Great video mate, had a blast filming this! 🙌🙌
Zimba Motoring looking forward to your vid!!
Zimba Motoring you should do a muffler delete. Just so I know if it’s worth it 😉
Nickvaughan81 haha funny you say that, I’m really tempted to do that tbh 🙈 How long have you had yours?
Zimba Motoring 6 weeks. Identical to yours apart from dark grey with red leather. Wasn’t sure about the leather first but the colour combo works really well. Thought about getting a Racechip but warranty etc puts me off.
sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I love any tips you can offer me
Really interesting comments on each Z4 !!!
Continue on this way. It's perfect.
Your Friend is so cool too.
Bruno COTTANCEAU thanks Bruno really appreciate your comment!
Another great video mate!
hampshirephoto cheers mate!
I’ve had my E89 for over a year now. Loving every minute of it. My trips down Hwy 50 in Nevada are a blast.

Recently came across your channel & I am addicted to your Z4 vlogs! I recently purchased a E85 Z4 for summer so I have found your videos interesting :)
Thomas Talks thanks mate! That’s awesome, how do you like it?
I have only owned it 2 weeks soo far, I love how responsive the steering and throttle is! It has been in the garage this week for a sensor to be replaced and the heat shield was rattling. I need to source a used or refurbished roof pump as they want over £1k for a new one (my roof doesnt work :/)
Good video as always❤❤❤
AHappyQuickscoper thanks!
Joel you seem like such a genuine nice guy, my view of BMW drivers have changed!
Thanks Eddie!
Been looking forward to this video, the E85 seems so raw but I love the way the E89 looks
James Hall I agree - the E89 makes mine look so dated! But I do get a more hands on Driving experience!
Glad I came here, this is great channel, I had a Z4 which was one of the best cars I ever owned. I came from that comment in CaseyNeistat video.
Roger Bailey thanks Roger - I saw your comment and subbed to your channel, crazy how you can discover people :)
Good stuff man, subtitles are a great addition. We'll have to meet up for some filming in the next few months!
danbarnettmedia sadly they’re a necessary addition due to the constantly bad audio!! Yes absolutely - drop me a note whenever you want to do something 👍🏻
Will do man! Hopefully when I get my new car this year we can do something interesting! But in the meantime we can do something maaaad with your Z4!
danbarnettmedia yes totally up for it!!
J'adore les deux versions ! magnifique reportage
Merci
What a nice vid! Great guys great cars. All the best mates
Thanks mate
Getting a 3.0si so looking back at these vids. This is a good one indeed.
Thank you
E89 the most beautiful z4 ever !
Hi Joel do the axel oils need changing periodically on z4s or are they a sealed unit so to speak any advice would be good great vid by the way 👍 best wishes ,Andy
Good video. Still gonna buy an old Z4 3.0i.
Looks great fun and great value.
My E46 320i is rusting to bits.
Luv and Peace.
Ended up buying a low mileage 2006 2.5si.
It's fantastic.
I love it.
Luv and Peace.
Joel, what did you do to soften your suspension? Did you just change the tires? or?
Great vid Joel. Would have been nice to see the e89 30i comparison. You said you have ditched the runflats and I’m considering doing the same. What have you got in case of a puncture? Can of tyre weld?
Paul D hey Paul, thanks! I couldn’t include it in this video otherwise it would have been way too long! Haha, maybe in another one ... yes I have, improves the ride and handling considerably. I don’t actually have anything which is a bit silly 😂 but luckily I haven’t had any punctures!
Could you tell which one is larger to fit in? I am 1.95(6ft5) and not very comfortable in e85, hopefully e89 is larger.
I just sold my 2007 2.5i e85, replaced it with a 2011 23i e89 Highline Edition. The e89 looks better, handles better on 19" rft (I switched the rft for standard tyres on the e85, the handling was still twitchy) and the interior is a huge improvement. No contest!
Your checklist for the future:
-Black cooling intakes !!!
-Bilstein lowering Suspension
-Black 18 i rims
-6 Speed M gearchanger leather (that thing you put your hand on) on ebay for 60 bucks
-Alcantara at your steering wheel.
I can give you a pic of mine if you give me a adress where to send them.
Mxgtumgoten yes! I would love to do all of those things! send me some pics on Instagram?? :)
Good suggestions apart from the 18 inch wheels. The Z4 gen1 is known to be firmly setup to begin with.
Hey Joel, bought an ‘04 3.0 Z yesterday (over the pond) and yours is the first channel I subscribed to!
I’m loving the car but the first thing I’ve noticed coming from the e46 is there’s a much smaller aftermarket community. Not that the car needs much in terms of styling.
However, you mentioned you had a head unit that worked with bluetooth, aux, etc?
What do you have in yours and do you think it disrupts the interior much ?
I really really like the dash on my car as is, and don’t want to throw some car toys bs on a bracket in the middle of it.
Any input from you or the Z4 community is much appreciated 👍🏽👍🏽
Riley Sperbeck hey Riley! Awesome, thank you so much! The Z4 forum is definitely a good one to look at if you haven’t already! My head unit was in the car when I bought it, and it’s great, but it does slightly ruin the aesthetic of the dash for me, but not enough to outweigh the benefit.
I know that a lot of E85 Z4s use the Parrot system which just clips on out of the way so that might be better?
Hope this helps? Thanks for your support!
It's Joel appreciate the reply! Hopefully I’ll be putting out some videos soon
Riley Sperbeck nice one, I’ll go ahead and subscribe!
How does it compare to an E46 vert?
NGizzle much sportier/more fun to drive. Less comfortable/practical. The driving position is the biggest difference obv, nice and low right above the rear wheels. Throttle response on the same 3.0L seems more responsive likely due to it being lighter. Yet the handling seems about the same, if anything it’s slightly less responsive & the suspension is much much rougher. Sometimes your fighting the roads a bit, but then you give it more gas and roar ahead with a smile on your face. Imo it’s got all the right ingredients for a sporty car
I love the E89 more aesthetically, its more developed but I wonder if it will be as reliable as an E85. Amazing video, though.
i have a grey 2007 e85. i love the lines on the older models but would love a e89 but so over priced in my country sa
You should try a Z3. Z4 E85 feels much bigger inside and roof is a huge improvement. Z3 M44 is huge fun to drive though.
unixnerd23 I have - it’s a great little car :)
The E89 2.0 does not have 2 turbos but twin-scroll turbo technology.
Great video but would have been good to compare driving both cars with the roof down :-)
david m gazda noted for next time David, thanks for watching
Black guy is ace. Hmmm, I'm torn between a 2006 Z4 3.0 coupe, Boxster S around a 2003, Z3 3.0 newest one.
go for the coupe... just got one... fantastic
JP Info the Porsche drivers loads better. It’s a proper sports car ready for the track. The z4 just feels like it’s for road use if you know what I mean
BMW Z4 E89 looks way better, not only because I prefer Hard Top Convertibles than Soft Top, but must be way way expenssive... So If I could get a BMW Z4 E85 Hard Top would be amazing!
What’s with the M badge? If it had a bigger engine and the M badges removed he’d have the perfect
And anyone thought about adding a racechip
I still prefer the E85 it's a real looker and feels much more like a "sports" car like a boxster. E89 is nice but too similar to the new TT or slk, they definitely lost some of the character that made the E85 such a beautiful car.
Get the Z4 with SMG, a lot fun
Every BMW mechanic I talk to, say they've made a fortune off fixing SMG transmissions.
Haha, SMG not the best then 😂
Has anyone done the muffler delete on the E89?
Nickvaughan81 I don’t know anyone .. I’m sure someone out there has!
Automatic is great, but if you're looking to keep the car for a while the repair costs on them are horrific and changes the economics of ownership substantially. The 6 cylinders have a reputation of being bulletproof - the autoboxes, not so much.
Hunting for a z4 e85 3.0 now!
Let me know if you have any questions!
@@itsjoel thank you for being cool!
@@itsjoel thanks for the sound generator video, the 2.5l e85 z4 doesn't have it right?
No worries mate! Correct, my dad has the 2.5 and his doesn’t have it
@@itsjoel thank you!
joel, your z4 is crying out for a muffler delete! I've done it to mine as its my weekend toy and its amazing, especially in tunnels.
Inline_sixty6 yes yes yes! I have wanted to do this ever since I bought the car - just haven’t had the chance to get it done!!
You are missing out! let me know if you want to hear one in person before you get it done as I would be more than happy to meet up.
Inline_sixty6 I would absolutely love to hear it! Drop me a message on Instagram or email? :)
No way check the z4 forums loads have done it and lost power with dyno graphs to prove it.
John Smith would be nice to see a back to back dyno.
* starts go fund me for a image stabilizer for Joel *

almost had a seizure watching some of these parts no offense 😂
Love the choice of music and the filmography in the rest of the video though!
I wanted an e89 28i but now I'm not sure. The e89 30i probably sounds a lot better. I would love to own a e85 coupe though. It seems to be a way better driver's car.
Alex Dc depending on your budget, the absolute best drivers Z4 would be the Z4M. BMW took the engine from an E46 M3, ditched the electronic steering for good old school hydraulic steering, got rid of run flats for conventional tyres, and of course, it’s naturally aspirated. They’re going up in value too as they’re quite rare. A 3.0si coupe would be second to that too. But yeah - 30is are coming down to a good price point now 👍🏻
It's Joel the M is too expensive and the engine doesn't seem to be as reliable. I'm sure it's incredible but I don't want to deal with these issues.
Alex Dc fair enough - I’d go for a 3.0si coupe 👍🏻
It's Joel great video btw. What I liked about the idea of the e89 with the i4 turbo is that the engine is not sticking out in front of the wheels as much as the i6 does. I like the security of a hard top when you park it in the city. The i6 doesn't seem to stick out in the e85 like it does in the e89. Weird. Looks like they went a few steps backwards with the layout and performance.
Alex Dc you definitely get more security - and I’d never noticed that about the engines. Thanks mate 👍🏻

xN1Kx 😍
That E85 is not a day faster that the E89 LOL
Yours doesn't look dated until you put the E89 next to it imo. It's a shame they didn't incorporate the bonnet into the grill as it looks kind of funny with that bonnet line across the front. Would make the bonnet way too big & heavy I guess
3.0 E85 all day long for me, more of a drivers car.
Good choice! 😉
Newer Z4 is so much better in every way. 11 years better and prob almost £11k?
Yeah!
if your arms stay on the window..you are not a cabrio owner...
What are you on about?
Sort out your audio dude!
Road Trolls it’s sorted now - was my first time with a new camera when I filmed this video. In my latest videos the audio sounds 👌🏻
What's the difference? One was paid for and the other was stolen?
p green racist
T Mistro oh dear. Looks like you have assumed something. Now That is racist.
p green 😂😂😂
