Z4 2008 vs 2011-and price difference

[328skidpad]

I somehow posted this in the e85 forum
I have owned 7 bmws and had a 2008 335 with the n54 engine. was a awesome car (coilovers and JB tune)

So I just sold my toy car and want to get into a e89 but was wondering if I should save a few grand for more mods and get a 2009 instead of a 2011?
just wondering if there were upgrades to the n54 after 2008 or 2009

last thing i need is to tell wife oh honey i am spending 3000K on new turbos..
a few of the cars I am looking at have less than 45K miles and are 6mt

thanks for checking...

About the same till you get into the 2012 with the updated fuel pumps. Depreciation is on it's way down, so I'd go for the one with the options I wanted. Hard to do any factory upgrades...

Just find out if the 2008 has the latest HPFP. If so, you're good to go. Also, pre-index 12 injectors are a known problem, which both the '08 and '11 have, unless they've been replaced. It's not a deal breaker IMO if you DIY it, but it's about $2500-3000 to have it done for you down the road.
