"006 and 2007 Coupe difference

[BarryB]

Hi All I am new on here and about to buy a Z4 3.0 SI coupe, could anyone tell me is there any difference in the 2006 model and the 2007 car, any changes or modifications that BMW did to standard cars.

Nope , they all have the same dodgy foglights , wing mirror glass that fall's out & shoddy rear springs
Plus they all come with the rear hatch lid birdbath feature if the car is stood after any rain :wink:

Hmmm..'06 builds have a grey engine cover, '07+ have a black one.

There's no material differences - they both have roofs!

Not at all mate , i loved mine & wouldn't rule out having one again if one floated under my nose
Whether roady or coupe the search criteria should be the same & the known issues are the same .
Some have experienced minor rust on the rear hatch area with coupes although not connected to the water that sits above the rear boot BMW emblem
Great cars whichever Z but the coupe will always have "the look" & rarity due to being around in far less numbers .
They cover the miles very well if maintained well so if budget is tight don't be put off a higher miler unless you plan to add a lot to it ?
Best of luck

are you sure about that?

possibly a 2006 may not have aux input and a 2007 may, but then i could be wrong but worth checking

Only from what I saw when I was looking to buy mine (September 2006 build, silver rocker cover).

They're all lovely issues that keep you on your toes.

Take it in your stride and good luck with the hunt for your coupe!

I absolutely love mine.

:wub:

The 07 onw would have AUX and isofix as standard. While pre 07 would be a cost option.
