I just bought a Z4 3.0i with only 70'000km on the clock last week to be picked up this weekend. Just what I have been looking for sporty with a great sound when you want to take it for a run but a quiet cruiser on the freeway. The car looked good back when it was released first but is still a stunner today especially the rear end. The Swiss alps are calling!! Love the video.

[@av7062]

The Z4 is truly a classic. I have had an '03 3.0i Z4 and it is the the best 2 seater I have ever driven. It is more powerful than a stock miata or s2000 and lighter than the 350z. It also doesn't burn oil or break down nearly as much as the Audi TT. The engine is a bulletproof m54. The Achilles heel is the flimsy plastic DISA valve. You can replace the plastic part with a metal one and it is fairly easy to do. Other than that, keep up with regular fluid changes and some rubber hose replacements and you are done. This thing is truly a beast.

Came across your channel trying to learn more and I really like your videos. You're reinforcing my decision so good on ya m8!

Thank you my friend, appreciate it! Congrats on your purchase :)

[@richardmartin4227]

After doing my research and watching all your z4 videos, I picked up an 06 3.0si with 50k miles two weeks ago. Love it. Thanks for all the information. The z4 is in very high demand here in the southeastern U.S. with the 60+ crowd. Prices are rising and zeds (06-08) under $13,000 are hard to come by. Nothing stays on the market for much more than a week.

I experienced “tram-lining” you spoke about running on the OEM Bridgestones. Now on my second set of run-flat Pilot Super Sports. Much quieter, less harsh than the Bridgestones, fantastic grip. I got 34,000 miles out of the first set.

[@scotcook5]

these are such great cars I really don't understand why they don't get more love. Last BMW a diy guy can handle most everything with ease. Engine is really easy to get to all around. No huge tech/turbo's etc. and still really really fun to drive. Great reliability, performance and mpg. Great car if you are looking for some two-seater fun.

[@1963BirdDog]

Good informative video. I had a 2006 3.0si for several years (it sat over winter) and really enjoyed it. Sufficient power for me, loads of fun to drive. I didn’t have the oil consumption ‘problem’ but wholeheartedly agree with the tires and tracking on some road surfaces. I’m not a fan of the power steering, it feels too disconnected for a roadster. I wouldn’t hesitate buying another some day when garage space allows. Oh, go with the standard shift - a car like this needs to be shifted by the driver.

[@johneadie1150]

Hi Joel, You encouraged me to do this. 1. Purchased a 2006 Z4 - amazing. 2. I decided to set up a straight through exhaust (after 5 years) - OMG. She talks to be everyday we are out. Brilliant. Thanks for all you advice. Cheers, John, from Northland, New Zealand.

[@melissaparsons6575]

I bought a 07 z4 coup last year. needed to replace a spark plug and it was super simple. Needed to replace a parking light, not super easy. I usually do my own oil changes but can on this one as i cant get a jack under it. Over all though, this car will be a favorite of anyone who enjoys driving. Its a pleasure to own and hasn't cost me much. its relatively cheap considering i owned 2 mustangs before. Im in love with my car and its a real looker.

Great video. I’ve had my Z4 just over a year now & still love it just as much today as I did when I drove it for the 1st time!! Unfortunately my motor went on my roof recently however unlike some of the comments below you don’t actually need to take the whole roof off to access it, just slightly. Where it sits it fills with water so as you said it’s a common fault. I found a guy online who specialises in bmw roof issues (Alan from Bristol who advertises on gumtree & he was a legend) who replaced the motor & rehoused it in the boot (keeping it dry & easy to get to) for just over £300. Most garages charge £900+ so if you do start having issues there are easy ( and much cheaper) ways to fix if you do your research. Took 3 hours to sort & works perfectly again.

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this comment mate. It just happened to my Dad’s Z4 and he found someone like Alan who also did exactly that for £300 - better than taking it to BMW!

[@travel734]

Great video. Nice to see someone who also enjoys the Z. To me it is one of the last true driving experiences from BMW. I sold my E92 M3 earlier this year because I needed to go reduce the number of cars in the garage. It was an easy choice. Drive the M3 to its potential and the local constabulary are waiting. In the Z4, they wave and smile - it is so much fn to drive at legal speeds. I have had a 2004 3.0 6 speedZ4 since new. I really enjoy the car. Replacing the steering wheel and shift knob with the M version - it is really nice. The cup holders are pants. I agree about the stock Bridgestone RFT tyres. I have Michelin Pilot Sport 18" and they are better but I do agree about going to non RFT. I am 6'1" and headroom is not a problem. In the boot I have room for a suitcase, briefcase and golf clubs. Tame driving on secondary roads yields 42 mpg.

[@oldrrocr]

If I had to buy a BMW, the Z4 would be it. (but I have 3 better cars in my garage right now.)

[@zaydboubadoor5971]

[@barrydraper]

Very nice car Joel. While we mainly drive an Infiniti SUV; 9 months ago we also picked up a black low mileage 2008 Z4 3.0i with a 6-speed. It now only has 12,500 miles (just over 20,000 kms). We were quite fortunate to pick up this well maintained, garage kept Z4. In Southwest Florida, convertible tops are down all year around. Outstanding value and lots of fun as long as you have another vehicle for hauling people and groceries. It hard to find more car for the money. Keep making great videos...

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching Barry, sounds like you got yourself a great deal!

[@arsestick]

Great video Joel, from a fellow z4 driver. Keep up the good work!

[@itsjoel]

Thank you!

[@stephenbrown1194]

Got a 09 plate 2.5L Z4, absolutely love it, pretty much agree with everything you said here especially the amount of oil it burns through, only difference with mine is a hard top electric roof means I have only half the boot space than a soft top due to the mechanism which does make mine rather impractical sometimes. Affordability really surprised me, never thought I would be able to afford something like this until I saw the prices they were going for. All in all, I completely love it for what it is and its cost. I'll be keeping mine for as long as I can.

[@kay19833]

do you have a E89 or a E85? the E89 is way more expensive the older E85 is twice or thrice as cheap so I don't know what you mean with your 09 Z4 being cheap, if it's from the E89 generation, it's definitely not cheap.

I’m 6’1 it’s still roomy enough for me, and storage is rather on the small side, I have 2 subwoofers in the boot which is fun but it’s not a practical car, but the oil is nearly 7 quarts, but I do it every 5 thousand miles. The Z4 puts a smile on my face when I give the beans.

[@junjiangluo3219]

I rent a 2006 Z4 when I had my vacation in Arizona. Love the seat and the handling. Though I found the frame between roof and windshield is a bit in the way of my horizon (might be the way how I sit or my height). I was silly to got stuck in sand when I visit the horse shoes bend, luckily two amazingly local people passing by and help me out. Back to the point, the acceleration is fantastic, get to 80mph like piece of cake. But the circulation of wind with the roof down is not perfect, you might notice quite amount of the wind come back into the cabin. The fuel consumption is very traditional and overall I like it but would not buy one for myself personally. I just got a X1 instead.

[@itsjoel]

Awesome! I was in Arizona just last month and rented a V8 mustang; which was great! X1 is a perfectly good and sensible car, perhaps you could get a Z4 just for the weekend? Haha!

i loooveee my Z4. Just got it a couple months ago and i use it as a daily driver. Shits beautiful. And mines got cup holders ;D

[@itsjoel]

Haha, rub it in about the cup holders ... 😭😭😭

[@gabrielestrada9291]

How many miles does it have?

[@itsjoel]

Mine has over 140,000 miles now

[@kay19833]

​ How long have you had the car and what power are you pushing, what are the challenges, the regrets, what are the running/maintenance cost? etc.

[@SteveDoomXIII]

Miss mine, was a brilliant car to drive, some scary moments when driven hard but fun none the less.

[@kay19833]

Why did you sell it, please give an honest detail.

[@SteveDoomXIII]

@@kay19833 Divorce.

[@kay19833]

@@SteveDoomXIII Lay the crackpipe down Sir. Who gets divorce and sell something like this? and replaced it with a sad car like an hybrid Prius probably right?

[@gregoryrichter57]

Can't agree more with the points you made. Love my Z4 ever since i got him. First comment from your probably only austrian subscriber hahah

[@itsjoel]

Thank you for watching - greetings from the UK!

[@tobybryan02]

Went on an u17 driving course last week, started off in my mum's s4, then as the week progressed I was trusted to drive an instructors z4. Honestly an amazing car to drive, beautiful looks and isn't too bad on power either. Favourite car of the week by far, bare in mind I also drove an F type 😂

[@itsjoel]

That’s awesome Toby! The Z4 is a fantastic car for the money, that’s for sure!

[@ashleydewitt7086]

Joel, i actually bought a bmw z4 after i saw you drive one, now im a proud owner of a 2.5 z4 Ive got it for 2 months now and im still loving it

[@itsjoel]

Amazing! I’m glad I was able to share some insight and that you are enjoying it - thank you for watching :)

[@eamonanjaz1074]

Awesome video, I'm seriously considering getting a z4 myself

[@heldaneurbanus5135]

waffel waffle waffle ... VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM waffle waffle waffle VROOOOOOOOOOOOM! :) Carry on, I don't mind. Z4s and SLKs of the same generation have become suprrisingly affordable even here in Malta where any car (new or second hand) was gallingly overpriced till pretty recently. A bit marred by an abundance of autos. Also. There is something almost magical, sonorous, titillating about BMW straight 6s.

[@DriversSide]

Great video! I have the pleasure of having a Z4 in the garage with my e46 m3 and I must say it's a proper driver's car. The engine sounds great and the steering and handling is fantastic!

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching! It’s a great drivers car!

Good production. I enjoyed your show and proud to be an old fart owners of Z4 .

[@itsjoel]

Cheers Mike, thanks for watching!

[@TheTestDrive]

Awesome cinematography man! How do you know the oil level is low? Does the car tell you or do you frequently check the dip stick? I’ve driven my Z4 3,000 miles and the oil was changed right before I purchased it but now I’m a little worried (don’t want to drive around with low oil).

[@itsjoel]

Thanks mate! I normally check my dipstick once a month, but when you need to top the oil up, a yellow oil light comes on the dash when you switch the car off - so I normally just do it then! Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@TheTestDrive]

It's Joel awesome, that’s great to know - thanks!

[@itsjoel]

Anytime bro!

[@claudeguilbert7655]

I have just came to buy a Z4 2003, 2,5 i. This is a very plaisant car to drive for the price. It’s like to be on vacation every time I am taking the car to go work. Talk about more in few days from Quebec Canada.

[@jond46687]

Really helpful video thanks

[@watchhunter]

why am I watching this? I´ve already got 2 of them

[@itsjoel]

Because you’re cool.

[@watchhunter]

It's Joel that could be the answer

[@pablog7358]

senfnas I'm asking the same myself. Lmao.

[@kay19833]

How long have you had the car and what power are you pushing, what are the challenges, the regrets, what are the running, maintenance cost etc.

​@@terencedempsey151 How long have you had the car and what power are you pushing, what are the challenges, the regrets, what are the running, maintenance cost etc. Why 3? what happened to the 1st, 2nd and why the 3rd one? details please.

[@itsjoel]

I'm so pleased with how this video has performed & if you like what you see, I'd love for you to check out my review of the BMW Z4M Coupe too ➤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzYiKCiZq6th9E

It's Joel prime reason it’s a Supra 😂

[@anoceanaway6194]

It's Joel is there a way to adjust the steering wheel height? I just bought a 2005

[@mattsalon7007]

I do have a coupe.

[@robhosking9399]

Great video Joel..! I've currently a black 54 plate 05 Z4 2.2.i with Manuel gearbox, a lot of fun....!

[@Richard-HiFiMan]

Nice car and a great review. I'm a year into my current Z4 ('09 E89, 7 speed DCT, 400+hp COBB tuned N54 engine) and love it. Now and then I catch myself thinking about getting a second one, possibly a E86 Z4 (had an '03 in '05-06), or even a Z3 based M Roadster.

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching mate. Your E89 sounds like a monster!

[@jacksonlam2877]

Should have swapped a S85 into the engine bay 😂😂

[@kay19833]

what's it stock 345 or 305hp? what did you change to get to 400hp? intercooler, charge pipe, LPFP, FBO or any other thing?

[@Fastfem]

Just test drove an 08 3.0 the other day, it was amazing. Does anyone know how well the 2.5l engine drives? How well does it compare to the 3.0? Also great video man, really informative for buyers looking to get into a Z4 like myself. What is the mileage on yours if you don’t mind me asking

[@itsjoel]

Thanks for watching dude, glad you found it useful. My Dad has a 2.5 and loves it, but he’s always saying how he which he had the little extra power that mine does. It’s 130k now!

[@matt7232]

I have a 2.2 and i am really dissapointed. I guess the only way to go is M. But this things are 30k eur:/

[@youngstayoung6633]

Not much noticeable difference at all

[@dtb6456]

nice video,nice car

[@itsjoel]

Thanks mate!

[@markmunslow9793]

I've got a 56 plate E86 and I absolutely love it. I feel being a coupe the handling is sharper and with 265 horse power it really is a gem of a car.

[@itsjoel]

Awesome Mark, yes it probably is a little sharper! I’m still yet to see for myself, think the coupe is the only variant I haven’t driven now!

[@fehrnis1366]

This was a very good video! Enjoyed it very much!

[@insertcreativeusername2084]

Awwwww man! That’s my favourite car in the world!

[@itsjoel]

You should get one some day!

[@insertcreativeusername2084]

Joel, I’ll try!

[@allans7281]

Good honest review! Looks like a “shoe” that’s hilarious!! How did the Z3 and I got tired of the 80s interior. The more I look at the Z4 the better it looks- especially the interior. I’m glad you focused on how the car feels- that’s the important thing. Cheers mate Allan USA CA

[@patrickmccumiskey7580]

good video and well presented! Good for you mate, keep it up

[@itsjoel]

Thanks Patrick!
