Hi
I have been fancying a 2015 Z4 2Ltr but don't know much about this model and before I start showing an interest I would prefer to know a bit about what to look for like good/bad points?
Is the 2Ltr a straight six or a four pot turbo version? Whats the opinions about the performance out of these smaller cc.
Any info would be appreciated.

It will be a 4 pot turbo, I have the 28 version, which is very power wise comparable to my old 3.0, I believe the 2ltr turbo without mods is power wise, equivalent to the old 2.5, I haven't got the BHP figures to hand, im sure someone will soon tho, but the standard 2l turbo can be chipped to achieve quite a power gain, Smartbear is your man to answer that one

I just had a reply to a message I sent the owner asking the same question and he says its a 6 cylinder, Weird that because I thought they was 4 cylinder turbo.

Its listed as a 2015 Z4 2Ltr S Drive M Sport.
All the evidence Marlon posted says the owner is wrong!

Sounds like the owner doesn't know what's under the hood of his own car

I think you right Marlon I messaged the owner again and he gave me his mobile number, when I questioned him he said, " Yes it has six. 1st 2nd 3rd" I stopped him there and said yeh I know its got six gears but how many spark plugs does it have?

Ha Ha
I'm waiting now he's ringing BMW to ask.

OK I just had the owner ring me and he has confirmed with the garage he bought it from that it does have 4 Cylinders!

Think I will ring him back now and knock him down in price cos its got two missing cylinders

You could ask him how many wheels it’s got & really confuse him

Or if it has an offside or a nearside. Or a flux capacitor...

30% discount at least for having two cylinders less than advertised

The seller obviously isn't going to be a forum member then!

There was never a 2 litre Z4 with 6 cylinders - the nearest was the E85 2.2i!

Good luck OP.
