When will E89 arrive in US, 2010 MY ?

Bay Area 335i · 12-19-2008, 04:36 PM

I know this is purely speculative but does anyone with some knowledge of the US market guess on the date we will see the first Z4 (E89) here, and will it be the 2010 model year?

Thanks

I read that they are starting delivery for the end of the second quarter of 2009 just in time for summer.

+1, from a marketing stand point, its the best choice/most productive.

I don't remember the exact document but the BMW Canada web site has just announced that the new Z4 will arrive in showrooms across the country in the Spring of 2009.

My guess is that we're looking at the same timeframe for the U.S. of A. if not earlier.

US launch is Jan 11-15 2009 in Detroit. Hopefully we'll get some info on pricing and see what changes, if any, they had to make for US regs.

Yea and hopefully we won't see any funky placements of DOT required amber reflectors

Amen to that. Hopefully it'll be largely unchanged, no funky bumpers and whilst we all know there'll be reflectors added, hopefully they'll be done tastefully this time.

Yes hopefully it'll just be a sidemarker on the side of the bumper which can easily be replaced with body colored or smoked replacement piece. ANd thank god no more BMW burger to deal with
