New Z4 on order :o)

TitanTim · Post by **TitanTim** » Sun 12 Feb, 2012 20:39

Hi all,

Well finally took the plunge today and ordered a new Z4 2.0 M Sport so will be trading the 1 Series in, will be so sorry too see it go. The deal BMW are doing at the moment is very good and has worked out cheaper than a new 1 Series 1.6 M Sport I had specced up. They hadn't got a demo 2.0 in stock but drove the 2.3 and is a lovely car.

Hopefully delivery will be end of March

Anyways should hopefully look like this

Tim.

I thought you wanted a low mileage M Tim?

swamper · Post by **swamper** » Sun 12 Feb, 2012 21:33

I did Liam, but the deal BMW are doing of the 2.0 M sport is pretty good, i.e. M Sport upgrade is free and the dealer has contributed just over 7K towards deposit and fixed me a monthly payment of £299 per month 4.9% APR. I got a decent trade in on the 1er so happy with the deal.

Niiiccee Tim! I have to say the new z4's are very smart! Who knows if an M model comes out I may end up in one in the future.. get some pics up when it arrives!

Cheers Shanty, I'm unsure they will bring an M version out, but all the 6 cyl engines as far as I know are being phased out in favour of the new 2.0 four pots but I'm guessing in different states of tune too meet emission requirements. I think mine will be 181bhp then I think the 2.3 will stay badged as that but will be higher tuned version of 2.0 and so on. I think all models come with a sound generator

apparently, I think too give a straight six sound

Looks good Tim but I'd check which side the steering wheel is on before you hand over the cash

Well done Tim, I bet you cannot wait!!!

A lovely looking car and colour combo, I have seen a few in the flesh and they are handsome cars.

Nice one TT...

Everyone loves the new Z4. Cracking looking piece of kit.

Of course, the colour ain't my choice, but we can't have you changing your name, can we??

Congrats...

so do you need two garages now for winter storage..?

Looks very nice, Tim
But which will you take to silverstone........ decisions, decisions..
Congratulations on the new motor...
What is the spec?

Very nice TT, the car is a real head turner, sat in one recently, very impressed.

Thanks for your wishes everyone

can't wait for the end of March

Spec is Titanium Silver, Coral red interior, Carbon aluminium trim. Alot of the kit is standard in M Sport spec, xenons, leather etc.

Only options I went for were heated seats and folding mirrors, I stayed away from ticking too many things as wanted to keep payments below £300 a month.

Only thing I wished I had added was front and rear parking sensors but its £600

Have them on the 1 series and theyre more useful than you think. I guess it will be touch parking from now on

Dealer wants my 1er next week otherwise it would have been £600 off the trade in price if I had kept it until the Zed arrives so will mean getting the 3 out of hibernation

Can i ask about your choice of engine, i assume it is the 4 pot turbo, that replaces the 6 pot 2.3?

Cheers Zedonist, the engine model I've ordered is the new 2.0l turbo 4 cyl 181bhp and badged a 2.0l. The 2.3l will have the same engine and badged 2.3 but will kick out around 218bhp I think

Cheers,

Tim.

Cheers Swamper, just have too decide whether to part with the Z3 now

Tim.

swamper · Post by **swamper** » Mon 13 Feb, 2012 22:55

same as me with the M....and the 3s still here....i'd never get even remotely back what i'd spent...so it stays for the time being (and its just sprung a leak

)
good luck with the car mate cant wait for the pics

Nice one TT, the new Z4 is a great looking car

Nice colour too

g8jka · Post by **g8jka** » Tue 14 Feb, 2012 08:48

Very nice Tim!

Obviously the best colour athough didn't you fancy one in Atacama yellow though? Saw one at Knights in Stoke the other day was quite nice actually. The mineral white is a lovely colour too.

The yellow does look fab but I'm thinking it might be an insect magnet in the summer

Your perfectly correct Ray, plan was too swap to an M this summer but the Z4 is a bit more than what I would normally shell out on a motor but the current dealer contribution of 7k was hard to resist

I saw a white one it looked fantastic

I would not have chosen a white one until i saw it in the flesh

seasurfer · Post by **seasurfer** » Tue 14 Feb, 2012 20:25

Congrats from me too, how many more sleeps do you have ?

I went out in my friends new 4 a couple of weeks ago, a fantastic car and so stylish too, that was silver with red inside, not my preferable first choice of colour as you know, but i certainly wouldnt say no to it, much nicer in the flesh.

Thanks alot Gill, delivery is down as the end of March which I thought was a bit early for BMW but earlier the better

I really wasn't sure what colour to go for, nearly went with pearl white but played safe with silver in the end

will be keeping it for 4 years and wandered if I would tire of white after a while. The dealer demo was the grey which looked spot on. Will be interested to see how the 4cyl turbo compares to the 2.3 6cyl I test drove.
