BMW Z4 E89

[ChrisThomas]

Hiya,

So a family member of mine is looking into the E89 Z4, something with about 80k on the clock, I just wanted to see if anyone had any sort of advice or know of any common issues, reliability, etc...

I would rate the Sdrive20i as it would probably be the most economical in terms of fuel economy....

Just wanted to see if anyone had some useful input?

Never buy a sports car for fuel economy, otherwise, you will regret it.

Lol, no that's not what I meant, I just meant that it would be better with fuel than the straight 6 N/A engine or the 3.0 twin turbo also available.

I guess it depends on your need, use it as daily or weekender?E89 Z4 is great, and I think it looks the best out of all the Z4, just a pity that it does not have a Z4M model.

Also compare to the SLK, it drives much better and compare to the TT, you won't feel like you are driving a reshaped GTi. There are also the 370Z (Japanese Muscle car) and the MX5 (very fun to drive, you can push it to the limit and have full control).
