Hi
I used my wifes 3.0 si auto coupe for a wk when she needed to use my 520 d touring as the grand kids were staying for the wk.
Travelled from Camberley to Heathrow daily and back and averaged 34 mpg with some traffic m25/m3 was actually quite surprised how good it was.
The 520 will only do do 44mpg on the same trip.
So fuel wise its a def possibility though not as comfy.

Oh just to say not as comfy but more fun.

Great news - now all we need are some photos!

Some pics of the car...






A little scrubbing, wheels and TLC. Otherwise all solid with full dealer history.

Been using my Z4C auto as a daily for a bit over 2 years its absolutely fantastic!
Welcome to the forum and to the Executive Coupe Club

I use mine as my daily driver for around 6 years now. No issues aside from maintenance. Although since the Civic shed was written off I have gotten hold of a Golf 2.0 Fsi, which is actually very good and for knocing about is marginally better on fuel and more comfortable.

Car looks great SPYII - especially the red interior.

And welcome to the exclusive Coupe club!

The Z4 Coupe is my only car so I have no choice
I use the car as a daily and don’t really suffer as a result as I normally do about 300-ish miles a month but I will do a quick trip to another town taking the dual carriageway to open her up a bit.
The only criticism I have is the conditions of the roads in the UK
We truly have 3rd works roads and they are getting worse by the year
To have a lovely car like the Z4 coupe only to then not experience/benefit much of it’s beauty/prowess because of the road conditions have left me somewhat bemused/bereaved

Hope the roads are better fir you in your area

So some updates in the e86 Z4...

Installed BMW Z4 M seats, Re-upholstered along with the door cards (plug and play... and shove)
Installed BMW M-Performance Stainless Steel pedal covers/rubber replacements
Installed a GROM CAR Bluetooth unit for mobile phone and media (https://gromaudio.com/)
Installed Webcam behind the Rearview Mirror... you never know when you might need one (Alibaba Special)
Installed Eibach Springs 30mm Front and 20mm Rear (E10-20-010-05-22)
Installed new Shock Absorbers (A set of Monroe's and well worth it... always happy to review later)
Installed Rear Lower Camber kit (For BMW E36/E46/E83/E85/E86/E89 Adjustable Rear Lower Camber Control Arms Kit) see here
Installed 19" CSL Reps (359M I think)
Installed Goodyear Eagle tyres (Front 235/35/19 and Rear 265/30/19)

Impressed with the suspension setup, even the wonky power steering feels a whole lot better.

A few photos since the update...

Slight touch on speed humps.... at speed. Noticed that the Front bumper liners are getting knackered somewhat by this. Will have to find a solution to limit spring travel... or make certain the fender liners are in fact aligned or installed correctly. Need to replace right hand horn/hooter anyway!

Very nice Spy; looks immense! Out of (selfish) interest, are you planning to sell the wheels you've taken off? They look like 202s - if you're planning to sell you'd have at least one interested party here!

Very nice!
Not too sure Spy is based here in the UK parabolica!

Looking much better with the new wheels and seats, Spy.

Car looks very well.
