Hi ! 2.0ltr-3ltr-3ltr turbo charged it is all about choices, if you are happy to go for the 2.0ltr then go for it........you can always remove the badges and basically no one would know the difference (save for the exhaust).... for most it is price which is the key driver!!!

Well it all depends on what you want. if you want speed then go with the 35i or the 35is. But if you just want the good looks then the 20i is more than enough.

That's pretty awesome if you can get a Z4 as your first car. I drove a 10 year old VW Jetta as my first car so from my perspective a brand new z4 2.0 is an amazing start.

Be sure to get some high performance driving training at a local racetrack as well. That's a lot of cornering potential for a novice driver.

I had to buy my parents 1971 Ols Cutlass Station Wagon for my first car. Lucky for me I was able to sell it 6 months later and bought a 1973 Torino (think Starsky and Hutch). Thats was a cool car back in the mid 70's

a Z4 for your first car will be quite a treat. Just take good care of it

Z4 as your first & only car wouldn't be the smartest choice but if you can do with 2 seats and not much luggage space, go for it. 2.0i is good enough

I had a 2.0 Toyota for a first car :P

To give you a more serious answer.....It should not matter whether this is your first car, second car or 12th car you've ever purchased. The decision should be based on if the car fits your needs or not.

My old 2004 E85 Z4 3.5i is my 17 year-old son's first car.

Seems to work out pretty well. He hasn't crashed it yet.
