The 2016 BMW Z4 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 BMW Z4 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2016 BMW Z4 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and seat belts; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual. 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.
It is rated at 9.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. A 300 km round trip 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.
The Z4 in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
When the Z4 makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the Z4 on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $157.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
