New Z4 on Order
Discussion
Well, after a 1 month foray into driving an older car, my wife has reverted to previous form and ordered a new car.
Its one of the new 2.0 Turbo z4's in M Sport Spec.
I think she got a decent deal - decent discount, free upgrade to M Sport spec (worth £2500) and £2200 deposit contribution by BMW.
Shes kept the spec simple - Black Sapphire, black leather, bluetooth and the 19 inch alloy wheel upgrade.
Just waiting on a build date now.

That looks good, and to be honest the drivetrain you've chosen is probably a very good compromise between performance and economy. (This might be useful in the future for resale too.)
I was never a fan of black cars, but my latest is. It gets mucky very quickly, but when it's clean, it does look lovely. I'm a bit of a convert.
I'm jealous.

Well the '28' version is still the 2.0 (twin?) turbo so you're paying another £4,200 to knock 1.2 seconds off the 0-60 time which seems a lot. The 'standard' car gets to 60 in 6.9 seconds, so its no slouch anyway.I was never a fan of black cars, but my latest is. It gets mucky very quickly, but when it's clean, it does look lovely.

The colour range is fairly naff - she had blue in her previous z4 3.0Si coupe so that was out, the metallic red looks a bit orangey, white and bright yellow are a bit too 'look at me' and silver and metallic grey just werent doing it.

thats lovely, I would also like to hear about the 2.0 turbo engine, makes good power and its economical, but would I miss the I6?
Her 'current' car is a 330Ci coupe, and her last z4 was a 3.0Si, so i know what you mean RE: the six cylinders.Theres a £12,000 jump in price to get the '35' 3.0 litre twin (scroll?) turbo version, which just starts to get into silly money, give the list price of hers with the extras is nigh on £36,000.
Shes went for a pre-built car, which has quite a few extras on it - heated seats, parking sensors front / rear, wind deflector, folding mirrors, cruise control, extended lighting, extended storage - plus the metallic paint, 19's, leather and bluetooth.
Its due in a weeks time!!

Getting mine on 1st March too. Red 28i Msport auto. Had Z4's before but recently been driving a 1 series coupe. Can't wait to get back to convertible driving again.
Nice. It was a close call on the metallic red, but she saw a new 3 in it in a bad light and was put off it a little - particularly are there was an Imola M3 beside it 
Post pics when you get it - would love to see it.
We are test driving one of these on the weekend for my other half. We have already driven a 23i which she liked. The performance isn't going to set the world on fire, but as has been said it's a good compromise between fuel and tax economy, performance and price. The M sport now comes with a fairly decent spec and doesn't need much adding to it IMO.
I think we will be doing a deal if the price is right, as there are some fairly significant dealer contributions out there.
Congratulations on an excellent choice!

CRIKEY! There are some good deals on these right now. I know, I know, finance is the devil's making, but for BMW, they genuinely do seem to be doing some good offers and a hefty deposit contribution.
Have seen quite a decent 24 month contract - in that time, and with a 3 year warranty, you'd be paying next to nothing apart from the finance to run it; first year RFL included, and it would likely only go through one set of tyres I imagine.
Interesting...

The deal my wife got is over £100 a month better than the deal she was offered this time last year on a 23iI think we will be doing a deal if the price is right, as there are some fairly significant dealer contributions out there.

The three factors seem to be free upgrade SE to M Sport, £2200 deposit contribution and strongish residuals.
