Newbe ..... Just picked up an 2007 SI roadster

[mattgecko]

Hello fellow Z4 lovers.

Just bought my first Z4 SI model a few days ago and I am i love with this little car.

I am a car junkie and enjoy to tastefully modify my vesicles. My other vehicle is a 2011 super charged Tacoma 4x4.

Looking forward to learning more about my (new to me) roadster.
Matt

Thanks for the welcome guys. I don't have any pics yet, sorry.

My Z4 is black, black top and black leather. It has silver style 108 wheels, soon to be powder coated black.

Hi Matt,

Welcome along from another newbie !

 

[mattgecko]

Thanks!




I test drove an 07 M coupe and found I my knees against the dash. In the roadster (non M) I have a few inches to spare and its doable.

Do the coupes have less leg room or are the M seats bigger / thicker?

I'm 6'6" in case your wondering.

 

[Smartbear]

Has your car got the m seats? If it has got them the legroom should be the same.
Regards

I have the regular non-M seats, the M seats were in the coupe that I test drove.

Hi Matt, welcome to the Forum.

Could be you have an SE version with non sport seats and this may give you the extra leg room.

Does it have manual seats - if so maybe the lack of electric motors gives you extra room - whatever we might be able to see from your photos and I'm glad you managed to fit

 

[mattgecko]

Both my SI seat and the M-seat in the coupe are leather and full electric.

I ran my vin through the vin checker website and discovered I have M-series suspension on my Z.

Is that normal for the SI model or was it custom ordered from the dealer?

 

[Marlon]

Is your car an SI 'Sport' if so that will have the M-sports suspension

 

[synthedup]

I thought SI models had M seats as standard ?

 

[Wyldie85]

Which seats are most like yours?



OR

 

[Marlon]

I thought SI models had M seats as standard ?

nope, I have an SI but no sports seats

Never knew that

SI comes in both Sport and SE guise. The SI bit is to do with the engine.
