn't replaced those halogen halo rings to LED ones. A bit dated looking IMO

[@AshwinLB]

7 year old video BUT ITS A TWIN TURBO N54

[@frankdogg75]

Its twin turbo not twin scroll guy. It's an N54 not an N55... smh...

[@cowsgomoo001]

Got one of these on Real Racing 3

[@Eschibeschi]

Cooley is using a Droid4 Nice :)

[@doodskie999]

chevrolet cruze to be exact

[@eskil1u]

i see the dead cat microphone above the exhaust

[@Tragel102]

thats how cooley reviews

[@aaronfloyd14]

Cooley! Cooley! Cooley!!!

[@aaronsu8763]

You always focus so much on the tech part of the car but not so much driving experience.

[@kuaznlau86]

This is n54 not n55! Not twin scroll!

[@eden20111]

This guy only gives positive feedback to mercedes and bmw. But when he reviews a Kia or hyundai or Toyota, he always says negative things about it

[@olaf2046]

Didn't they just review this the other day...wait they did------>

[@pleasantcrew]

Damn...thats an expensive lil bugger

[@jamesdavies6120]

[@Mr7Crash]

Am I the only one who thinks he talks like Mr White from Breaking Bad?

[@davidxc3181]

I feel bad for the people that know me because you know it's not like I intended for this to happen

[@luissalazar2021]

I want one

[@posniknelb6114]

Always prefered the e85/e86 z4,especially the coupe.The e89 is a bit lardy and too much like a mercedes slk.

[@farrenvilla7225]

cooley uses a droid dna 2.19

[@PremierAutoMan86]

Ok they showed a Chevy interior at the end...come on editors lol :p

[@Tragel102]

COOLEY!!!

[@ryanb82]

(referring to the car) "Let's see how well the family chromosomes are doing" ...personally I think it may have picked up an extra one somewhere along the way.

[@fkporsche1]

Thanks for your quick informative review! Cooley-- I had a M3 and 325e when I was in high school time. I thought I may consider this roadster. But not after this review. Too expensia. Better off with a Miata and a gt3!

[@Narrowcros]

Dam thats really red

[@junbinguo5864]

it would be funny if that was really daily car

[@mercedescl]

BMW Cruze Diesel.

[@T0PzKiNG]

66k O_o. I rather buy a new C7 Corvette

[@Dankcatvacs]

3:00 wow the germans suck with cup holders . in the center console, as in literaly IN the console thats what i do in my dads subaru loyale and thats from 88-94 then you got a lit a jar just for a place to set your soda, good god BMW get with the times!

[@cky945able]

Hahaha, just spotted cruze interior like many have mentioned and BMW is completely insulted by that footage...we don't make crap like that!

[@ComerfordRd]

Those hooks just waiting to crush your skull in every time you open a bonnet.

[@StuartBuckellUK]

So much wrong with this review, and that lame excuse at putting a bag in the back when the roof was retracted...just, oh dear.

[@MB-MASTER101]

that car is very expensive! ! wow

[@Tracertme]

At 4:47 wrong, the N54 engine was twin turbo's.... he's a gadget man who really does not understand anything about cars... I can overlook many things journalists say, but its like telling me it has only 3 wheels when we can clearly see 4. Time to change the host CNET if he can't do his research first properly before staging this VT.

[@3monsterbeast]

Cooley is that guyyy!!!!! :)

[@85funnyguy]

for 70 grand ill buy the new corvette conv.

[@mpodobnik]

It's called car tech...

[@kingssecrets9104]

Thats the car am having

[@groupCAP]

I'd prefer a porsche boxter s
