Hi all,

Apologies for such a noobie question (I'm new at looking at the Z4's but big fan - lovely car) but I can't seem to find the answer with google.

I have seen what seems to be two types of Z4 - one is longer and the other shorter. Is one the M or is it about the age? I think I remember reading about a face-lift post 2006?

Please someone put me out of my misery!
 
hello and welcome

there are 3 basic types

1/ the convertible
2/ the coupe
3/ the hard top convertible

1 and 2 are identical apart form the roof, 3 is the newer version (2009 onwards)
 
Ahhh simples.

Thanks for the insight. Personally I'm only looking at those with hardtops, but the retractable hardtop is a great feature.

you need the newer zed then, the E89, there are many engine/specs to look at

The current Z4 is roughly 6" longer than the previous model.

Far be it from me to say that an extra 6" wouldn't make a more formidable size :wink: but I was looking at two which seemed a hugely different in lengths. Maybe I was going mad and mistook a Z3 for a Z4 or something daft like that.

The 2009+ E89 Roadster sounds like a winner. Any fallback from that model I should look into?

Thanks to all for the great insight and welcome :thumbsup:
