G29 Market watch

[z4pilot]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and definitely subjective, but for me once the newness and novelty had worn off after the first month of ownership, I just don't think it would pass the car park test.... For me there's something wrong with the proportions and the relationship of the wheelbase to the overall length. I get the same impression when I see a first gen Audi Q3 - right idea, wrong execution. When the zed line is done and dusted, the best, styling wise will be the Z8. This variation on the Z4 will probably be towards the back of the queue.

Yep, have to agree there. At £35k I think it becomes a cracking buy if used as a daily, a new car with the bulk of 3 years warranty makes it a nice proposition for those only needing 2 seats. It'll probably still return £20k in 3 years time come....so only costing £400 or so a month over the term isn't that bad considering.

For comparison for those buying at £55k will have seen it cost £975 a month over the same term.

I agree - it’s potentially cost me £700/750 per month during my 38 months of ownership! (35is Sept 2016)

Saw my first one yesterday in the pouring rain on the M74.
Black on an 08 plate, only thing I liked was the tail lights, I preferred the old Z4 badge as opposed to the new one as well.

I do laugh at some of the comments on here about the G29. Having owned 2 e89s which I loved, I can honestly say that the G29 is light years ahead and is a sensational looking car only rivalled possibly by the Z4M coupe imho. I absolutely love my G29 and the comments I get about it from non forum people are always positive.

BMW didn’t build this car just for previous Z owners. It has a wider appeal.

Well said!

Crept down to £34k now for the M40i, and only delivery miles on this one

I knew they'd depreciate fairly heavily but not quite this much in only 8 months! I hope not too many people have paid full list price...

I look on Autotrader every week and keep an eye on these. Ive just seen the blue one this evening and if it only has 65 miles then that’s very cheap indeed. Even though it’s a bright colour combo, the spec is good.

I was looking at this one and it only has 65 miles on the clock, do you think it is such a low price due to the weird colour combination (i.e. blue with orange interior) - I actually quite like it but I do think its kind of an odd choice.... or possibly the location

Was there not someone on here ordered one in that colour scheme?
I seem to remember a comment something to do with Superman colours.

Could be. Or that it’s not a car they would usually sell in a dealership in Scotland. Perhaps not their target market. Mine had been at the dealers for 7 months as their demo and nobody test drove it. So I got it with 10.1 miles on it.

The interior is actually red. It just looks very bright and almost orange in the pictures. I’m not a fan of the ‘crayola’ blue in any case so it certainly wouldn’t be my choice. Cheap though, given what they are new...

[idej_z4]

I'm sorry, but to say it's a sensational looking car is a bit of a stretch.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be a sensational looking car?

Oof - where to start...the ///M Coupe Lancia Stratos...Lotus Exige...F40...DB5..Alfa 8C. Those are just off the top of my head, and totally subjective. I just don't think the new Zed falls into that category based on my own views and general opinion. Like I said, I've not heard anyone say that about the way it looks..in fact, more the opposite.

[gwatson]

Incredible value really.... shame the road tax is nearly £500 a year due to its value (don't get me started on that). That really grated me with my Z4M as a second car.

Hello...and 1st post

I put a deposit down on that M40i.
Not sure about the colour combo as not seen in the flesh yet - but such a good price.
Booked to look/test tomorrow.
