Tine was correct

E90Fleet · 01-24-2006, 12:48 PM

Just thought I would tell everyone the information TINE gave was correct

A week or so back he said the E92 pics wont be out today, bhut Z4 Coupe ones will, and BMW DID release the official Z4 Coupe pics today

So pretty reliable info from TINE on a subject were good info is hard to find

SANK_CH · 01-24-2006, 12:51 PM

There are always some people who break the embargo

Unless of course you work for the press

Tine · 01-24-2006, 01:14 PM

Thanks. Of course I was right.

My sources ARE reliable. They give me absolutely correct info.

But sometimes I have troubles to interpret them right.

Sometimes even the sources have comprehension troubles - even mine, and also the ones SpeedF has (again, no 3.5L I6 NA engine for US!!!).

E.g.: there was an announcement inside BMW AG that BMW 3-series Motorsport Concept would be presented at IAA 2005. 99% people at BMW AG thought M3 Concept would debut - but in the end there was only 320si WTCC presented.

I was told about PR on Thurday afternoon, on Thursday evening I got the info the pics leaked (by some Dutch news site) but BMW AG intervened - pics were removed. But on Friday (Jan 20) morning they re-appeared on one automotive blog site (I reposted them here Friday night).

Leaked pics were found by BMW AG internet spider - yes they use a spider programs to collect forum, news site & blogs info - Friday afternoon. They could react legally (legal action threat), but the pic were already spread over the net, so no action was taken - also because it was Friday afternoon and no legal team was available at the moment.

The PR embargo ended today at 4 p.m. CET.

True. The pics were taken in RSA in the mid December; in Cape Town and around.

I posted the leaked pics on Friday here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...4&postcount=36

SANK_CH · 01-24-2006, 03:43 PM

tine seems we have the same internet source

1 pic of the Z4 M Coupé
2 pics of the Z4 Coupé 3.0i with 265Hp (euro specs)

stressdoc · 01-24-2006, 03:44 PM

The Z4 coupe is a great car. I think I prefer the Cayman S overall, especially the front compared to the Z4, and some of the suspension differences, but not enough to fork over the extra 8k+ for the Porsche. Well done BMW! And for goodness sake hire E90fleet before some other excellent company gets him!

noflash · 01-24-2006, 03:49 PM

I thought the Z4 coupe was official, but the M Coupe was still concept, yet confirmed for future production.

So, the M Coupe pic is an official release as well?

stressdoc · 01-24-2006, 03:59 PM

When I was in Capetown about ten years ago I had the good sense to rent a 318i. The drive from Hout bay over to Simon's town was extraordinary. The pics of the coupe remind of that most wonderful time. Can't wait to get back!

Both were officially released today (in Europe) - production starts in April. Expect US press release in the near future.

But nothing new - for US specs look at Z4 M Roadster and Z4 3.0si.

More pics:

SWEET !!!!!

stressdoc · 01-24-2006, 04:36 PM

Anyone want to post the tech data on these beauties? Weight, etc.? That M is gonna scream! Interlagos blue manages to be exotic, hi-tech, and subtle all at the same time.

F32Fleet · 01-24-2006, 04:59 PM

My only concern with that car would be it's engine (S54).
