arl10 · Post by **arl10** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 7:05 pm

Just picked a Z4 up yesterday & wondered how many were made ?
Any one know the production figures ?
Is it a rare model due to most going for the 2.3i or 35 ?

Only being in production for 2 years would have kept the numbers down, I think it was only made from 09-10?

Correct Mr Bear. The good old days when Zeds made the right noise before the 4 pots took over

Hi great thanks it is an 09 with 42k , full BMW history , 4 previous owners , came with Main dealer service , 12 months warranty , 12 months mot , new pads allround and 2 new rear tyres . Sounds amazing , goes like stink !
The car has , upgraded speakers , sports heated leather , folding mirrors , 18" style 294 , Bluetooth, cruise , front and rear parking sensors , auto lights Zenons , just short of satnav although most think it wasn't any good , plus it is a manual .
I have had BMW s for the last 30 years , still have another 2 in the family E53 X5 and 220d xdrive gran tourer it is like having their love child on the front , just one thing I am unsure on and that is a bit of wine I think from the diff when car is not pulling is it normal as I know you are sitting over the rear wheels more or less ?
Does any one know how many of the 2.3 and 35 were made to give me a comparison?
Regards
Arl10

If you have the ski-loading options then it's possible you have the only one ever produced for the RHD market. Collectors item.

You should make a thread asking is anyone else knows of another example

I have a 2010 30i MSport 6 spd manual in Melbourne Red, which has the upgraded audio, Nav, cruise control, ski hatch between the Sports heated seats, upgraded light pack, 19" alloys. Compared to other cars I've owned, it's not the quickest, or perfect by any stretch, but there is still something about it that makes me think it'll be a keeper for a long time. So I've just changed the engine oil, gearbox oil and brake & clutch fluid, also deleted the CDV, which has made the whole clutch vagueness so much better.

Other mods are 120 watt Afterpartz LED angel eyes, gloss black kidney grills, LCI LED side indicators, and a good polish.

Also ditched the runflats for Kumhos - night and day better. Aersol in the back if things go flat!

Next on the list is a Varta AGM battery replacement and Sat Nav map and iDrive updates, by someone who is very local to me that is abit of a programming god on the E90 forums.

The car looks and drives like new - loving it!

What does the ligh package give ?
Mine has that but as I have not seen the car yet I have no idea what it means
Or the high beam assist or loads of other extras.
Coming from an S2000 I'm not used to having gadgets
