Thinking about trading E90 for 2011 Z4is!

chopsinblack · 05-09-2011, 12:26 AM

Currently I have a 2010 335i in Black Sapp with Oyster Leather.

I am thinking about trading it in for a 2011 Z435is in Alpine White with Black Leather and its Loaded except for Navigation!

Any one have opinions about the Z4? It was a very fun drive but my concern is going from 4 doors to straight 2 seater roadster!

Also, has anyone gone from having the i-drive to a non navigation car?

Thanks for your input!

do you plan on modding it?

If so and you dont need backseats go for it!

Leasing the Z4? The current 82% residual makes the Z4 35is a straight up steal. If you're leasing, now is the time to get a Z4. Doubt you'll ever see a better deal.

I looove the IS Z4 but it's too similar in drive characteristics to your current car. plus no nav is a ball crusher. Like the other guy said, I'd go lease an M3. rates are retarded good right now.

Thanks for the advice!
I ran the numbers on a M3 conv, but the pymt was too much of difference!

I have about $3k negative in my trade, so the Z4 will keep me almost the same pymt.
the sticker on the Z4 is $70,325!

I want the Nav/i-drive, but i think i can deal without it for 2 years.
