2004 BMW Z4 Roadster review from North America
"I think it is a wonderful car that has the potential to turn into a money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had a constant problem with the security system. The system doesn't work correctly. We have had it in the shop several times and it is currently in the shop getting a new computer put in for the security and comfort zones. Fortunately, it is still under warranty. Anxious to see if it fixes the problem.
It is an accident magnet. It has been hit several times and not when we have been in the car.
Took it on a short trip the other day and the BMW side light blew off. The light needs to be replaced. The car looks awful without it.
I'm about to trade it in before more goes wrong with it. Warranty is about up.
General comments?
The car drives beautifully. Love the luxury and the interior.
It handles great on the highway, even on the autobahns in Europe. Keeps up with the best of them.
