Thinking of buying the 2014 BMW Z4?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2014 BMW Z4; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2014 BMW Z4, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Z4
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 7 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 9.0 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 27 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.75 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
What the Z4 is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
A longer test drive
Try the Z4 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Z4 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.75 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $157.50 at our price setting.
Ready to ask?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
