RARE BMW Z4 COUPE 3.0 Si | SHOULD YOU BUY THIS BMW Z4 3.0SI?

[@gameadventures1]

Why is everyone hating on him, y'all just angry a young man is driving a nice car, classic old bitter people when young guys get nice things.

[@invictusporsche]

You are spot on, lots of bitter people online

[@gavinhill4121]

Ignore any negative comments dude - you can never turn down the exuberance of youth.

[@invictusporsche]

Thanks Gavin, the world needs more people like you. Easy to knock someone down but how about a compliment and encouraging our new generation to do better. Really appreciate your feedback. Regards, Basheer (Harrison's Manager)

[@mrmonday42]

Wow, I wasn't expecting such negativity in the comments. I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and there isn't a whole lot of content out there on the 3.0si coupe

[@invictusporsche]

Thank you for the kind comment. Hard to please some people and lots of keyboard warriors out there.

Interior is not real carbon fiber, it's a vinyl wrap mate.

[@invictusporsche]

Correct it’s vinyl wrap, our colleague got a bit carried out

[@PadraigMaguire]

Would like to get one - however in Ireland the annual TAX is 1,500EUR

[@invictusporsche]

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you get rich soon so the tax won’t be a bother 😉

[@gameadventures1]

And i thought £300 a year here for tax was bad...

[@andrewthach1989]

Thinking about selling my c5 Corvette and get a 2007 Z4 hard top coupe. How reliable has this been for u?

[@invictusporsche]

These are extremely reliable, it's to be expected from German engineering :)

[@andrewthach1989]

@@invictusporsche haha German engineering and reliability don't go hand and hand for the most part. That's japanese. But I like my German cars.

​@andrewatsv2718 unfortunately what you're saying is true to a certain extent . The trick with BMW is stick with the inline 6 if at all possible without the turbo . And then you have to be super proactive / OCD with your maintenance and upkeep . Doing so these are extremely robust and well-built cars and from my experience are very reliable . I've now had 11 BMWs in my life and only one of them left me roadside with a cooling system failure which is one of the most common things. But my 2006 Z4 3.0 SI Coupe has been flawless since I bought it this February and I did a 10-day road trip from Vancouver Canada to California and back with absolutely no issues, with the needle pegged steadily at highly arrestable speeds 😁. The N52 is one of their best and has a very usable flat powerband. And I got 38 (imperial) mpg on the highway even with my lead foot! To say I was amazed is an understatement. Love my Z4. Find a good one (get a ppi!) and you will too! And try to get the later 3.0si with the N52. Well worth the little extra $ !

The BMW Z4 3.0si Coupe with a manual transmission (828 units in North America) is a standout rarity: - **BMW Z8**: Even rarer with 2,543 units in the U.S., underscoring the exclusivity of both models. - **Audi R8 V10 Manual (First Gen)**: The Z4 is rarer in North America among only 828 units. - **Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1**: Fewer units compared to the ZR1's 4,684 units, the Z4 Coupe maintains a unique appeal. - **Lotus Exige S (North America)**: With similar limited numbers, the Z4 highlights BMW's exclusivity among only 828 units. - **Dodge Viper (Final Gen)**: The Z4's scarcity outpaces this iconic American sports car's approximately 2,000 units, making it a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts.

[@invictusporsche]

Thank you, this is really helpful and can’t believe how rare it is

[@77Pelikane]

1:42 looks like the bonnet is open :D

[@invictusporsche]

Noted you are right Denis

[@Qsamscorp]

Haven't seen someone shared with automatic gearbox .It's really hard to find a manual gearbox z4 in China cause BMW never brought any manual z4 in China. Thank you for your video.

[@invictusporsche]

Sorry to hear that they didn't bring many manuals to China. Hopefully you can find the one you want. The auto is still good, try test driving one and I am sure you will love it :)

[@reeceburton7864]

You did alright lad I'm actually going to see manual tomorrow in black red interior

[@invictusporsche]

All the best with it. Did you get it?

[@jamesmcdonald1889]

Great video, something’s up with the bonnet when you’re driving around tho. If it’s unlatched you’re lucky it didn’t flip up!

[@invictusporsche]

Hey James, Thanks for the note. We checked it out and you were right, it wasn’t closed properly. Much appreciated. Best Regards, Invictus Porsche

[@rotorblade9508]

I got an offer for my 2008 for 9k then I’ve spent in over 1 year over 7k for preventative maintenance (solenoids, timing chain, water pump/thermostat, all rubber gaskets, new paint, new rear quarters (old were a bit rusty), new control arms, new serpentine belt, new maf, atf fluid and now it’s for sale for 10k and nobody wants itt. So the idea is if you plan to sell a car spending money on maintenance will not make it sell better. Anyway the mean depreciation over 10 years for a 70k car is about 3k per year, so 7k loss is actually a 4k

[@northweezie1]

How much of that did you actually need to do

[@invictusporsche]

Thanks for sharing your story. Has your Z4 sold now?

[@rotorblade9508]

@@northweezie1 it didn’t need anything except for an oil separator gasket 50$, but it’s better to replace those parts before they fail.

[@Xueqs]

Good review man. Id like to own one

[@invictusporsche]

Thanks! 👍

Pity you don't know what you are talking about

[@invictusporsche]

Harrison is new to this, only fair if we give him the opportunity to learn and develop

[@anthonygillesse7242]

Too bad it’s an automatic

[@invictusporsche]

Still an excellent car though, even with the Automatic box!

[@Rialas]

It’s the best option.

[@lancemannion4113]

Can confirm, the auto is no loss of fun, power or mileage ! Brilliant ZF transmission

[@Phil535]

You'd best hope your would-be purchaser doesn’t watch this.

[@invictusporsche]

Would be purchaser did in fact watch it and credit to Harrison in the video for being brave to stand in front of a camera at such a young age to give it his best. He is learning and improving and I am sure in 5 years time, he will be gold :)

[@james_zy5026]

6:05 Maybe not a great idea to rag the car you are trying to sell around in a residential area.

[@invictusporsche]

Feedback noted James 👍. Harrison is new addition to the team and we have all given him the same feedback as you. He has learnt and will see better days.

[@james_zy5026]

​@@invictusporsche That aside one thing you can't train is enthusiasm, and Harrison seems to have that in spades.

[@invictusporsche]

Definitely he did does. He is genuinely passionate about cars. We are happy to have him as part of our team 🙏

[@petef7323]

@@invictusporsche To be fair to Harrison, it is a car that encourages you to push it. I should know, I had the z4 3.0si for 9 years!

[@KayMac1]

This is not ragging it around. This engine is designed to be revved out as long as it's done on a warm engine it's harmless. It's not like he's sitting doing burnouts or dropping the clutch hard or dropping gears without rev matching. Driving through the rev range actually helps clear the systems of carbon build up

[@sonof69star]

Close the bloody bonnet before you drive!

[@invictusporsche]

Thanks for the note, you are right 👍

lol, We've just witnessed an Italian tuneup by a young Englishman.
