2004 BMW Z4 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by bricksilo
A member in Illinois, United States
Exterior styling
Classic roadster styling with a modern flair. Lots of compliments.
Materials & workmanship
Convertible top still looks like new after 6 years. Glass rear window. Trouble free engine. Smooth shifting transmission. 12 yr corrosion warranty. Free of rattles and annoying trim issues.
Handling
Low center of gravity for great cornering.
Powertrain performance
Smooth and quiet power delivery over the full range of engine speeds.
Fuel economy
Average 26-27mpg combined city/highway in daily commuter driving (no expressway)...even with some spirited driving.
Cargo capacity
Limited trunk space, no towing capacity.
Quietness
Quiet for a convertible, but noisier than a hard top.
Ride smoothness
Initial OEM setup with run flat tires and poorly damped shocks is unsafe over rough roads. However, after switching to non-run flat tires and premium shock absorbers this Z4 handles rough roads very well.
