Road Tax cheaper for late Z4

Hi folks,
I've read that the late 09 registered Z4 Coupes have cheaper road tax??? Seems to good to be true.....but I'm sure this myth will be dispelled very shortly by someone on the forum. Thanks in advance, Tom

The only tax difference I know of was in 2006, where cars registered prior to March/April are cheaper than those registered later...to the tune of about 50% in the case of a Z4M.

No chance I am afraid. 2006 is the break year, anything after does not change for the same engine
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo
