Thinking of buying the 2016 BMW Z4?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 BMW Z4 for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2016 BMW Z4, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Z4
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. 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.
Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $47.25 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Z4 is like
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Z4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Talk to a person
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 BMW Z4 from us first.
