UK 2012MY sDrive28i spec
Following on from my earlier post, not sure if this should be in a new thread, but here goes;
I was looking to order a 35i with DCT until BWM UK released the 2012 Z4 sDrive28i details, the lighter/shorter twin turbo engine with 350Nm of torque, sub 6 second 0-60 time, 41mpg (fuel is £1.30 / $2.70 per litre in the UK) and £6000 list price saving against the base 35i made me think again. My spec: E89 Z4 sDrive28i N20 2.0i (week 36 production onwards) Deep Sea Blue Canberra Beige leather (not the extended version) Connectivity Package (consists of Professional Sat Nav, Bluetooth with Telematics, Telephone USB interface, BMW assist, BMW assist online portal, DAB radio). This package is currently a free upgrade in the UK funded by BMW/increased dealer margin. You do have the option in the UK to take the cost of this option (c.£2900) and use it to fund other upgrade options instead. Not sure how long this offer will last. Internet Option 614 - the car has it's own dedicated built-in SIM card and the option is added to the Comms/Media package at the time of order, includes a 3 year subscription as per BMW assist/online portal including the data charges, you can then renew per year. There is no retro fit option. The iDrive becomes a 'mouse', it can only be used when the car is stationary, you can add bookmarks, home page, favourites etc. Does not support flash/silverlight/java currently, the CPU and data rates will not be as fast as a PC with broadband (I think it's Edge/GPRS at best rather than 3G), it cannot display Asian character set yet. Comfort Package (Wind deflector, folding/dimming mirrors, extended storage, park distance control, cruise control, extended lighting) 18" wheels, style 293 8-speed sport auto - this is a new option replacing the 6-speed, the shifter is now the same one as the DCT and the paddle arrangement has been revised on the steering wheel, left for downshift, right for upshift. Adaptive Msport suspension - a great option if you have experienced standard BMW Msport suspension with run flat tyres on UK roads (I have that on my current 335i Coupe), it can be a bit harsh/wearing if you are not in the mood. The dynamic drive settings have changed on all models to Comfort, Sport and Sport+, the change in feedback through the seat, steering and throttle is amazing when you shift from Normal/Comfort to Sport (experienced on a 35i demo car). Sports Seats with seat heating, brushed aluminum trim, through load facility with storage bag - a must for me to be able to get the roof down with a set of golf clubs in the car, BMW Business Loudspeaker system, and finally added the 5 year / 60,000 mile service package. >>> During the process, I also established the following which may be of interest to anyone else looking to order a 2012 spec car (UK information, so things may be different depending on where you are located); 20i & 28i Vehicle Duty drops from Band J to Band G (cheaper annual road tax in the UK), benefit in kind (BIK) rate drops from 29% to 21% (another potential tax saving for some). DVD changer preparation option deleted. CD changer option deleted. Auto start-stop on manual 20i & 28i cars, Kansas leather, servotronic steering, rain sensor/auto headlights, USB audio and bluetooth all now standard. Pure White Design package deleted. Ivory White Nappa deleted. Havanna metallic deleted. Mineral White metallic option added, you must also add the Pure Balance Design package in Cohiba Brown, there is no other interior colour option currently. However, you do appear to be able to specify the Pure Balance Design package in Cohiba Brown with other exterior colours. Anthracite wood is only available with the PBD package. No idea on the Angel Eye lighting, will try to find out, there are no pre-production 28i cars in the UK yet. So there you have it, hope the info helps any other potential Z4 newbie's out there ! |

Just saying hi to all as I am new here (and to the Z4). I have been in BMers for the past 10 years but was just given this site to go to. Living the dream in Southern California (with the top down of course).

Hi All. I just traded in my 2009 Porsche Carrera S on a 2011 Z4 35i Titanium Silver Metallic. This is my first BMW after 3 Porsches in a row. I wanted a 35is but there were none to be had. This forum was very helpful in my decision making process. My dealer had to ship the car in from Oklahoma so I won't actually get it until next week. Meanwhile I've got a 6-spd 535 loaner to enjoy.

At last - my dream car!
Picked up my '09 plate 35i auto at the weekend - OH MY GOD! It's even better than I could ever had imagined! Keep finding excuses to take it out (had to get a paper on Saturday - from 3 towns away!)

My 23 is quite quick enough so the 35 must be an absolute rocket. The only plans I have for my 23 is to put on non-RFTs when they're near legal limit and an attempt to deswirl the paintwork and minor scratches.

Hi!
I'm new to the forum and the world of Z4 I live in Cracow and I’m a happy owner of 2009 Z4 23i, Ocean Blue with Pure White Design package and manual transmission. So far I’m delighted with a car. My previous one was 2007 BMW 118d, so Zed is a huge improvement in terms of power, grip and fun factor – joy as they say in BMW I’ve managed to shoot one picture or two pictures, so here it is… Cheers Gapek |

A Newbie To The Site, Not to BMW
Hi Everyone,
I'm Rick and new to the site. Have been viewing the site for months. You are all great people and very helpful. I bought my 2011 Jet Black on Blk 35i in June of this year. I had a 2006 3.0Si for 3 years and moved to the E89. Have all the goodies and love, absolutely LOVE this car. My baby has DCT, Prem Audio, Sport Pack Nav and more. I'm very glad to be here and hope to contribute as well. Thanks! Last edited by RichysBlk35i; 12-22-2011 at 02:29 PM.. Reason: Add Pictures |

Hey all, I'm Jay from Florida and have been only reading this forum for the past year because I’m new to the BMW world and started with a 2010 35i Sdrive. I didn’t have any experience or advice to give until my friends took me a track and after two of them I’m hooked so I joined in case anyone around the area has questions. I have been tentative on modifications, specifically the ESS flash tune because the forums talking about the dealers canceling the maintenance plan. Has anyone actually heard of this? I look for it in the news but can only see the warnings on the forums. Here are a couple of shots a Sebring, once you go to a track and test your capabilities you’ll never stop! Only problem is getting in this thing with the top up and Helmet on for some tracks since I’m 6’6”.

Newbie Z4 Owner from Belfast!
Hi Guys!
I am a recent owner of a beautiful late 2009 BMW Z4 sdrive23i with 10500mls. Changing from a MINI Cooper S to this is a huge leap and one I am having so much fun with. I have been trawling this forum since collecting Zed and thought it high time I registered. Needless to say roll on Spring, or at least a dry day to get the hood down. I hope to add some subtle mods like a black grill for starters. Heres some pics.... |
