2010 or 2011 Z4 options

[tIndy]

I am looking at upgrading from my 07 Z4 to a 2010 or 2011 Z4.

Does anyone have a listing of the options that were available? I am trying to determine what options the used market has.

Look up on edmunds or similar. There is always an article describing the car, the options, engines, etc.

I think the basics would be...

Engine: 3.0i, 3.5i, 3.5is
Trans: 6MT, DCT, Auto
Packages: M-Sport, Technology/Navigation, Cold Weather

Are these any help to you?.....

This is pretty much what I remember, with a few of additions for the 2010 model. Ours was ordered in September 2009 and built in November 2009, and is a Canadian specification model so some packages are probably different. Nevertheless, the options for the 2010 Canadian spec model that I remember are as follows:
- no M-sport package. Bumpers / trim the same for all models.
- Same for IS - it came out after we ordered our '2010' model, and I think was marketed in North America for the 2011 model.
- Adaptive suspension was available as a stand-alone option, which also lowered the car by 10mm. We ordered this.
- Seats were available in powered 6 or 8 way (I forget which) or Sport. The Sport was manually adjustable in most ways vice power. We ordered the power seats.
- iDrive / Navigation was indeed a package. We did not order this.
- Cold weather was a package. We ordered this.
- we ordered the 6MT. Personal preference.
- There were at least two audio grades. We ordered the premium grade, and I think it came with the luxury package that included comfort access and a few other tweaks that I forget, but that might have included the power seats. From what I've read on this forum, all audio packages are less than optimal in this car. I tend to agree.
- the rear wind deflector I think came as part of the luxury package.
- the front and rear parking sensors were available as a stand-alone option. This is a must-have feature in my opinion, and we ordered it with ours.

get a 2014 and up. LCI refresh is way better

also get the 4 turbo. Better value. 6 isn't worth it. Had both.

I was looking at a '10 or '11 35is, you would recommend the 4 turbo?

Hmmmm. Drive both first and decide for yourself. I'd beg to differ....

Before the 2012 - there were fuel pump issues. Search out here, plenty of data...

4 if you listen to your brain, 6 of you listen to your heart

6 cylinders of course
With DCT
One of the best cars I have ever driven

Wasn't the fuel pump warranty extended to 10 years ?

I have a 2018 4cylinder twin trurbo

And a couple N54 6 cylinder engines.

N54 by far is the engine to get in a Z4 if you want performance.

If you want a cruiser - then settle for the 4 cylinder

I test-drove both 30i, 35i and the 4-cylinder and I immediately ruled out the 4. Since Friday have a 2011 35i with the DCT and just love it.
