As I've admitted on my "Hello" thread I'm new to this BMW numbering/ letters system. I'm trying to download the correct Owners Manual and email it to the printers rather than bending over and let someone shaft me for £80 on Ebay!

So on the V5C/2 form it says...................

BMW
Z4 SPORT

Date of registration 27 03 2006

PETROL

1995 CC

So what E number is it? LOL

TIA

So which one should I be downloading? Under 2006 there is no mention of E85????? Or am I just being a complete numpty?
 
Use the 2005 roadster one. The header says E86 but this is a typo as the roadster is E85.
No probs with it being 2005, the changes from year to year weren't that big, plus yours I'd early 2006 registration so was probably built late 2005 anyway.
Run the VIN number through a decoder website if you want more info on your car.

Did you not even take the time to click on the link the guy posted? Next time actually read someone's post before immediately posting a reply. It saves everyone a lot of time.
OP here's your manual. The owner's manual will be the same for both models of the 2006 roadster. I am sorry you had to deal with the incompetent members of this forum. They often have trouble answering questions.

The OP has a2006 model year facelift car. So if 6cyl will be the N52 engine, not the M54 in the 2005 manual.

Not the end of the world, but worth noting for oil capacities etc.
 
NickDE was trying to help and point the OP in the right direction. Z4rumbles if you don't like it here feel free to delete your account and find another forum.
 
Try this one. http://bimmer.work/. I am in North America but all Z4’s were built here so it should work. Last 7 digits of VIN and click the not a robot button , then submit. Basic info.....

Thanks guys for the support. I'm feeling low after an operation and appreciate the Z4 love !

Anyway, it looks like no-one has found a 2 litre manual, so the best we can do is point the OP to the nearest one, which will be relevant for most stuff on using the car to it's best in normal daily use. I still think it is better to go one year earlier rather than a manual that is later than the car - on the basis that BMW make big changes during model year switchovers (usually during the annual plant maintenance shutdown). Views ?

Good advice, but if it is 1,995cc it won't be a 6 cylinder surely?

Probably best for the OP to do a VIN check so he knows exactly what he has first.

Leaving aside your appalling rudeness, why have you suggested the OP downloads a 3.0i manual for his 2 litre Z4?
 
The 2.0 replaced the 2.2,as the entry level engine,and as far as I can remember,the 2.0 didn't change that much from its first appearance in s z4,to its last.
A search for E85 Roadster manual should hopefully give some results, eventually.

As said,if it lists an E86 2.0 Z4,then it's a typo.....as the E86 is the Coupes,and only come in 3.0 and M variants.

Hope this helps,and you find what you are looking for op :thumbsup:
 
OP - auto.manualsonline might be worth a look. They appear to have some spec doccies. Plus eBay are quoting under £45 for an Owners Manual covering your model/year. Manuals.co might help (free). Might be worth having a look at ZRoadster.org, they are another friendly forum that may be able to help. GLWTS (Search).
