“We haven’t got any service history but we have got a locking wheel nut and some sun cream, so it isn’t all bad is it” … absolutely classic Matt… hilarious 👍👍😂😂
Good result! A straight six sounds so good! Talking about valeting have you tried a can of tyre foam cleaner to clean the engine bay? Warm the engine a few minutes switch off then spray the entire engine bay including engine. Use all the can around £5 for a tin. Then close the bonnet. The next day open the bonnet and be prepared to be amazed! As the spray is designed for cleaning rubber tyres all the rubber piping gets conditioned and becomes shiny new. Just try it !
I own a Z4 and in my opinion they are criminally underrated. You’ve got a lot of room compared to a Miata and the engine is just magnificent. So smooth and good sounding. With the NA Miata market skyrocketing here in Germany, the Z4 is an amazing alternative.
The internal space is only good for the smaller man. If you’re 6ft 7 like me you will struggle for legroom. Bad form from the German since they are tall on average.
I considered MX-5, Z4 and AF Spider. One of my colleague told me that i should buy MX-5, but since i already own 2 BMWs and the maintance is quite similiar between them, then i decided to look at Z4 first. After the test drive i decided to buy it. It is 2,5si 160kW with red M-sport interior and... oh my god. This car is just fantastic. Every time i drive it... No regret at all. Only one thing is bad, if i consider other people. The sport seats suits me very well, but if anybody has 85kg+, then the fitment into those seats is not quite good. I am a little person, so i am just fine :D
Very happy owner of 2004 Z4. My father sold it to me with 18,000 on the clock only two years ago. Immaculate! I will never need any more car than this as it's got plenty of power and performance to get you in trouble. The styling was about 20 years ahead of its time as it looks very current now (moreso than when it was introduced).Simply a great fun roadster! Pick one up if you can! You will not be disappointed. 👍
A father selling a car to his son lmao what a society. Here what my father owns is mine, what I own is his and someday when I have children they will own what I have.
M54 is a super reliable, bullet proof engine. These cars are very well made. Best era of BMW in my opinion. Had one of the facelift version with the N52 engine, which is also very reliable. Again, incredible cars for the money 20 years later.
@@brunorodriguesmaso I'll stick with my MX5 ND2. 185bhp is enough for something that light, the handling is the best thing this side of an Elise, and I know it won't present me with any horrific bills. Oh, and it won't leak, either!
Shame they don’t actually sound like that anymore though, my mums got a 19 plate one and it’s as quiet as a mouse 😢 except if you’re sitting in it…. It ‘makes the sound’ through the speakers 😭💀😂
@@amydrawss Engine sound through the speakers is horrible. I don’t understand BMW does something so cringey and fake but they do. The B58 engine (i6) doesn’t need any loudspeakers ‘enhancements’ though in my opinion.
Possibly the best car for a couple of grand. Still looks modern and pretty, sounds awesome due to having a proper engine, RWD, manual… what’s not to love? Glad you didn’t massively overspend either! I fancy one now to pair with my M140i 😂
come on man, here in my country a 3.0i one is about 8-11k euros with a VERY HEAVY yearly tax too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my dream car.... the UK's used car market is too good to be true
Very cheap here in the UK, if all the issues had been sorted it would sell for about £3,000 maybe even more. I have a Z4 and my yearly tax is about £400, the tax on petrol is even worse...
I admire how you call yourself a loser and sad but you're definitely not, Matt. You're an enthusiast. The part of the vid seeing the old Plymouth blue range rover zoom by and you immediately knew what it was. I can state all my previous car numberplates and my parents cars too. Now that's REALLY sad 😂. And in no way useful! I'm also good with identifying headlights, tail lights and wheels to identify cars. What has my life become haha
I’ve just one and it’s absolutely brilliant. 3.0si with sound generator mod it’s deafening when you get past 5k revs. That’s a non xenon but they have spec’d headlamp wash.
That engine noise is fabulous. Proper. That gen of Z4 has really grown into its looks now and I love that era of BMW dashboards and dials. Everything is clear and simple. Now we have to pipe in pretend straight-six noises and hope nobody notices while they're busy configuring a baffling digital instrument display 😂
When I was 21 in 2007 I bought a 2003 reg 2.5i for £14,995. Had only done 19,000 miles when I bought it. That thing was epic travelling round Scotland.
ive got a 2.5 litre 5 speed version, not as well liked but not had a issue, had the motor for the roof changed and moved to the boot, 72000 miles and a 2005 its a great wee car
I have the same car, a 2004 Z4 E85 5-speed just love it. Solved the roof motor issue moved into the boot, and gave it a good clean, what a great-looking car still eyecatching over these 20 year.
Central locking always dies. The relays in the central module need replacing but are soldered in alas. Check the drains at the back of the sills are clear. Roof in these is excellent. I have the early 2.5i as does my mate. The early M54 sixes are much less hassle than the later N52s.
Had a z4 myself for a bit, but went off country road here in US and popped back tired and into the ditch it went but not to much damage at first glance, but when they got under it at the BMW dealer having bought it used they found a lot of issues at 8000 dollars worth according to them. And yes the lovely motor in the boot worked for awhile then stopped and I tried to replace which was a pain in the.................. It was nice car though for driving around and commnets I got on it. Love old MG's though but rust buckets here in the US mostly and expensive. Thanks for the memories Matt. Have a good one.
I'd imagine most of that cost is just the US being the US and charging extra just cos it's a BMW 😂 old MGs here are also pretty much all rusty unless it's been restored at some point. Although even restored ones can also be rusty depending on when they were restored. I saw one up for sale and it had been restored in 2001 and was already having the rust creeep back into it. Unfortunate really
That's trick! You don't have to clean it off! The dirty disappears and so does the foam! Try it, spray the engine, shut the bonnet and then look at it the next day. Job done!
Nice one. Cars in the Uk are so much cheaper than iin Europe! This would cost twice as much here (Netherlands) if LHD of course.. You forgot to mention that BMW in-line sixes over 2L are the best engines there are, together with the good old Jaguar 4.2 in-line 6. You can;t get any sweeter running than thhat 😄
Well done you’ve just told everyone your going to paint over the rust with hammerite to make it look better instead of getting rid of the rust first to prevent progression
Hi Matt. Great vision as usual. Just wondering when you buy a car why do they end up in that same car park and who brings them there??. Keep up the great content. 👍🚗
Depends whether you are roof down Red looking to swallow some flies or roof up Blue trying to hide you glee. Hope the Z performs better than we did yesterday.
Had a 3 litre coupe and ran it for three years on a 2008 reg ex demo , took me all over europe and enjoyed it very much, never had any problems it was just services only plus tyres , overall it was a good car with fun factor built in.
Had one of these, best cure forcthe roof issue, is to cut the bottom of the star type drain tubes from the roof cavities, then they wont clog and fill with water.. Motor service kits are available, and not hortific to do, but not easy.
I love your reference to Borat Mat, with your "what type of dog is this?" comment every now and again in one of your videos. It's my favourite quote from that film! ❤
Had 4 of these straight six engines. In a Z3, a 7 series, a 3 series and a 5 series. 3 out of 4 eventually blew their head gaskets with no prior cooling fault or other warning despite meticulous maintenance and not being thrashed. Great engines when they are healthy but.. Have I just been unlucky or have others had this experience?
They still look fresh. Your friend who bought the car got a great deal. So much car for the money. Can I be on your list of friends?!Something fascinating in taking an older car, a quick refresh, and potentially another chapter in the car’s life can be written. I hope he makes some memorable trips in it. 👍
Happy ending to this one 😀. At the start I was sure it was going to end up on your forecourt for £4500 to include £3k worth of very recent service history and a trip through the demi monde of Greater Manchester's indie BMW specialists. I'd happily watch that video too .
Just sold mine after 9 years... bought it for the summer,,lik just one summer, then fell in love!! From 190kkm to 280kkm nothing went wrong... apart for my back! alredy missing it!
Can’t agree there. I was faced with that choice in 2010 but chose a SLK350. Kept it for 11 years and despite its woeful build quality and reliability, I loved it. Got a Z4 M40i now which makes me wish I’d tried a Z4 sooner
@@colin7632The Mazda MX5 has roughly the same power to weight ratio as a Nissan 240z! My partner has had two and bigger engine would make the car more expensive so it’s down to a budget build quality and refinement would need addressing. Before you know it you’ve a Z4 rival. The MX5 is great at its price but really would need to be an MX7 😮
My 2000 Boxster is running well and has been a very reliable car and a blast to drive, particularly in the curves. The Z4 is definitely a contender for a consideration!
Hi Matt, I have just bought a 2016 Z4 2.0 M Sport in beautiful Estoril Blue Metallic, just on a whim, must be my age lol, live nr Marple so you may see me around 😊
Another great vid Matt. It was the grin when you put your foot down! If a car can do that to you, buy it or get another....just for fun...you only live once....
That dreaded trio of lights on the dash means your abs pump has sticking bushes. £2500 new fitted from a Main dealer, or £300-£400 to get reconditioned. With those lights on it’s not only means your have no abs brakes, traction control or stability control and its an instant MOT failure, I Know because mine failed on my 2007 Z4 Coupe. Luckily got the original reconditioned whilst I waited before my next MOT was due.
Always had a soft spot for the Z4, Love the alloys. I think I would go for the coupe. Especially living in the driech west coast of Scotland! Love the video. I would have kept it till after the summer. Great vid.
Hi Matt Another fun video! Great. I never thought of putting the heated passenger seat on for ambient heat..top tip ! I was just thinking don't rev a cold engine then you said it! I hate being predictable:( Love the ice cool hoodie colour. Take care Tony
What a thing for under two grand, soft top straight six with a manual, pay more for a doggy MX5 or several times more for an S2000. Matt, if you fancy a 350Z my son has a 2006 convertible he might be looking to move on as he wants an Ariel Atom now, not seen you do a 350Z, and its grey like the Z4.
As a rule I don't drive or own any German cars, something handed down to me from my great-grandfather, but if I did, the Z4 would be towards the top of my list. The styling is really strong all-round, rwd, and who doesn't like a straight-6?!

Always had a soft spot for the Z4, Love the alloys. I think I would go for the coupe. Especially living in the driech west coast of Scotland! Love the video. I would have kept it till after the summer. Great vid.
Hi Matt
Another fun video! Great.
I never thought of putting the heated passenger seat on for ambient heat..top tip !
I was just thinking don't rev a cold engine then you said it! I hate being predictable:(
Love the ice cool hoodie colour.
Take care
Tony
What a thing for under two grand, soft top straight six with a manual, pay more for a doggy MX5 or several times more for an S2000. Matt, if you fancy a 350Z my son has a 2006 convertible he might be looking to move on as he wants an Ariel Atom now, not seen you do a 350Z, and its grey like the Z4.
As a rule I don't drive or own any German cars, something handed down to me from my great-grandfather, but if I did, the Z4 would be towards the top of my list. The styling is really strong all-round, rwd, and who doesn't like a straight-6?!
My dad used to say to me "better a 10% profit on something than a 50% profit on nothing; money is money no matter how little"
Matt, what about all the water coming in? That amount of damp - mouldy seat belts etc, ain't going to get better by itself!
That's what I thought. The car was soaking wet! And that ill fitting front bumper. Alarm bells
Matt, in Bristol Pu er is not a colour it is what you use to access the internet and get your emails instead of your phone.
Hahaha
Must have features - convertible, 2-seater, RWD, quick - meets compromises - economy, family - and a 320d it is.
Well done ur a car Guru now in the sun newspaper ❤
Well, that's me straight on Autotrader to look at BMW Z4's.
It was that 6 cylinder sound that got you looking right?!
Just a thought but have you ever considered going into some slightly older classics say some 70s or 80s cars
Agree! 👍
Crazy how cheap these are. Drove ours across Europe, perfect for the trip.
' o look at this an old range rover classic in Plymouth blue' brilliant, and definitely not a loser
Love your videos
