I picked up a 2003 Z4 3.0i 6-speed about 6 months ago. It was severely neglected and needed a TON of work over the winter, but it's running great now and I love it! Sounds amazing too.
I bought a 2006 E86 3.0si manual in Sterling grey with Dream red leather interior a month ago, It had to be that color combo for me, A car that my scratch needed itching as i have always loved their looks, It's my first BMW at 61years old and i absolutely love it! A proper driver focused car IMO, The N52 is a lovely engine and coupled with the ZF 6 speed manual is a blast to drive and the N52 sounds great as well, A surefire future classic IMO due to the 2 year build life and you never see many on the roads 👍
The Z4M isn't built in Germany, it's built in Spartanburg. South Carolina, US. The drivetrain is produced in Germany and shipped to Spartanburg for assembly into the car. Greer is a city very close to Spartanburg.
My mistake, thanks for adding the correction 👍
I guess I was lucky to find a Z4M roadster in red with the black top, I had to pay top dollar for it, I would give it a 9+ out of 10 as far as over all condition goes. I find it quite hard to drive around the city, the clutch and gearbox do require you to pay attention to what you want, but on the open road this thing just sings. For my round town driving pleasure I use my r171 SLK 55 AMG, now I just need a Boxter to complete my dream collection, well a dream on my budget... thanks for the review, always great to hear of another person's perspective.
I have the Z4. It's a manual. In the USA, finding anything manual is difficult. Well, it's still easier to maintain 🤑 than an actual horse 🐎. Has been fun to drive.
I have my original Z4, 6speed manual . Still a fun car.
@@bakokitty enjoy! Vroom, vroom!
I would NEVER buy this car if I’d known what I know now after owning one for 15years! and spending a small country’s GDP on keeping it on the road. But I just love it at the same time. 🤷♂️
thinking of buying one, what has gone wrong for you?
@@huhwhatjoe Just general maintenance really on and old car now, Nothing major really! the roof stopped but that’s a pretty common problem when the roof motor gets soaked in water eventually if you don’t clear those drain holes. Did the fix that moves it into the boot. Make sure you get a computer you can plug in, because the engine light comes on for farting in it. Just simply have a look and turn it off again half the time.
@Eggywind I agree with everything you said, getting my roof looked at now..... but I STILL love it!!!🥰
Tengo un Z4 2.0 que solo me da alegrías y con un consumo por debajo de 7 litros a velocidad legal. En cuidad unos 8,5. Gracias por traducir el vídeo.
Gracias por mirar
Also, search for the sound generator mod. Its only on the 3.0. But it greatly increases induction noise and its a reversable mod that takes less than a minute
Agreed !
What about sticky steering ?
My flip up screen broke. Old plastic and stress on the rail that lifts it did that.
Mirrors broke
Roof motor broke
But its an awesome ride
I jus recently traded my 93 3000gt for a 03 z4. Lemme tell u, What a headache of a car
