2004 BMW Z4 - Greatest fun car I ever owned
This is my first BMW, and when I got it was beyond my expectations. Build quality is amazing; interior materials feel high quality, and fit snugly with each other. Seats are very comfortable and have a lot of adjustability. Ride quality is very focus on performance, but still forgiving on bumpy roads/surfaces. My model came loaded with a premium BOSE stereo, having 12 speakers. Comes with front, side, and knee airbags. Top goes up and down in less then 12 seconds. Visibility is very good, although the side pillars are hefty, as it is understandable they need extra sturdiness due to convertible factors of design. Engine is very smooth, very powerful, but yet still efficient, I usually get 34mpg on average. Engines is a work of art, shifting is super precise and gear ratios or spot on. ...

One fault I was not crazy about is the stock wheels/tires, they are run flat tires which pickup a lot of noise and are very expensive to replace. There is no spare tire, so run flats are the only option on that car. BMW Service is great and it comes with free oil, brake, and loaner car. Overall it is a amazing vehicle! One nugget that I like about this car is how many BMW owners appreciate and are passionate about their cars. Every time I pull to a gas station or pass other BMW owners, they either honk, or stop and chat about their proud and joy. Its a one happy family!
I live in Pennsylvania in a mountain region of the state. I remember taking this car for my first ride, and once I hit that first twist on the road, it gave me the biggest smile I have ever had! I think my mouth was hurting that night from smiling so much, its a nice place to be..
