Oldest Z4 on the Forum

So curiosity gets the better of me and I wonder who has the oldest Z4 around here.

For starters mine rolled off the line in May '03 (chassis ends in 312) making her a 9 year old gal.
 
Confirmed Phil is old, I was at hand to witness this today

My 3.0se is a september 2003 with 45,000 glorious miles on the clock

2nd oldest.... So far

That's an interesting number you have there Citation, is there any way I could see what my number is?

My rolled out of the factory in August 2003 according to the VIN-reading tool at Realoem.com, but it didn't hit the streets until mid 2005 for some reason.
 
2002 seems an age ago! :-) When did the first Z4 actually get sold in the UK? In 2002 i don't remember seeing any i think the first time I saw one was mid 2003, did they hit the US first (based on the fact they were built there?)
 
reversing this thread, i think mine must be 1 of the newest, production date was is august 2008, first registered march 2009
 
I'm sure there was a member who had a 52 plate zed :?

Could be wrong though

First registered March 2003 - current mileage 29753 - everything still looks new even in the engine bay .
 
May 03 here as well. I wouldn't have known this were it not for the fact that I noticed the plate informing me of this while diving head first into the engine bay while looking for a dropped clip from one of the cables.

I also found a disconnected plug in the bottom of the engine that I need to photograph to see if anyone can identify.

My first Z4 which I don't have anymore was a December 2002 build.... :driving:

Doesn't count - have to own it. (I had a 1963 Mini, bit don't anymore :))

Anyway - Interesting. Seems to be a cluster of March to May '03, with the exception of Citation's that's 6 months older. Is that an imprt or a UK origin car?

Looks like the oldest are somewhat obviously US, given they were built there.

Yep, it's Aebous (I think) but his is a US import.

Yep it's me. It is a 52 plate but IIRC correctly my door data plate says the year of manufacture was Jan 2003. I'll have a look tomorrow & edit here if I'm wrong.

52 plate would cover up to end of Feb 2003 so it sounds right. Think you must have the oldest in the UK :thumbsup:
