Which Z4 to buy?

Hi all,

I'm currently driving a 325i M-Sport with a few extras but it's just hit its 3 year anniversary & I'm thinking of changing it.

Various home circumstances mean I don't need a 4 seater any more so I've been seriously looking at Z4's.

I have a very friendly dealer (who also happens to be a relative which is very useful!) and have been talking things through with him.

Current options are:

10 month old 23i with about 6K on the clock - 19" wheels, heated sports seats

Brand new 20i M-Sport

Brand new 28i

The best pricing deal looks like the new 20i M-Sport but I'd prefer the more powerful engine & forego the harder ride of the 20i M-Sport. However, because of current offers, the 28i may be way more expensive to actually buy (even though 'list' price is only about £1K more than a 20i M-Sport).

The additional option that popped up yesterday was the 2011 23i - it's in exactly the exterior/interior colour spec I was after and I've always been bought up on BMW six cylinder engines. Currently it's listing for the same price as the new 20i M-Sport but I'm confident it will come down a fair bit - maybe 10% - 15%).

So - my question is, which of these three would you buy and why?

Any thoughts and advice gratefully received :)
 
I'd go for the 23i if it's the spec you want, and you have a 6 cylinder engine too.

The 2.0 and 2.8 only came in to satisfy the global apparent need for small engines...but it's all tosh. If you can buy a 6 cylinder, and getting at a price you like, then why not!!
 
2.3i if it's got everything you want and that beautiful soundtrack;just get it at the right price.The distress selling of the 2.0i has devalued residuals,good luck whichever you choose.

I've seen the amazing BMW dealer offers on the 20i - you can get over £8K off list as a 'dealer deposit'.

Has there been an issue with sales on the 20i that's lead BMW to offer such good prices on these?


Thanks to everyone else for thoughts and advice :)
