Conversation-piece looks, great engines, fine finish, solid feel, road-holding, well-engineered roadster hood, monstrous Z4 M
Looks aren't to everyone's liking, limited stowage space, hard ride in some versions
Intriguing-looking sports car that's a massive step up from the Z3, but keen drivers will still prefer the Porsche Boxster or Cayman.




Second-hand prices have eased since more Z4s have come to the end of their initial lease deals, and there are a number around to choose from - some surprisingly cheap. Residual (resale) values are generally strong, but a Z4 must have immaculate bodywork and a full service history to fetch top money. Comes up cheaper model-for-model than the Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and can also be better value than the Audi TT.
