Refresh your suspension with new bushings and control arms, makes a world of a difference. They sell kits online for this. I have a CAI on mine as well and it sounds awesome!
Just bought a 08 Z4 3.0i about 3 days ago. I drove it home from the dealership and parked it. Haven’t driven it since because I’ve been slammed at work. Although that drive home was great. Good overall car especially for the age. I got it with 30k miles too :)
I used to have an 07 Z4 3.0si, it was a fantastic car, I put over 30k miles on it as a daily driver. With an aftermarket exhaust and an amazing sound system installed it was pretty awesome. Mine was an automatic which wasn't too bad, I want to buy a manual one in the future, it is a stunning and amazing car. Whoever gets this one will love it
Katokioo Creations Honestly I loved the luxury features of the Si but it comes with the N52 engine which is made out of cheese so engine modification will be expensive for you. But if you keep the power train stock its a fantastic car 😊
I decided to buy this exact same car, only in white color. Chose it over the S2K, 370Z and C5. Got a hard top that makes it look so much better and better in rainy weather too.
Parker - on your S550 trunk open with your foot feature, you're doing it wrong. I have that on my 2015 E400, and it works for me nearly every time. You need to swipe your foot across. I swipe right, and it pops right open.
No matter which BMW I love them all. Nothing like fine German engineering. Love the video and props to you Parker for giving away a car. Hopefully to a less fortunate person. 💪
I like how Parker is willing to give back to the community by buying and giving away a car that meant so much to his early years. Thank you for the giveaway, and thank you for being so damping awesome.
Hey Parker ! Literally just bought a 6 spd z4 last week coming from an e46 coupe! Love the validation, as I was hesitant about 2-seater life. The 3L never feels underpowered and it being my first manual I’m having a lot of fun. Keep giving away awesome cars!
The engine choices are a bit different to what we have in Europe, from 2003 we had 2.2 (170bhp), 2.5 (192bhp) and 3.0 (239bhp) engines and from mid 2005/2006 we had 2.0 (150bhp), 2.5si (218bhp) and 3.0si (265bhp)... and then there was the z4m which used the e46 M3 engine (about 340bhp) and an Alpina roadster which had a stunning 3.4 straight six with an alleged 300bhp but it’s quicker and more refined than the z4m... I want an Alpina roadster version but I need to make way for one.
The thing is when is chirps when you shift gears it's not a good thing it has a clutch and transmission that are supposed to work together to get nice clean shifts and you'd get better pickup without the tire spin
I remember when I saw the original video. I was looking into buying one these straight outta High School. That was before I knew about cost of ownership but I really liked these back then.
Parker please review a Lexus LFA. There is one at Lexus of Woodland Hills on Ventura Blvd in the showroom. It’s about 5-10 mins from Calabasas Park Estates.
How is it possible to drive around LA without plates? I know he just bought the Z4 but I didn’t even notice a temporary plate on the car, as a matter of fact theres no plate to be seen on the Mercedes or even the Lambo... Here in NYC you cant get away with driving without proper registration, up to date inspection tag and plates in place(front and rear).
does the US spec version have the sound generator ? I had one a long time ago UK spec (3.0 only i think had it) and you can remove part of the foam for increased noise in the cabin.
We are going to electro burn the fuel to atomize at optimal pressure (per cube inch) through a combustion motor. With a new fuel system In all vehicles (land,sea, air)
Travis from what I've seen/read, the diff in the Z4M is bigger and won't fit, although there is a company that does make one specifically for it though.
Parker: I drive stick, driving stick is so fun, i'll teach you how to drive stick if you win the car Also Parker: drives in 2nd and 3rd most of the video
Hi guys, not sure what happened, I upload every video in 1080P. UA-cam must have messed it up on the back end, hopefully it switches soon!!
Do I have to be 18 to enter Parker?

try reuploading maybe?
Don't believe you 😋😋

Awesome car👍 i'm buying an e46 330ci this year.. is it possible that you make a review about this car?

Very loud actually 😂

Mason Zayas yea I plan on keeping the power train stock I just plan on doing maybe exhaust mod, rims etc small stuff lol

Early 2000s bmw was the golden age
I would say right now is they are faster and good looking and way better looking then 2000s bmw
@@aidenp5768 lower reliability, higher complexity, synthetical feel, very digital - these points are against modern bmws
Felt like they couldn't miss back then. I have a 2001 BMW 330ci. It's an amazing car in every way.
Parker when the music comes its very loud,try to correct the volume in other videos
yeah music is like 10x louder than the rest of the vid
I was wearing head phones and damn my ears hurted

I'm pretty sure staged the Benz trunk fail, he did his foot that way on purpose
whats it like to ride Becca?
Pzero Killer 😣
probably illegal in most states as she is like what? 14? :P
nsverb not in Tyga years

My Z4 is just like that one....8 years of awesome ownership. Fun car!
I got an E46 330Ci with the same Inline-6. Such a great Engine!
My friend has e46 with the same engine. And as he said it was so terrible and unreliable car, just nightmare..
@@spacemaster5206 he's talking rubbish mate. M54b30 is a bomb proof engine. He must have got a lemon.
@@coaldust01 it's absolutely not reliable engine with tons of engineer mistakes. Also it's oil consuming
@@spacemaster5206 listen. I have gone from 67.000 miles to 120.000 miles with no problem with the engine. This engine is very reliable.
@@coaldust01 haha
The most "interesting" things with bmw engines will happen after this mileage
Review an LFA
Ahmed Moosaji I’d love to see him review an LFA also.
"so lets see some beauty shots of the Z4" but since its only in 480P I saw a potato
Finally dude! A video where we can see the driver POV. More of that please. We wanna see the road, the instruments, the dash.
Proud of you man! You're an inspiration for all of us to chase after our dreams! Keep killing it!
That looks like so much fun to drive!

Riley Sperbeck well then, welcome to the club.
Captain Highlighter thanks! glad to be be here 👍🏽👍🏽 lol
Captain Highlighter almost every Z4 owner on the internet has reached out, finding its a much closer community than the e46 gang was
Riley Sperbeck it does seem to be.
finally some recognition for my favourite car of ALL TIME!!😉
RadiantSeven you have good taste mate
The first time I drove a manual car, legally, was in a 1999 BMW Z3. Love that car... can't wait for winter to be over.
The Z4M Coupe is the pinnacle of the Z4 series
You didn't put the top down once :( Thats half the fun.
I've owned one of these I could fit two sets of clubs in the trunk. one of the best cars i've ever owned. loved it. traded in for bigger model.
parker is such a nice guy he is giving out cars to car enthusiasts and he is such a good person
Don't confuse it with being anything other than an investment on his part to gain more paying subscribers to his website
It is nice, but he will be profiting in the long run
Paid advertisement
Guy is such a Nice parker cars is giving him to enthousiasts good person is such a he
I can't believe people don't realize that. Also he buys the worst spec car like a giveaway m3 convertible smg. Same thing here, again convertible.
dude, you need to level your volume during videos, extremely loud music and normal volume speech audio, other than that thumbs up
Dude that car is insane
also tip parker if you are filming in this spot in the future you should film between 11am-1pm for optimal lighting
Parker. We love you. Honestly the best car channel on UA-cam!!!!

231 hp for the 3.0i
Not 239

I remember when I saw the original video. I was looking into buying one these straight outta High School. That was before I knew about cost of ownership but I really liked these back then.
They actually did a lot more engine sizes than just the 2.5 and 3.0. Including a 4 pot 2litre. 2.2, 3.2 M, 3.4 Alpina and 2006 onwards 2.5Si and 3.0Si
I love the z4
I like the give away car videos more because it’s a car that is more attainable for us younger viewers and it’s still a beautiful looking car!
6:00 when hi stops talking for the 1000 time that he is giving it away
Oh, I hope I win Parker. Like you, this is my actually obtainable dream car. I have always loved the Z cars. Thanks so much for all you do, Parker!
Man I'm loving this new 480p, sooo much better than 1080p.
Love that your doing this type of reviews again ☺👊👍🏻
I look over to the right and another video says "here's why the M2 is the only BMW I would buy". Nice one Parker
You need a "Pedro" or a "Rodgrigo" or "Sanchez" 😂
Since he's white, he's gotta need a "Bradley", "Jack", "Tanner"
charles chua 😂 Scott, Joe, or Chris..
Your into music + Bowers&Wilkins headphones = sending you my Otolaryngologist’s bill...right after I finish watching.
The z4 looks like a depressed Miata :(
CARlyle im dead😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BMW M lol can't argue with that 👍
CARlyle Wanna know what BMW stands for ?
Beating
My
Wife
Thecrazyheadphoneguy XD
CARlyle You are a ray of sunshine..
Parker, make a sweeping motion with your foot under the bumper when using that feature on the S Class.
Im waiting for Becca to try this petite bmw
This one got a navigation system installed and a aftermarket radio
How does it work ?
Ok
Well, just bought my fifth z4
you recorded this with a Motorola v3?
Parker please review a Lexus LFA. There is one at Lexus of Woodland Hills on Ventura Blvd in the showroom. It’s about 5-10 mins from Calabasas Park Estates.
1:04 rip my ears
Pro membership ftw! Still enjoying Xbox and forza, plus you can’t beat getting early uploads.
I have that same car...03 3.0 black on black 6 speed. I love that little beast.
Same wheels even.
Everything you said about that car is spot on.
Alot of people use that linkage in the in e46 as a short shifter...
Thanks for the tip on it being easy to learn manual!
1st video released after the giveaway is over - "5 things I hate about the BMW Z4"
You have to buy a z4 M for yourself, I love mine, WAY BETTER THAN A REGULAR Z4!
@ 13:02-how did the car seemingly automatically down gear at this point with out your hand on the stick?
Parker looks like care bear from a cartoon
Wha even
Its brillant! I love my manual Z4!
I have a few vids on my E85 for anyone that is a BMW fan :)
How about maintenance?
How is it possible to drive around LA without plates? I know he just bought the Z4 but I didn’t even notice a temporary plate on the car, as a matter of fact theres no plate to be seen on the Mercedes or even the Lambo... Here in NYC you cant get away with driving without proper registration, up to date inspection tag and plates in place(front and rear).
You have the Best enthusiasm level ever.
I imagine it’s like every other manual I see.
U switch the gears by ur self
does the US spec version have the sound generator ? I had one a long time ago UK spec (3.0 only i think had it) and you can remove part of the foam for increased noise in the cabin.
Easty027 mine has it so yes they do.
Great video, but if you don't know what is perfect car for canyon road, you have to drive alfa 156 2.5 v6 :) or 2.4 diesel
The boot sensor on your Mercedes didn’t work because you have to move your foot from side to side. But yes it doesn’t always work
A beautiful car. love me the roadsters.
To get your trunk to work swipe your foot back and fourth 3 times
Awesome video, thinking of buying a older BMW Z4 in the near future so this video is very helpful , even though its 3 years old 😅 Thanks PARKER !!!! 😁
Love the Z4
CarsofGlasgow oh yes and i do too
I wish I could drive stick shift but i LOVE to hold my radio remote with that hand!!! LOL
You know you're early when video is available only on 480p
Great little cars to be fair!
We are going to electro burn the fuel to atomize at optimal pressure (per cube inch) through a combustion motor.
With a new fuel system
In all vehicles (land,sea, air)
I’d love the Z4 but I live in Australia.
Do these cars have an lsd or is it an open diff?
Travis They all have an open diff, unless you get the 3.2L Z4M, so no it can't actually drift either.
cool thanks, surely you can bolt up the diff from the Z4M?
Travis from what I've seen/read, the diff in the Z4M is bigger and won't fit, although there is a company that does make one specifically for it though.
WHO else is watching in 480p???
Christian Grytten i am bro
Christian Grytten i didn't like it in 720p, and I think that 480 is way too low
Christian Grytten not only should Parker avoid uploading at less than 1080p but I think he should also post in 4K...
Me
Finally changed the sneakers. I kept watching the yeezies and not the cars in the previous vids lol
Parker, Is it necessary to have the music jump in with a 300% volume increase?
I am huge fan. Still remember the video and I know how special this car is to you. Who would have thought? Fast forward today, look at you. Congrats.
You should talk more about how you give the car away and stuff. I didn't quite get it.
What do you think of the 300z
Sounds lovely...but suspect the SLK350 from that generation sounds even better...
What year is that bmw I was going to buy one in about 6 months
2003 up to 2008 but I recommend 2006 to 2008 3.0SI.
Why is the video quallity in 480p?
Parker: I drive stick, driving stick is so fun, i'll teach you how to drive stick if you win the car
Also Parker: drives in 2nd and 3rd most of the video
My grandma drives better stick shift then Parker..
Is there an app for like gravity?
What’s it like to drive a manual Z4? You can only drive 4 yards before it breaks down
My dream car......
Put it on a dyno and see how many horses it’s lost over the years!
Did you use a slider to get the shots of the Z4?
Your proudest new pro member on like gravity
I agree with you. Lots of fun to drive.
Man I want to drive one so bad! And totally agree with how under rated these things are
So if i live in canada i can't be eligible to win any car giveaways?
Ik have bought a porsche 996 and it was very nice car with 300 horse power
it'd sound even better with the M3 CSL carbon airbox and a good stainless exhaust
why the low quality?
Because he's low quality...
you know da war to sucess Parker, i am thankful u give away cars
Does the car get shipped to you or does one have to go pick it up?
Wow I’m amazed how beautiful that car is
Hmmm, when did you get rid of the M5?
