My Z4 Coupe

Finally got around to cleaning my Z so it's time for a Readers Car thread

I've had it just over 2 weeks now and totally in love with it.

Hi lovely coupe, is this the sport? i cant figure out the visual differences or is it just specification.

also just out of interest what mpg are you getting? i have an increased commute but really want one!

great colour too,

Yup, it's a Sport. The Sport and SE are difficult to tell apart at a glance but the main difference is the suspension - the Sport sits 15mm lower than the SE.

I spent an age looking for the right one. I wanted this colour (Montego Blue), those split rims and it needed to be a manual Sport. It drives SO well.

MPG is really really dependant on what you're doing. I drove it home from London to Edinburgh yesterday and it averaged 40mpg (39.7 according to the trip) and I only needed one tank to do the 420mile journey. That is, of course, if you don't stray over 70mph. As soon as you do, it really drops. If I sit at 60mph in it I can see 42mpg which is fantastic for a 3.0 Straight 6.

If you decide to chase the 7000rpm red line then you can see the fuel gauge drop

Smart! Always preferred the Coupe to the Roadster, much more purposeful looking and probably better to drive?

Stunning! Absolutely stunning. Im looking at getting one of these, they seem to have gone up in price. I looked at a Z4M about 6 monthR ago and it only had 35k, and they wanted 15k. Great colour choice, looks mint, and I bet you dont see many others out and about

Very nice, although I do prefer the Roadster

How do you find it performance wise?

I prefer the Coupe

I test drove the Z4M Coupe as well when choosing which to buy so I know how they both go. The 3.0 at semi-sensible speeds and lower down the rev range actually pulls better than the M since it's lighter and below 5000rpm produces more torque. Of course when you wind up the M engine, it properly goes but for everyday driving there's not a huge difference. Either way, the 3.0 is enough performance for me

Lovely car but I can't get on with the dash for some reason. Is it nicely ergonomic though and the seats do look great

I've never liked the instrument cluster either, would look much nicer as a single plate instead of those two tunnel poking out at you. Either way, it's a nice car, I too much prefer the coupe to the roadster, looks much more purposeful.
