ROLF... The US spec cars will have the feature of the start/stop technology...There WILL be a button however to turn the feature off if you dont like it!

I am checking on rates and residuals for the 2012... Will keep you guys posted as soon as they get released!

OK, let me get this straight.

Keeping the hard top, getting rid of the in line 6 that has proven itself over and over for a measly 4 cylinder and a dual mouse fly wheel?

BMW is going backwards on this car.

1. Get rid of the hard top crap, its a rag top car.
2. Put one awesome motor in it not two.
3. Fix the rear end, it's too fat.
4. Make a M Model
5. Call me when all the above happens.

Happy Motoring.

Is the 35i now the N55?

red-sauerkraut · 07-28-2011, 08:02 PM

Amazing that a BASE Z4 now in 2012 costs what a Z4M cost in 2006 (counting discounts at the time).

Well you have to take into account about 4% inflation per year, plus the loss of US dollar vs the Euro.

Sorry I can't agree with you

I will never ever buy another rag top, that's yesterday's technology.

I'm frustrated the new S5 is a rag top, the new 6 is a rag top, the new E vert is a rag top...really aggravates me

I wanted to get a E vert instead of another Z4 (I like to change things up, I love the new Z4 but I like having different cars, hence why I lease), but it's a damn rag top so it's useless.

I do have to agree that having a M model would be great

But you have to have 2 motors in a model line up. One that's fast, one that's not as fast :P

That's why it was a slow seller and BMW had to kick in some major incentives.

I've actually heard that in 2007, people were able to purchase their almost fully optioned M coupes for less than 45,000. Definitely a car whose production ultimately exceeded its demand.

dam still overpriced

I want one. . . . .

theonlynameleft · 07-29-2011, 06:12 PM

You have no idea how many times I've heard that about the garage. It's my gf's moms house (and stepdad). The stupid thing is it USED to be a 2 car garage before he took it over and built some stupid desk so he can work on his bike (bicycle not a motor bike). And all his crap is on the other side so now it's a 1 car garage. If you think that ceiling is bad you should see the rest :s

Thanks for the compliment though

Wet sanding and buffing sounds like either it'll be expensive or if I attempted it I'd screw it up royally

uhhhhhh, what?

Imola.ZHP · 07-31-2011, 10:14 AM

$50k for a turbo4?

Damn that sounds like a tough sale in the US. Just saying...

x97Melbourne · 07-31-2011, 09:52 PM

So.....the new base engine is 240HP instead of 255HP? I guess the new engine is lighter.....but you are loosing 15 HP.....how is this better performance? Just asking.

yeah, mixed up

STIHLBOLTS · 08-01-2011, 12:24 PM

Its still a 4 cyc. I don't care how much extra stuff you put on it, it still don't beat displacement.

If I wanted a car with a 4 banger I would have bought a Honda.
