the launch of the car is 8 of may i Norway. I have production first week in may and will have my car 25/30 of may. My boss told me that the new z4 is the cooles BMW he ever has seen.

I work at a BMW dealership and our demo/show car are soon finished. But I have to wait as everybody els!

Congratulations to all that have ordered! Once you all get your cars delivered, please make sure to post your reactions and/or photos and we will be sure to feature it on the bimmerpost.com front page!

Looks like we are only about 3 months away from seeing the very first deliveries by ZPOST members

patrice03 · 02-16-2009, 02:17 PM

well, since summer in norway does not last long, better have it early

am a little concern by z23 engine, it is as heavy as e92 325i, less torque, consumption by far higher (3l in the city), pollutes more... hope wont be too linear in such a heavy car... was rather disapointed by 325i, so z30 might actullay be a better choice... well , we still have time to change anyway.

GunSpeed · 02-16-2009, 04:14 PM

I ordered mine 01/27/09 and delivery is foreseen for week 19 (18-24 May)... but could be a bit earlier... can't wait!

So, you ordered one aswell. Congratz

JJ_Wonderboy · 02-17-2009, 12:35 PM

Hmm, I put an order down on the 24th Jan but have not received a confirmed build date. Whilst I've been told that I'm going to be one of the first to receive the new Z4 I just noticed that, on my vehicle contract, it has the 1st June as an estimated delivery date.

For those that have put an order down, what estimated delivery date do you have on your contract? I was under the impression that I'd be receiving it around the beginning of May...

My dealer tells me that they can't actually place the factory order at the moment, although they should be able to do this in February. To be honest I'm not particularly bothered about having one of the first on the road - the circumstances around my existing car and work commitments make it appealing to have something new around May, so the timing is pretty much spot on. If the new Z4 wasn't being launched in May, I would probably have went for a Boxster or Cayman, but given that I think the new Z4 is totally stunning, I'm glad I've ordered and have no regrets or worries about not having had a test drive in one.

Since the site admin's posted the launch photos back in December and have provided us with constant updates and spyshots for over a year, I will try equally as hard to get some good feedback and pictures on the car after I collect it.

I'm surprised you've been unable to actually place a factory order. I got mind sorted at the end of Jan and I was there as the dealer put the order into the computer... I can't imagine there'd be any difference between Scotland and England when it comes to placing an order.

Z4 Beemer · 02-17-2009, 01:24 PM

The sales guy could certainly tick all the boxes on the computer and put the spec together with all the prices, but said the actual factory ordering system wasn't available yet. I think (someone please correct if wrong), but the factory ordering system is an old basic text based interface. They know my spec anyway!

Have you been given a delivery date? They thought it wouldn't be possible to get it before launch date (9th May) and they actually have "11th May (estimated)" on the order form. Can't wait!

JJ_Wonderboy · 03-04-2009, 12:31 PM

Just had an update from my local UK dealer about my Z4 order. They've recently received an email direct from BMW which basically states that orders will be allocated a build date at the beginning of April and that production will start the first week of May (on a first come first served basis).

Not too sure how long these vehicles will take to be built or how long they will take to be shipped from German to the UK. Any ideas based on past experiences?

Anyhow, it's getting closer, guys.

TomT · 03-04-2009, 02:28 PM

The production of our 30i would be in april. Hopefully we'll have it soon!

Z4 Beemer · 03-04-2009, 02:33 PM

Surely they must start building them before the 1st week in May, in order to have them ready for the 9th...

Maybe there's a phased rollout of production for different countries. Anyhow, here's a snippet of the email the dealer received from BMW...

"Please note that quota will not be allocated until early April, at which point your order(s) will be assigned a build week. Production starts from week 19 (first week of May) and production slots will be allocated on a first-raised first-served basis."

I wonder if Norway get allocated production weeks slightly earlier than the UK. Either that or my dealer is not telling the truth. Hmmm, still it's good to hear your car is not far off. Hopefully mind will only be a few weeks behind. :-)

Just been told by the local dealer that my Z4 has been allocated build week 19 (first week of May). Sweet!

Does anyone know how long it typically takes for a car to arrive from the German factory to the UK?

I think delivery to the UK, tax, registration and PDI is typically around 2 weeks.
