TriGGa Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 comes to :- £39,418.84 using xe.com, personally i think thats a bargain price for an "M" BMW. But for a car of that size it may be a bit too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil330 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Wow! This looks really nice, not read the article yet, but just about too! Had a Z4 3.OLtr on rental not so long ago, and loved it, but didnt look special enough to me, this seems the ultimate combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think it looks too similar to the normal 3.0ltr. The wheels are nothing special, i think BM could have done better for an M car. For less you could get a new M3 and that would handle better (thought the Z4 was a little twitchy...) The engine is a peach though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 What annoys me is the Z4 M Coupe is £41k over here and $49k in the states which is only £28k. Now I can understand a slight difference but that is ridiculous. I know European delivery is big in the states, could you get a US dealer to order the car and take payment and collect from Germany, then just pay german tax at 16%??

Woppum Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 This wont account for the big difference in price but the American cars are usually a different set up to uk ones. Suspension like jelly and all that. It may not be worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That sort of pricing disparity between here and US applies to most brands I'm afraid. Bottom line is that most manufacturers like BMW/Porsche/MB etc go to the US market for volume...UK, then EU, for profits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the quad exhausts it just looks like a normal 'cooking' Z4 - i.e. still a lovely car but doesn't really look overtly sprty or muscular for my liking (considering what's under the bonnet). I'm worried that the Z4 M Coupe might look a little tame in the flesh also.........here's hoping not!! JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John32 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Saw one in the flesh today at the dealers and I have to say I like it, but then I like subtle. However the Phonix Yellow (2.5si) Coopers in Banstead have in the showroom is Now to arrange to drive one Gareth - have you had any feedback on how they are selling?

Phil330 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Drove one today! Very impressed, immensly quick!! Love the little detailing like the M Coloured stitching on the steering wheel. Think i've made my mind up, Interlagos Blue and the Light Sepang Bronze leather, looks great IMO! Anyone want a 330ci? Top Marques here it comes!

Jez Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I drove an interlagos blue with black leather a couple of weeks ago, a great colour and that steering wheel is the best I've every felt. I ordered a boxster in the end but the M was a great car and it was very tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
