BHPian tictactoe<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Hi Friends,<\/p>\n I’m planning to change my current 520d to something more fun. I have been eyeing the Z4 since possibly 10 years. First it was beyond my reach. When I bought the 520d – I was more keen on buying a daily ride as it was my first luxury car. But now I’m really thinking of a roadster. I saw that BMW has refreshed its Z4. My heart still goes out to it. I want to know is that still a good choice in 2023 \/ 24 (its been around for sometime) and if it’s practical on Indian highways (I even had trouble with speed bumps near Hampi in a 5 series). Anything else I should be aware of? I live in Mumbai if that matters.<\/p>\n Here’s what GTO<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n If you love the Z4 since 10 years, go for it . Quick, fun, usable, backed by BMW’s reliability & service network. Also consider the Audi RS5 which is fast & more practical.<\/p>\n Personally, if I’m spending so much money, I prefer pre-worshipped cars as most of them suffer rapid depreciation. Something like a used M3 or M4, Boxster \/ Cayman, 911 etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian mgastor2022grey<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n Hi @tictactoe, The Z4 is a beast of a machine, yet very impractical. Are you a family of 2? Yes, go for it. Are you a family of 3\/4? Retain the 520D and buy the Z4 (if pocket is not torn). Do you want something sexy but practical? Take the BMW M340i.<\/p>\n I’d actually say, used car market is on fire now, check in regularly and you will get some beastly deals. Follow TeamBHP’s used car checklist and you are good to go.<\/p>\n If you just want to spruce up your 520D, try tuning it or adding a custom exhaust, something like that. You can even do a lateral upgrade as specified by GTO.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
