Bmw z4

hilisa

Thinking of getting a z4. Just looking for any common probs or if anyone has one what are they like? Fast? Fun? Comfortable? It's a 2.5
Only going to keep for a year and sell on as I'm emigrating so wondering if anybody had a hard time moving them?

Ah lads I was just checking on the petrol! @op with that engine size, it being petrol and the tax on it, it won't be easy to sell on

Had a 2.5i for 4 years. Head turning car, one of those you feel 'special' in. So if you enjoy showing off it's great. The BMW badge also attracts a lot of praise/begrudgery from non-enthusiasts. Fast around Mondello too I can confirm.

Downside - suspension is hard. After any sort of long drive your back will be feeling it. Also a tendency to follow grooves in the road, you'll feel it following any sort of camber.
Not as fast as it could have been especially after 2.5 Road tax.

If it's for a year and price is right - go for it. It's a 2 seater soft top from BMW - 3 features guaranteed to find a buyer from either a young enthusiast or mid life crisis hitter (or hairdresser).

Best car ever for posing in town
Worst cat ever for backroads/potholes at any sort of speed.

Watch out for insurance, I've heard it can be expensive on these.
