BMW Z4M Roadster Review Library

I was always looking for reviews before making my mind up over 1-2 years, so these might help somebody. They are not spam but are a collection of reviews an owner in the States collected over a long period of time mostly of the M Roadster in case someone needs them.

Some are even in English :rofl:

Please let me know if not ok and I will remove :thumbsup:

Bugger me that's a lot of reading :o

I didn't even drive my M before I bought it :lol:
 
Well I picked one at random and it was excellent. :thumbsup: If I ever have a few weeks spare I might read a few more. :)

I'm gonna wing it. After all, ive had mine nearly 3 years and know the good, the bad and the ugly of it by heart! Lol

Best bet.

First one I read said it had a 3.3 litre engine.

Second on was for an E89
 
Great collection of articles , I enjoyed the Evo roadtest with the Z4MR , the Boxster S and the Tuscan as I have owned all of these.
Great collection

Ditto, I sat in mine about 3 weeks before I went back to buy it. I just wanted to check my 6.4" frame would fit in one ok. I am really glad that It was a two owner car, that had been really well cared for by the previous owners.
 
One of the articles says the M roadsters were exclusively built in a dedicated plant in the US, whereas the Coupes were built in Germany.

Explains perfectly why Coupes are worth more... :poke:
