Cost of your car when new-

Mine put it up on the computer screen when I bought mine as an AUC.
Liverpool
Parkers seem to still list the options prices for the E85/86 Z4. Not sure on the accuracy as it lists Nappa Leather as an option on the M and I'm sure it was standard? But it puts mine at £46k, bit more if leather was extra.
Why? Easily worked out, no mystery involved...what they paid for it would be more interesting

Sadly for me the ability to afford even the most basic spec Z4 new is beyond by wildest dreams.
However thanks to the bloke who bought the car new for £32,315.10 back in July 2004, i was able to pick the same car up 53 months later for £8,400. I work out thats £453 per month, every month for 4.5 years in depreciation alone! And looking at the history file, he didnt skimp on maintainance either.
I must say the enthusiasts who buy a Z4 brand new deserve big respect. I know if i had 40k to spend on a car i would chicken out and get a second hand 911 instead :zzzz:

i assumed they paid the invoice price??????
I still have the window sticker....49,560 dollars before taxes
+1, I'm very indebted to those folk who buy these sort of cars new - I'm not in a position where I want to spend that amount on any car, so without them I wouldn't have a Z4. Just remember and spec them up well for folk like us in futuretomTVR said:
Damn, that's a lot of depreciation. I've got the original invoice from the first owner at home. Seem to recall it being around £33k, I bought it at 52 months old for less than a third of that. Scary.
I paid about 40k (25,170GBP) for mine at 7 years old ( 03 model bought it 2010) 
I wish I could get UK prices
Here in aus after our lovely import taxes the price on the original invoice in my glovebox is $137,210aud (86,350GBP) with options
It seems the z4 is another price bracket above down here, sadly. The cheapest z4MR in the country is $70,000 (44,000GBP). http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=9549513&__Qpb=true&Cr=1&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294967079%204294729561%204294966860%204294932151&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=7&__sid=12BCB6039C11
If I was in the UK I would definitely be a z4 M roadster owner
