Z4 UK sales/production numbers? Just curious...

Post by adu » Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:19 pm

Been browsing AutoTrader recently and I'm quite surprised how many Z4Ms there are for sale atm, compared to manual Z4 3.0si's. Having watched quite a few Doug DeMuro YouTube vids recently, he explains the relative rarity of particular models based on sales figures, so I was wondering if anyone knows how many of the below models were sold/produced for the UK?
- e85 3.0si manual
- e86 3.0si manual
- z4m roadster
- z4m coupe
Somebody on here will know I'm sure ;-)
Cheers
Z4 3.0si Sport Roadster. Manual. M Sport heated seats. M Sport wheel. 45k miles (and counting!). Black on black. 19" CSL alloys in space grey. Stubby. ZHP knob. Genuine clear 3rd brake light and z4m carbon leather trim. PDC. Cup holders.

Happy searching. :thumbsup:

Were all the 3.0 E85 models Si? Were there different spec levels of the 3.0. such as i, se, si etc? BMW usually have all sorts of spec levels. Or was there simply not enough production to run different specs.

Hi, the 3.0si was only introduced in the facelift cars from 2006, available in se or sport spec it used a different engine (n52) to the earlier 3.0i cars which used the m54 engine :thumbsup:

Yep, you've got a real rarity there! :thumbsup:

If you add in interior colour and dash trim it may prove to be rarer still!

Yes, I've passed many a happy hour playing about with it. :roll:

With lovely Syrah Blue seats yours must be a rarity.

Great site, I have just discovered that my Z4 is one of one. Rarer than a Sinclair C5. :D

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

Mine is common - it's 1 of 4. :roll:

Anyway I bookmarked a thread where it appeared, as I thought it might prove useful for new members.
