Not the end of the world, but worth noting for oil capacities etc.
Good advice, but if it is 1,995cc it won't be a 6 cylinder surely?

Probably best for the OP to do a VIN check so he knows exactly what he has first.
Coupes because stunning!

No probs with it being 2005, the changes from year to year weren't that big, plus yours I'd early 2006 registration so was probably built late 2005 anyway.
Run the VIN number through a decoder website if you want more info on your car
Did you not even take the time to click on the link the guy posted? Next time actually read someone's post before immediately posting a reply. It saves everyone a lot of time.
OP here's your manual. The owner's manual will be the same for both models of the 2006 roadster. I am sorry you had to deal with the incompetent members of this forum. They often have trouble answering questions.

Leaving aside your appalling rudeness, why have you suggested the OP downloads a 3.0i manual for his 2 litre Z4?

The 2.0 replaced the 2.2,as the entry level engine,and as far as I can remember,the 2.0 didn't change that much from its first appearance in s z4,to its last.
A search for E85 Roadster manual should hopefully give some results, eventually.

As said,if it lists an E86 2.0 Z4,then it's a typo.....as the E86 is the Coupes,and only come in 3.0 and M variants.

Hope this helps,and you find what you are looking for op :thumbsup:

OP - auto.manualsonline might be worth a look. They appear to have some spec doccies. Plus eBay are quoting under £45 for an Owners Manual covering your model/year. Manuals.co might help (free). Might be worth having a look at ZRoadster.org, they are another friendly forum that may be able to help. GLWTS (Search).

I hadn’t seen what engine size the OP had, just went off the pic in the avatar showing a facelift Z4.
