Zed4 discontinuation?

[TONYMOR]

I've read several reports that the latest zed4 along with some other BMW models are going to be a short run build .
Anyone else heard the rumour?

Yes, lots of reports in the press. It seems the z4 could be for the chop as BMW rationalise their bloated product lineup. However I assume this means they will not develop the next gen z4. Hopefully we will get a few years of G29 production. The production is outsourced to Magna Steyr which suggests they were not expecting mega volumes.

Been some discussion on the G29 market watch thread the last few days about this: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=114808

A few threads on the subject already. We shall see whether they do in good time. :roll:

Be surprised if the new model reaches a third of the sales of the previous model.

Probably the best thing that could happen as it officially died in May 2009 anyway.
