I went and had a look at the Stansted dealership. To be fair, on very first glance it looks very striking, it's an interesting looking car with creases in places that aren't normal on a BMW. I've definitely changed my view on it, it's much better in the metal....but does feel like a car designed for the US market, it looks very wide for the UK roads. I really like the interior (apart from weird trim design), you sit low in the car, the boot is a very good size (two medium sized suit cases), wheels look a tad small in the arches, 20's would work, the exhaust design is a better take on the fake exhaust than most new cars, diffuser is lovely, paintwork is very nice, seats are nowhere near as good as the M4's.

It feels like I'm back in 2003 again with the E85 and 986....today the Porsche 718 is positively dull in a straight looks comparison, very simple, subtle and forgettable. The Z4 I looked at was a £55k car and I think it feels like reasonable value for a new car, but buy that today and you've got to think you'll lose £20k within 12 months in my view. Some folk won't be bothered by that, I can't afford not to.

The missus likes it a lot, but she quickly went from that to the M4 Comp and then the M4 CS.....which is only another £5k extra. You'd have to be bonkers mad to buy the Z4 at £55k when you could get a M4 CS for just that bit extra, the carbon bonnet is a lovely thing!

Yep, Elms Stansted have a 200 mile white M4 CS for £63k and the chap said they'll take a bit more off that if I want it...it's lovely, beautiful car.

It was a show demo car at the airport, no one used it but was sat in the private terminal to showcase BMW.

Just checked Autotrader and there are 20 cars around the £60k mark if you really want one. Given it was a £90k car new it feels like a good buy and 'shouldn't' lose that much more over the next 2 years.

You are talking about used one ....

But still,

Who wouldnt have a 200 mile M4 CS over and above a Z4..

Is not a convertible , it´s used.

Angelus666 · Post by **Angelus666** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:22 pm

It's hardly a used car is it....those folk who paid the full £90k+ for these new must be feeling it now...ouch

So, for the people who are ordering the Z4, did you consider the 'lightly used' M4 CS before placing your orders?

It’s not a drop top...!! Some, including me, only want a convertible.

Unless you're very rich and don't care, most people buying a BMW work to a budget and get the best bang for their buck....and buying a £55k Z4 feels like a bad choice if you can get a M4 CS for a little more. The Z4 will be a £35k car within 12 months....if you're lucky.
