New Z4 in Philadelphia, PA - BMW Main Line Dealer

[The__J__Factor]

the turbo version was priced at $AUD112 000, considering our price is usually around twice as much as what you guys have to pay i think it might be around 60k US?

Local dealer who has seen the car and discussed with BMWUSA says 'about $5K above previous model.' That fits ballpark with your $60K.

My guess is that it will peg in just a bit under the E93.

any word on pricing yet?

They are expecting $4K higher price than the old generation Z4.

Here are the pix of the cockpit and the trunk.

Thanx! Do you have a picture of a trunk with closed roof ? Because trunk is useless with open roof...

It looks like the pic with the button is in a car that does not have the NAV option and I am thinking it is a storage box without the NAV. No button on units with NAV.

Yes you are right, it was empty inside no NAV. A small storage area for glass, etc.

Sorry I don't Shakal. The trunk with the top up was not that big either though, expectable from a roadster i guess Also there was a direct connection from the cockpit to the trunk through a rectangular flap.

You are welcome; I am sure you will like it better when you see it in person. I wonder how the M version will look like. I hope this time they make the grill on the front side of the cars like the Z3 M was

so like 60k fully loaded?
or 60k base price....

if its base...man it is one expensive car.

btw, are those pics of the sdrive30 or 35?

thanks.

Sdrive30. No turbos on the engine.

My guess is around $60K for a well loaded E89.

As to M-version: why? Put the Dinan firmware into the N54 engine and this car should get near 4.0 - 4.3 zero-60. Assuming decent underpinnings and sound handling, would predict that - right out of the box plus Dinan tuned - it will do anything you'd want a car to do outside a track setting.

In these tight times, not easy to see what BMW would add from the parts bin to justify an M label and much doubt any R&D would be invested for such a niche market. BMW did have opportunity to tune up the N54 in the 3-series and has chosen not to, so rumors of a BMW-sponsored firmware upgrade are so far just that.

finally, pictures of one without the navi!!!!!

ive been waiting for so long to see one. verdict: eh

[jgorman13]

Ok, does anyone else realize that this car (supposed to retail at about 40K) does not have auto climate?????? What are they thinking? thats kind of ridiculous for a base car that starts that high. The 3 series comes with dual zone. Not for nothing, i like putting a comfy temp and letting the car do the rest.

@ Trunk space

We took the test at the auto motor show Brussels, and you can put a flightcase of 75x30x50 cm in it.

That's about 30x12x20 inch if I'm not wrong. So you can get an idea of the size of the trunk.

Was that with the roof up or down?

I seriously doubt that's a U.S. production model. I'm about 100% certain the real deal is gonna have auto climate control.

The car is absolutely OUTSTANDING in person.

Based on comparisons of announced prices in Europe between the current 3.0si and the new sDrive30 I think it will be priced very close to that; around $42 and the sDrive35 will be about $5k+ more.

With the roof up.

With the roof down, the trunk space will be almost twice as small.

Jury is still out for me. I saw the car in person at the toronto auto show; wasn't impressed. I honestly have no love for hard-top convertibles; once the top is tucked away, the trunk is useless. I would much rather see the Z4 in a rag top.

No Premium Package.

The hood sucks big time with those big grooves. I will probably get the M version so I hope there is a hump in the hood instead of an indent.
