Used BMW Z Series

The BMW Z-Series is built for road enjoyment. From the original Z3 of the 1990s to the sharper, more modern Z4, it’s always been about confident handling, sporty engines and wind-in-your-hair motoring. Later Z4s introduced a folding metal roof, offering extra insulation and practical usability. You’ll find the BMW Z-Series up against rivals like the Porsche Boxster and Audi TT Roadster – but it often edges ahead for comfort, price and long-distance cruising. Inside, expect a well-finished cabin and solid tech, especially on newer models. The Z3 (1997–2003) is now a modern classic, while the Z4 spans several generations, with the 2009–2017 era offering a great mix of engines, comfort and kit. Whether you go retro or modern, you’ll get a convertible that makes everyday drives feel special.

Pros

  • +Excellent handling and balance
  • +Eye-catching looks
  • +Good refinement for a roadster

Cons

  • -Limited boot space
  • -Running costs higher than average
  • -Firm ride on M Sport models
  • What are the key safety features of the BMW Z-Series?

    All BMW Z-Series models come with essentials like ABS, traction control and multiple airbags. From 2009 onwards, Z4s added more advanced kit, including electronic stability control, dynamic brake assist and built-in rollover protection for extra reassurance. If you’re looking at a second-generation Z4 (with the folding metal roof), you’ll also benefit from added security and insulation compared with the earlier soft-top.

  • What engine options are available with the BMW Z-Series?

    If you’re looking at the latest BMW Z4 (G29), you’ll find a straightforward engine range. The sDrive20i and sDrive30i use a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, offering a balance of efficiency and sporty punch. At the top of the line, the M40i packs a 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder for serious performance. All versions are rear-wheel drive and come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, so whichever you choose, you’ll get that classic BMW roadster feel.

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the BMW Z-Series?

    Earlier BMW Z-Series models are more basic, with manual air con and standard radios. Post-2011 Z4s get more tech as standard – think Bluetooth, DAB, parking sensors and BMW’s iDrive infotainment with sat nav on higher trims.

  • What is the fuel consumption of the BMW Z-Series?

    Four-cylinder BMW Z4s can return up to 41.5mpg (official combined figure), while six-cylinder models average around 31mpg. Real-world economy varies – if you tend to drive with spirit, expect a little less.

  • What should I check when buying a used BMW Z-Series?

    Make sure the roof opens and closes smoothly, check for suspension creaks and inspect tyres – especially if they’re run-flats. Look out for electrical quirks, and make sure infotainment and safety tech work as intended. The AA Vehicle Inspection can offer peace of mind.

  • Are BMW Z-Series cars reliable?

    BMW generally performs respectably in reliability surveys, sitting mid-table among premium rivals. With the Z-Series, some owners have reported issues with minor electrics and run-flat tyres, so it’s worth keeping an eye on those. If you stay on top of servicing and maintenance, you’re likely to find the BMW Z-Series a dependable choice – and many drivers report being very happy with their cars’ reliability.
