Thinking of buying the 2005 BMW Z4?

A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 191 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.5L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.2 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $19.60 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Z4 in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Good uses for the Z4
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent the Z4 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Z4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Z4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
