Z4 UK sales/production numbers? Just curious...

[tonyz4c]

god knows where he got all the info

more details on this thread https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69174&start=60

in summary : determine all vin numbers using an ETK website
then query a vin decoder website and parse results
the only algo that is not really accurate is how to determine in which original country
the car was sold :wink:

You make it all seem so simple Tony .. congratulations on an epic piece of work

Just replying to you on this phone is about my limit !

I’m probably being a dope but I can’t see the paint code for stratus grey on there? Believe the code is 440 but it’s not on the drop down?

It is .. 170 stratus grey Si in the U.K. just checked

Thanks. Not showing up on my phone for some reason!

I thought the same thing at first (seeing as I have a Stratus Grey coupe I wanted to check numbers too) and you have to change the model up the top left of the page to the si model. Mine is one of 31 apparently (Stratus Grey, Oregon Schwarz, Brushed Aluminium, Manual RHD).

This is a genius piece of work Tony
I hadn't looked at the other link as the heading is The Coupe Database.

HowManyLeft is a good resource for stuff like this. Straight out of the DVLA database of UK registered cars, showing how many are taxed, SORN etc. so will also account for written-off cars, or those exported, and no longer in the market.

Well it's lucky that a forum member put together a database that will answer all your questions!
Link is here but you can't go straight to it, just copy and paste into your browser:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c

Should have read the whole thread. What a great link!

Nice, mine's one of six.

Happy searching.

Doesn't include my white 3.0SE ? Any other places to confirm?

 

[DorsetWurzel]

Cool mine is one of two, bottom VIN, not sure if I should sell it now, screw the needing extra seats!

 

[tomscott]

1 of 4 for me

 

[Zulu4]

Completely unique in the world for me
i.e. surprisingly there is no other 3.0si Auto, Roadster, Montego Blue, Champagne Leather, Piano Black.

 

[tomoz4white]

I am assuming this software is all based on facelift, not pre-facelift?

 

[Mr Tidy]

The database Tony compiled is only for 3.0Si and M models.

To be fair even that must have been a labour of love as it would have taken ages!

 

[Andrew J]

Does Tony's database still work? I can't get it to load on my phone.

 

[Mr Tidy]

Yes but he had to move it.

The only issue with this, and the data, is that it depends on how the model was named when registered by the dealer.

E.g. I drive a E86 3.0 Si Manual, so you would have thought it would be registered under "Z4 3.0 Si Coupe" which has 112 still licensed
But, on the V5 it is registered as a "Z4 Si Sport" which has 1668 left and no way to tell if those are E85 or E86 or even if it was a 2.5 or 3.0

 

[Mr Tidy]

That's always been the problem with that source.

How Many Left (E86) - final answer!

To answer the perennial question of “How many coupes left in the UK” I have crunched the DVLAs data and come up with an answer. Now the DVLA’s data is flawed because the coupe date exists under a number of categories, not just “Z4 3.0SI COUPE” and “Z4 3.0SI COUPE AUTO” which is what generally...
