Can't complain about anything much , could do with battery in engine area as you've said , there'd be more room in boot for wife's stuff then !!

What's the wife got to do with anything ? :lol:

No problems at all then :thumbsup:



Good point !!

You should be shot for daring critisise the Z4M for such trivial things :x

THis a proper sports car with rattles and squeeks that costs 20k well worth above that. It has its faults.

Man up or buy a Audi and a pair of slippers :roll:


Totally agree , I am going to shoot myself now for grumbling about nou't , love this mc !!!!!
 
Seats are good,imo,and the stereo is decent,if u have the carver/logic7 spec(tho could be better),and the Battery is in boot for weight distribution. as Herminator said,it would be easier for them to put it in engine bay and plenty room in all models to do so.

Car was 43k plus options when new,so yes,for that £ it should really have Full extended leather,and NOT the poor rubery-feeling trims on doors and the plastic around sunvisor that it has...my 3.0 had the Full extended leather option,and was much better for it.

That aside,and the time it takes to warm up/lumpiness when cold/the cars are excellent machines,and even at 40-plus k,let alone the sub 20k u can get a very good one for now ,i don't think theres alot that can touch them for the £,bar a Boxster s/Cayman s...but even they have their "faults",lol :D

I'm slightly dubious about the weight distribution claim, I suspect that is a convenient excuse and it was mainly just the easiest place to put it.

After all what does a battery weigh compared to a driver and passenger?
The battery in the Z4M weighs 20.5kg (45lbs). Moving it from its current position to just in front of the firewall, under the bonnet will change the weight distribution by just over 2% (i.e. 50.2/49.8% in the Coupe goes to 51.4/48.6%). As the driver and passenger sit just behind the centre of gravity (about 0.2m / 8"), the effect of their weight is significantly less in changing the weight distribution, an 80kg passenger changing the weight distribution from 50.2/49.8% to 49.8/50.2%.

It may not have been because it was the 'easiest', but it was definitely the most cost-effective solution - as the E85 was designed with the battery well in the boot and they stole that space when they added the additional exhausts, if they'd moved the battery out of the boot area they would have required a completely different wiring loom which would have increased costs disproportionately as it would have been a very low volume item.
 
There is a solution for the battery here http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6416

Looks like a good space saver

re the fueling , even if it doesnt do the clicking off thing :rofl: :roll: and you get it 100 percent full, i still find that the fuel is somehow linked to the black pedal on the right and also the little analogue gauge on the dash,.... if i press the pedal thingy down very far the little hand in the guage thingy seems to move rather quickly downward ,.... and ideas ?
