 Used Vehicle Review:   Surprisingly for a high-end German car, the Z4 appears to be quite reliable, says Contributing Editor, Chris Chase. There are a few things to look out for though, such as potential power steering glitches and convertible top problems. More: View the photos | All the Used Vehicle Reviews

Pricing for 2003 is messed up.
I might be one of the few that like the Z4's look better than the Z3. As far as roadsters go, very impressive, but me thinks there's better value in the S2000 and MX-5 |

I do like the look of the Z4s. $24,000+ for a used 2003 is rather pricey, IMO. The S2000 is a better choice for enthusiasts. |

The engine / transmission alone would make me want to save a few extra pennies for one of these over an S2000 or MX5 unless the intent is for a mostly-track-use car.
I would imagine finding good, low mileage US cars is probably pretty easy, and with them being built in SC, there would be no duty bringing them across, right? |

I like the Z4 a lot, and weird maybe, but I like the coupe form better than the roadster. Especially in MSport dress.  |

That is correct no duty on the Z4. I like the Z4 a lot, and weird maybe, but I like the coupe form better than the roadster. Especially in MSport dress. Agreed. It looks so good in Coupe form. There was one for sale in Ottawa months ago for $55,000 |

Also prefer the Z4 to the Z3.
The earlier car always seemed a bit too small and insubstantial. |

You're kidding right? You actually think the tranny in the BMW is better than the S2000?? S2000 is one of the finest manual trannies I've ever driven... I get the engine part (I6=yummy) but the tranny?? Quit joking around already....  |

Not to mention the Z4 Ms' have been known to have their shifter knob fall off when being handled less than gently  |
