If you like what you read here, then reach out to the team at BMW of Stratham to schedule your test drive!
As you’d expect from a coupe of this caliber, the BMW Z4 runs on a powerful engine. In fact, it gives you two to choose from:
Both engines are high-powered and race-ready, as you can tell by their outputs. The 2.0L engine delivers 254 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque. It can also get you from 0 MPH to 60 MPH in as few as 5.2 seconds under the right conditions. This engine has a top speed of 155 MPH. Remember, it’s always important to keep safety in mind while driving.
The 3.0L engine, on the other hand, gives you even more power, with an output of 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. It has an acceleration time of 3.9 seconds when going from 0 MPH to 60 MPH. It also has a top speed of 155 MPH.
Both engines come paired with an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with automatic Sport and Manual shift modes. Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters help you change gears easily while giving you that sporty feel you crave.
The BMW Z4 may be a convertible coupe, but it’s still got plenty of room to spare inside the cabin. It seats a total of two passengers with the following dimensions:
Depending on the trim level, the seats are 14-way power-adjustable and include a memory system so that they’re easy to put back in place after someone else borrows the car. Plus, they feature an available automatic parking function that slides the seats back when you park for easy exit.
Meanwhile, the available BMW Ambient lighting helps to set the tone for the drive and available 3-stage heated front seats help keep everyone warm, even during the brutal New England wintertime.
Finally, let’s take a look at all the high-tech features inside the BMW Z4. Starting with the cabin, you’ll find a 10.25-inch touchscreen display in the center stack. The Live Cockpit Professional system includes natural voice control and iDrive 7.0 with Bluetooth® wireless technology.
Apple CarPlay™ is available and allows you to integrate your compatible smartphone with your car so that you can access some of your favorite apps while on the go. These include navigation, audio books, internet radio streaming, and phone contacts.
As you drive, you’ll have the available Active Guard suite of driver-assist features on your side to help you drive more confidently. This suite includes the following systems:
The latter feature also includes Daytime Pedestrian Protection to help you stay extra safe while traversing through school zones or crowded city streets on the way to the office.

This dealership makes you feel at home. Everything is fast quick very proactive people are outstanding and very friendly.
The service team in Stratham is consistently responsive when your vehicle needs to be serviced as soon as possible. We typically work with Pawl C but he wasn’t working so Adam and Binit did an amazing job getting my vehicle serviced today. I received frequent updates about the progress they were making and I was notified when the work was complete. Their messages were clear and concise and when I picked up the car both were friendly and courteous. I would recommend Stratham location to family and friends. Thanks again Adam and Bitin for top notch customer service.
They are always extremely polite, Matt always is so efficient and communicates all details, very helpful
Service department is great. Helpful and stays to projected completion time. Didn’t buy here so can’t rate sales.
Everything was great. Procedure took two hours as predicted. Waiting room is very comfortable. Thank you
My Advisor listened to my needs and preferences and tailored my repairs to meet them.
Top notch…..sales, service done to perfection!!!!! Would definitely reccommend to anyone thinking of purchasing a BMW!
Service advisors explained everything clearly. Everyone is professional and knowledgeable. Always a pleasant experience. My car is now in top shape to pass on to my son.
Great service. Representative was courteous, informative and helpful. Bought vehicle elsewhere, this was first visit for service. I’ll be back.
Great service, as always, from BMW of Stratham. Clear communication and very accommodating availability. Recommend.
Matt Webster was great. Very responsive and helpful as always. We strongly recommend Matt and the dealership.
Very good job on service aspect-the “welcome “ area and process for arriving service customers is bit awkward. Not clear as to where you go when you arrive and no clear process regarding which service manager will be working with you. Once in the process if flowed smoothly and the work was excellent.
I leased a BMW from this dealer back in the 1990’s and this was the first time back for service on a new-to-me certified X7. Matt was my assigned service lead and expedited me through the process in a thoughtful manner. Prior to my arrival, Adam the service group leadership also took the time to validate an offering from BMW of North America for me. The only hiccup was that I was sent a confirmation for a drop-off service, but had scheduled a while-you wait service. This was quickly corrected. Thanks Team.
Excellent service from Susan B. She helped us order an M850i and X4M40 at the same time, when another dealer was too concerned re tariffs and pricing Stratham’s management team took care off us. Highly recommended.
Efficient, helpful and create a useful video walk through that shows the status of my car when in the lift
Starting with Matt, my service guru manager, from start to finish the experience is professional, timely and of the highest quality. I am pleased with the advice I get and the knowledge of the staff. I have purchased an X3 here based on my experience with service. Prices are good, but for me it is about the comfort of knowing I get what I pay for.
Just moved to the Seacoast and started using this dealer for service. Very happy so far. We also bought a car from them and the process was very smooth
Very good service for my oil change today. Easy to schedule online. Greeted immediately when I arrived. Car was ready on time.
The dealership was very helpful in getting me in to get my inspection sticker, I appreciated very much.
Binit was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the issues my car was experiencing. He gave me the right suggestions and made sure my car got the right attention to detail.
I am a first time owner of a BMW. Everyone and Susan supportive and helpful.
Great customer service and service department! I will only have my vehicle serviced by Stratham BMW
Came to this dealership just by chance. I never felt pressured and everyone I met that first day were friendly and accommodating. The salesperson was very personable and helpful, he listened to what I was looking for.
Very straight forward. Efficient, friendly service. Kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you
They are very professional and very knowledgeable, easy to talk to. They not only great salesmen (Steve Hazard), ther even have a technical person (Haley Heinrich) to explain the complex electronics.
I want to begin by saying that I take full responsibility for purchasing a vehicle "as-is" and was aware of the potential risks involved with buying a five-year-old pre-owned car. I also want to be clear that I have not asked for a refund or made any demands—my goal from the beginning has simply been to share my experience honestly.
That said, I believe it's also fair to express my disappointment. Despite the inspection your team performed, some basic maintenance items and issues were missed, which led to over $1,500 in repairs only a month after taking ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Jun 6, 2025
I want to begin by saying that I take full responsibility for purchasing a vehicle "as-is" and was aware of the potential risks involved with buying a five-year-old pre-owned car. I also want to be clear that I have not asked for a refund or made any demands—my goal from the beginning has simply been to share my experience honestly.
That said, I believe it's also fair to express my disappointment. Despite the inspection your team performed, some basic maintenance items and issues were missed, which led to over $1,500 in repairs only a month after taking delivery. I understand that mistakes happen—we're all human—and I don’t fault the technician personally. But this experience has been frustrating, especially as a repeat customer who chose to work with your dealership again based on trust.
My decision to post reviews and file a BBB case wasn’t out of spite—it was the only outlet I had to advise others to approach similar purchases with caution. If your team had shown more willingness to address the situation beyond referring to the Buyer’s Guide disclaimer, I likely wouldn’t have taken that route. I truly believe things could have been handled better if there had been any indication of interest in maintaining an ongoing relationship, not just with me but with the local network I’m part of.
As someone who works in sales and travels regularly across the state, I interact with a wide range of clients and peers—and this experience is something I’ve shared and will continue to share. Nothing I’ve posted or spoken about is fabricated; it’s all rooted in my genuine disappointment with how this situation unfolded.
While I never demanded a specific resolution, a goodwill gesture—something as modest as partial coverage of my unexpected expenses—would have gone a long way toward restoring trust and demonstrating that customer experience still matters. Even a gesture in the range of $500 would signal that the dealership values long-term relationships over short-term transactions.
Unfortunately, as it stands, I don’t see myself returning to the dealership or recommending it in the future, which is regrettable considering the potential for continued business.
In total, the repairs performed by Tesla on May 28, 2025, included:
Brake Fluid Check: $20.50
Cabin Air Filter Replacement: $58.60
HEPA Filter Replacement: $344.20
Low Voltage Battery Service: $226.50 ( FAILED TEST )
Addressing Noise & Vibration (half shaft lubrication): $760.44
Automated Tire Pressure Check and Adjustment: $0.00
The total amount paid was $1,410.24.
Please learn from my experience at this dealership and be sure to do a pre-sale inspection.
Stratham - professional, clean and on time car dealership. Adam is the best - love his humor!
Great customer service and quality workmanship. Definitely highly recommended and I will be back for future service requirements.
Adam at the service department is a total scammer. He lies through his teeth on what ’s going on with your car. And when you call him out on an obvious discrepancy (such as doubling the estimate on the exact same work 6-months apart,) he acts like it’s the software’s fault for miscalculating when he knows xxxx well what average labor and parts costs are as a manager in the business. Do not trust a word he says. He’s slimy. I expect a dealer to be more costly than an indie shop, but did not expect blatant ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Jun 5, 2025

One of the fast and best experience I have had in recent years will recommend
Clean and well laid out dealership with excellent support and service. I had a no hassle buying experience with a friendly, funny and highly responsive salesperson who knew the ropes
My first service visit was professional, pleasant and I was kept informed by text and phone.
First time here and I'd have to say top notch service very friendly very accommodating all around has been a great experience, I would highly recommend to anyone
Courteous and professional staff. I love the meticulous service and report service techs have for customers after diagnosing a problem with my car.
Title: Extremely Disappointed – Over $1,100 in Basic Maintenance Missed by BMW of Stratham
I recently purchased a used Tesla Model S from BMW of Stratham, NH, and to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.
Despite being a returning customer, I was sold a vehicle that was far from properly maintained. Yes, I understand the car was sold "AS IS" and not a BMW—but basic vehicle safety and maintenance should not be optional.
I took the car directly to Tesla after purchase for an inspection and was shocked to learn that it required over $1,100 in immediate service ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - May 28, 2025
Title: Extremely Disappointed – Over $1,100 in Basic Maintenance Missed by BMW of Stratham
I recently purchased a used Tesla Model S from BMW of Stratham, NH, and to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.
Despite being a returning customer, I was sold a vehicle that was far from properly maintained. Yes, I understand the car was sold "AS IS" and not a BMW—but basic vehicle safety and maintenance should not be optional.
I took the car directly to Tesla after purchase for an inspection and was shocked to learn that it required over $1,100 in immediate service to bring it up to standard. Here's just a snapshot of what BMW of Stratham completely neglected:
Brake Fluid Check – Not performed
Cabin Air Filter Replacement – Neglected
HEPA Filter Replacement – Required and not addressed
12V Auxiliary Battery Replacement – Battery was near end-of-life, risking vehicle shutdown
Clicking Noise in Suspension – Needed diagnostics and lubrication of both rear half shafts
This isn't about minor cosmetic issues—it’s about neglecting essential items that any reputable dealer should verify before selling a vehicle.
What’s worse, I felt pressured to close the deal quickly because the "offer" was only good until the end of the month. I didn’t have time for a proper pre-purchase inspection, trusting that a respected dealership would do their due diligence. That trust was clearly misplaced.
I urge potential buyers to exercise extreme caution when dealing with BMW of Stratham—especially if you're purchasing a non-BMW vehicle. Their lack of transparency and basic accountability has cost me over $1,100 and left me feeling misled and frustrated.
BMW of Stratham - Great dealership with excellent service representative. Another outstanding experience with the staff and maintenance experts. The detailed information and videos was very helpful. No hidden charges and everything explained thoroughly during the service visit. Highly recommend this dealership. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
Scot Murby is a great salesman. I have been dealing with him for 13 years.
From start to finish, the people of BMW of Stratham provided exemplary customer service. Everyone I encountered made it their mission to make the purchasing process smooth and worry-free. Kevin, my salesperson, was not only highly knowledgeable but, just as importantly, kind. He patiently answered all my questions from our initial meeting to returning subsequent phone calls as we navigated the process. He cared about me as a person and my experience as a customer. Buying a car can often be stressful because as customers we anticipate, and often experience, a high-pressure and even disrespectful environment. That is completely nonexistent ...

Great service team, Adam W and Ken D. It was a nice touch to receive a video recording and explanation of the work.
Paul is super
Ease of scheduling, super convenient same day service. I’m a traveling Merchant Marine Captain and professional photographer that travels the country for work and pleasure. This dealership is my go to when my x5 needs service and I’m in the area. Fantastic service staff! Thanks everyone for your professionalism
Our experience buying a car with Susan Boucher at BMW of Stratham was a pleasure. She was knowledgeable and was attentive to our needs. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect car. All in all, it was the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle.
Fantastic dealership! Sales and service is top tier! Looking forward to many more years (and miles) with Stratham BMW!
This is my second time buying a car at BMW of Stratham and both times it has been a very easy, no pressure purchase.
Personell was very pleasant and helpful.
Pawel went above and beyond when communicating with me on the status of my repair
I’ve been a client of BMW of Stratham for over three years, and their customer service continues to be as strong as ever. My check out today for an annual service was less than three minutes. Fabulous!
Took my 2021 BMW X 5 in for service at BMW Statham to swap snow tires for regular tires, check for servicing needs, replace wipers and have detailed cleaning which is always amazing! Everyone, me included thinks I have a band new car.
They even found a winter glove and a favorite brush I thought were lost. Thank you & thanks to my Advisor, Powel Czyz!
Saw a video of tires showing many more miles to go. They did a state inspection as well. Haley, the on site Genius helped me download music from my iPhone to Car Play on my BMW!

Future reference- Coupe loaner too low to ground for 5’11” 76 year old & next time need help connecting my iPhone to loaner.
Very satisfactory visit with all staff being helpful and friendly. Shop suggested putting matching paint on door scratch with a toothpick, as only need a small dab.
Pawl in the service dept. always takes care of the customer.
Excellent service!
Excellent attentive service department.
I needed a new battery. I arrived they took my car and I waited in the very clean comfortable waiting room. They were quick and even washed my car! Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable!
Everyone is so nice, the experience was completely hassle free, will definitely be buying from them again in the future
We bought this Lexus after test driving a Honda CRV in NH. The staff was great and it was late in the evening but they made sure the deal got done so we could bring it home to Maine. Upon inspection the following day we had some things that needed to be done to pass the Maine inspection so Chris (manager of BMW Stratham)told us to bring it back and it was all taken care of at not cost to us! We are very happy with the suv! The service was outstanding!
The complete lack of preparation from Pawel when I brought my vehicle for TPMs sensor installation was only bested by a gross attitude of condescension that he met me with when confronted over his easily avoidable blunder.
The entire team at BMW Stratham was amazing to do business with. This dealer is friendly, straightforward and knowledgeable. I frequently purchase vehicles and this transaction was transparent and easy. I highly recommend this dealer.
I had an unfortunate incident with my new BMW when I moved to New England. Adam was fantastic to work with and I am super excited that this will be my new BMW dealership.
John C & Gary were very friendly and such quick service! I highly recommend!
Good service. Very friendly staff. Work was completed in a timely manner.
Timely service and great communication from Pawel. Appreciated the wash too!
Binit in service helped me out when my car broke down going to Maine. He was quick with all his responses and made sure to keep me up to date with my car. I’d recommend him for anything service related.
A great dealership with honest service advisors. Timely service and a nice waiting area to work while waiting for service
Fantastic experience from the time I checked in to the time I drove away!
Always straight and easy!
Binit was amazing. I was helped immediately, escorted to the waiting area and my car was ready in half the time projected. I’ve been to other BMW dealerships in the area over the past year and I’ll definitely be using Stratham in the future! Congrats on a great hire!
Great service and so friendly! Covered everything I needed to get done very quickly! A great dealership
The Service Department at Stratham BMW is amazing- always consistent, helpful and they take excellent care of my car. Adam is my go to Service Advisor and he is the best!!

I am very satisfied with service. Matthew Vafeas is excellent which is one of the main reasons I continue to do my service with you. My bill today was $3,200.00
Amanda was great. The genius was also wonderful. The finance person was also very good. The dealer is a 10 out of 10 with no drawbacks.
Very professional staff. Great use of technology to keep the customers informed in real time. Clean and comfortable facility.
Super fast inspection! Very professional! Top marks!
I always get great service when I visit this dealership. Very professional and caring, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

THANK YOU MATT!! You are fabulous and make the experience painless You listen, you explain everything and always have the customers needs in mind! Thank you and the service team for being efficient helpful and getting the work done in a timely manner!!
As always, Gary at Ira’s was very helpful and professional.
Sovy and Kevin were absolutely amazing they made my car buying experience the best it’s ever been. They’re will be no other dealer I’ll go to. Honest and trustworthy.
Had a great experience at IRA USED CARS in Exeter. They detailed my 2020 Chevy Colorada andbdidba great job. The truck looks brand new inside and out. In addition to the great work done, I was able to get an appointment right away. The cost was on par or lower than other services in the area. In closing it was a great experience all the way around.
Over the years, I’ve bought many cars and let’s face it, the process sucks! Each time though, I feel like I got better at it, even still.
I went to this dealership about a month ago, just to see what my options were. I met Scot who was very patient while I asked my questions, even though it was clear I wasn’t buying that day.
When all this tariff nonsense started, I got nervous so I got out of my Audi lease early. Scot made the process as painless as possible. I feel like Scott along with ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Apr 17, 2025

When all this tariff nonsense started, I got nervous so I got out of my Audi lease early. Scot made the process as painless as possible. I feel like Scott along with Prerak went above and beyond.
I love my car (still learning all the features, it’s been less than a week) and I will be back! I leased again and will be ready in about, oh, 39mo 😊
Laura was very patient, professional, and knowledgeable. She made the car buying process quick and easy. I spent a considerable amount of time looking at vehicles and she was understanding and never pushy. Managers, give her a raise!
Binit was a pleasure to work with. They diagnosed my vehicle problem. They were upfront and honest about repairs. I would recommend them if you are having issues.
Clean, with pleasant and courteous staff. The experience was overall positive. I would come back.
Excellent service! Pawul always does as great job. Communication was great and car was clean, thank you!
