Back on topic: Anyone owned/driven a Z4???

Hammond tested it on Top Gear,

His Comments:

Richard Hammond takes a BMW Z4 for a test drive in Portugal. He says the Z3 was a terrible car and it appears that BMW thought so also as the car isn't a new Z3 but rather a "Z4." Even though the Z3 was terrible it sold very well, and the Z4 is also selling well — starting at 30,000 GBP (about 55,300 USD) — even though it hasn't been released yet. You can get the Z4 in a 2.5 L or 3.0 L inline-6 engine with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual gearbox. Hammond says the Z4 has plenty of grip, almost too much. He thinks BMW has cracked it and created a good roadster.

One Thing I can't stress highly enough, make sure u get it with a warranty.

In terms of BMW Horror Stories, I have one that only happened about 2 days ago to my 2004 BMW 745i.

basically power steering hose got knocked/frayed/damaged when Auto Classic was working on my car, and therefore broke down with no power steering. As I had BMW Roadside as well as their Premium Selection (Platinum because its a 7 series), I have 2 years of warranty that will cover all the parts that are being replaced from Germany.

They have my car atm, and have given me a Diesel X3 to fang round in, but yer, make sure that you get a warranty, I wouldn't be surprised if the repair bill for my car made it over $1K.

As much as Auto Classic may seem like a bit of a ripoff, to each their own, all car dealers are in it for the money, and we managed to bargain the car down 10k, so yer, (got the '04 745i with only 23000kms on the odo for $75K instead of $85K).

The BMW Premium Selection applying to all BMW Models (not necessarily 6/7series), details are here:

You really must try not to say anything to upset her before she gets the scissors out.
