How dose this effect You ? out of interest
I find myself with a big Problem, if this goes ahead I will have to Sell my beloved Z, always keeping it chip free from stones, about to get the wheels powder coated and breaks,
is it worth it,
It will be £12.50 a day for me to use the Z any day I wish to use it,

in fact the same with my other car 62 Plate Zafira had from New only 37k on this has been a great work horse, again I will have to sell due to the New ULEZ,
I feel so bitter that I will be forced into this corner, I understand the reason to help Environment etc etc, but feel do upset with this situation
keep you posted when the Z comes up for sale would love it to go to a forum Member,

Hi Kev,

Is your Z4 a Gen1? Forgive me if I am wrong, I think so from the small picture!
The answer is to get a face lift LCI or whatever they call it!
I've got a new (to me) 13 640d and my 07 Z4 is the only car we can currently take into town. So to dodge the fine when seeing a mate in Wood Green, I take the poor Z4 through about 40 mins of stop start very unfun driving. It's a bit of a faff I must say.

I 100% feel bitter with the force, I'm totally with you there.
I really think the ULEZ in general is a naff idea, not quite hitting the mark.
I'm all for using the train, but I've got Greater Abellio up here and it's so much £ for so little.

Could a LCI model take your fancy to fill the zed shaped hole in your life? IF you came to sell of course.

Unless you've got a diesel Z4 :!: or diesel zafira you have nothing to worry about with ULEZ. A z4 3L 03 car is euro 4 compliant which is fine for ulez.
I think you are getting confused with diesels, where <2013 are not allowed (more specifically anything below eur06 for diesel).

I wouldn’t have been able to drive my work van as I lived in Bexleyheath, no such problem now I live in North Yorkshire

 

[Mr Tidy]

As TomK says your car should be Euro 4 so compliant - my 2002 E46 Compact with a 2.5 litre M54 was. Even my MC is Euro 4!

It's only diesels that need to be Euro 6 IIRC.

hi Mr Tidy thanks for that, I did put my Registration on ULEZ web site and said for both cars I would have to pay the daily fee, but will recheck, just a wait and see at the moment

Ahhh, I think maybe you saw the charge for the congestion zone?
So putting in my Z4, I get the congestion charge, which is a much smaller zone
But putting in the 640d I get the congestion charge and the ULEZ charge. So I think you are all good!

So I think good news for now and you can plan the move to Northamptonshire properly without jumping up there immediately!

I plugged in my Honda Jazz 1.4 2006 into the DVLA ULEZ website and it told me I wasn't compliant. So I checked and felt it was wrong. So I called Honda and got hold of customer services, they said due to the Pandemic they were in Bulgaria! So they checked my reg, told me the vehicle was a 4, and then I had to send them a copy of my VIN and my proof of identity - driving license, and they emailed me back with an official letter from Honda confirming this as a form of certification. I checked again after speaking to Honda and saw that my car was now exempt and they appeared to have had communication between Honda and the DVLA to correct this wrong classification error. Another friend had the same and because I had taken action it seemed that the whole of the Honda Jazz classification was corrected for him and everyone else. So if you follow this advice with both BMW and Vauxhall you should find exactly the same route to correcting and bringing your car into a happy place of many more years of driving. The worst hit appear to be diesel vans and motor homes which have few miles but fall foul of the money-raking rules which seem to be Khan's answer to helping himself balance the books!!

Both mine are exempt from ULEZ (07 3.0Si and 03 2.5i), so yours should be fine.

North Yorkshire is indeed very beautiful on the few days a year it’s not howling a gale or lashing with rain.
