Multiple Z4s owned ? 3 or more ? step forward
It wasn't planned this way when i started looking for a Z4 coupe in 2012 but 8 years later i'm on my 16th Z4 & it appears there are many others who can't resist a Z4 & have been tempted by not just 1 or 2 but 3 , 4 or even more
Step forward & tell us how many & i'l formulate a list of those who have it bad as its becoming clear that there are a good few members who have had a minimum 3 Z4s which considering they are quite impractical , often considered a summer or weekend car is a great accolade for them

Quick question, for those that went e85/86 to e89, will you stay e89?
And for those that went e89 back to e85/86, why?

Good idea OP!
Taz seems to have a few as well!
I'm a lightweight - I've had 2 but only 1 at a time.
ETA Photos - this is Z4 Forum after all!

I'm on number 2 Z4. 1st was 3.0 E85 then my current 3.5i E89. I would definitely have no problem going back to an E85. Something about them that make me go giddy every time I see one and from certain angles look better than the E89. Then there s the price. I don't think there are any better roadsters out there for the money
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..
BMW E85 3.0 Auto, sadly missed (twice)

Good question, and hard to answer imho. For me the E85 SE is such a fun car, just the right combination of power and handling, not too much so you can't use it all, you can really exploit the rev range, its nimble with fairly sharp steering and feel, but ultimately I prefer the E89, although it's biggest drawback is the lack of steering feel, it's numb, there's no denying it, but non run flats do go some way to addressing that, plus it's not as light but still very capable on non run flats, with a much nicer interior, a better all rounder I suppose. It'll be a quick thrash around if you want, and a laid back GT cruiser as well with a feeling of refinement the older 85 lacks. There may be set ups to correct the numb feel that I'll explore once the warranty runs out if I keep it. That said I'd be more than happy with the E85 if I have to sell the 89, I like them a lot.Sae wrote:Quick question, for those that went e85/86 to e89, will you stay e89?

...and no I wont elaborate, so don't ask !

Quite a contingent of multi Z owners among us
DPG & DLH i think are on 3 ? Z4M-2006 5 ? & jamie-z4 the same if not on 6 ?
It has been pointed out before but the fact that from £3k to £33k there is one for every pocket that can be enjoyed equally says a lot about the car
As for the E85 - E86 to E89 direction & can you go back from there ? Yes you can & in my case whilst the drawbacks were hard to ignore the plus points outweighed them
Buy & drive what you like , there is no superlative version in my mind
