  • 1000 MILES ON MY 3.0 SI Z4 COUPE

    Have just completed the first 1K on the new Z4 Coupe.

    First impressions are that it's a very polished package. Certainly the quality of the finish is 100% better than my ZMC. Driving it I find the new 3.0 engine very strong, as is the 6 speed box. I didn't look at the new M car as I could not justify the extra £10K. I also did not think the example the dealer had was a particularly nice spec either. My car is dark metalic blue with cream leather and aluminium dash. It looks stunning - but not sure how the cream carpets will stand up to a wet winter in Surrey. Needless to say my wife loves it over the ZMC. The jury is still out regarding the benefit of SATNAV as the nice female voice seems unaware of the best rat runs in town. I traded a 3.0 SE Z4 roadster with an SMG gearbox in against the new car. I would not recommend the SMG gearboox to anybody. Very unrealiable and I challenge anybody to pull away smoothly out of a junction.

      Z4 COUPE

      Hi Fastdrive,

      My ZMC had all the usual improvements with regards ACS shocks and springs and uprated ARBs. It was also braced front and back - so the steering was razor sharp. The new Z4 is as good out of the box - the whole body shell is so much more rigid than the original.

      I must say that with 1.5K miles on the car I am very impressed with the Z4 Coupe.

      Regards.
