Hopsta Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Anyone know what the lead time for ordering a Z4 is ? I know they are not out till sometime in June, just wondered if any dealers had one in that we could go play with. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonvb Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Graham, Leadtimes in the UK are at the moment 11-12 months . We have laid our hands on 20 Units for August/September supply. These cars will be comming through germany at the same spec level as with the main BMW agent in the UK. Should you have interst in a Z4 for faster delivery, then please contact me on [email protected]. I will be pleased to help you further. Kind regards, Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philth Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I put down a deposit last July. finally got called in to spec her up two weeks ago. I'm supposedly 2nd on the list for 3.0's with my dealer and I've been told the 2.5s will start shipping late June, 3.0s in September. Each dealer will get one of each (no choice of spec they say) for launch on 19 June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I just rang my local BMW dealer.. earliest now for a 3.0l is March 2004.. too late for me I'm afraid... and it impinges on RS4 release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Thanks for the input guys. I thought that the waiting list would be pretty long if ordering now, but never thought it would be 12 months !! I'll keep you posted Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Hi Johnathon I have a blue R32 on order but I have just been told by my dealer that there is a delay with leather so I won't get delivery until late October. I have seen pictures of the new BMW Z4, and it looks gorgeous. I spoke to a BMW dealer today and they said they could get my a 3.0 for Oct. How have you managed to get one so quick? Whats your spec? Do you think I should stick with the R32 or go for a Z4? I just love the sound of the R32, can the Z4 compete with the sound? The Z4 is gorgeous and my girlfriend is trying to persuade me to cancel the R32 and buy a Z4. I would appreciate you opinions as you have an R32. Thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chins Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 The reason my Z4 is coming so soon is that its been on order 15months. It was originally an M3. When I decided to cancel the dealer wanted to keep my deposit (even though the car was still 2 months away -and he shifted the slot 1 week later ). Transfered the deposit to the Z4. Z4 or R32. Good question. Still dont know. The Z4 might be given a run due to the fact Ive never had one and it summer. For driving fun it would be interesting to compare. Like you I love the R32 engine note. I have a feeling that if I sell the R32, I'll have another one soon after Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopsta Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 If anyone hears of a cancelled order on a 2.5 then please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragdude Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hopsta, Check out http://www.zroadster.net/z4/messages/1072.html which is the website for UK Z4 owners. There's a guy on there called Paul who is looking to sell his 2.5 before it's delivered due to a change in his circumstances. It's due for delivery on 8th August and is Sterling grey with black leather. I've got a 3.0 on order which I'm due to collect on the 4th July. I've had it on order for over 12 months.

Hopsta Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Cheers Ragdude... i've left him a note on the board. Do you know the guy at all ?? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Not sure if its this one or not, as the link no longer works. Z4 2.5 ordered this morning, delivery at the end of July 2003 What options did you guys go for ? trim colours etc Is the zroaster forum anygood ? or is there a more appropriate one ?

Ragdude Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hopsta, Zroadster forum is the best UK site I have found thus far. If you look through it you will find the colours & spec's that people have chosen. My car is a 3.0 in Sterling grey with dream red leather, heated seats, 6 disc CD, BMW professional hi-fi speaker ugrade, storage pack, 18" ellipsoid alloys, and grad tinted screen. I don't know Paul other than a couple of threads we've exchanged. Availability is a bit hit and miss and is very dependant upon where each dealer is located. Big city outlets are quoting next year but some of the more rural dealers it seems still have unsold allocation available. That will almost certainly disappear by June 19th which is the official launch date. When I showed my dad the Z4 brochure he decided on the spot that he wanted one so has placed an order for a 2.5 in Titanium silver with dark grey roof and red leather. At 71 he may just be the oldest Z4 owner! Have you looked at the US site - http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/e85/ Its got a lot of useful info on it as the Yanks have been able to buy the car since November last year. Good luck with your order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted May 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Rag, Cheers for that, had a look at the zroadster and the US forum yesterday... not very nice to use. Just have to educate them to ts.net Sadly it's not my car, but a friend of mine so they'll be speccing the car in the next weed or so.. will let you know what they decide to go with.
