Height of different models
Quick question....
From a side on view, is the msport lower than the SE?
Ive got an SE and am collecting an msport next week.
Were I go from the road to my driveway theres a ridge which only gives a little bit of clearance between the bottom of the car and the top of the ridge.
I think it might be a problem if the msport is physically lower....

The Official BMW classification for the M series Z4 lists a 10mm reduction on suspension based on 18" wheels (standard) this would change if the optional 19" wheels were specified when ordered.

Not sure about that as the 19” wheels run lower profile rubber to bring the rolling circumference back down

Could be right about that not sure what tyres are supplied from new. Interesting point is that the overall height is still mentioned as 1291 irrespective of the model beit M or a standard E89 which as standard is specified with 17" wheels. So is the 10mm lower suspension to compensate for the difference between 18 and 17" wheels so as to maintain the same clearance underneath.

Cheers all,
I reckon 10mm will be OK. Couldnt take much more than that tho!

Traded in. Managed to get them up to £9k for it.
The new one is a 2.0 Msport with 21000 miles. 1 owner. 2 x BMW service and 1 by Evans Halshaw.
Has Pro nav, pro speakers, comfort access, heated seats, extended lighting, folding mirrors, wind deflector, 326s, Bluetooth, auo lights/wipers and parking sensors.
Got it at a good price, they didnt realise the spec. They dont know it has comfort, ext lighting, pro speakers....
Pick up on wednesday. Will be sad to see the 23 go, but am really missing DAB and bluetooth...also cant wait to get a reasonable sound system as the standard one is dire...

Hope so.......I looked all over for a well specced 2.0 or 2.8.......well specced with low miles at a decent price is quite rare!
Dont worry, Im not after taking your z4 title.....but 2 in 3 months is a start.....
