Z4 2.0 e85 - Advice

[wai106]

Hi Guys,

Im looking at getting myself a e85 z4 2.0 110kw (2006 - 2008) and have a few questions for those of you who own/have owned a 2.0 z4.

I had a 2004 Z4 2.5 for about 9 months and the fuel costs were too high for me to use it as a daily so im looking for open top driving at a reasonable cost for everyday.

Questions:

Driving:

Did the car ever feel under powered when overtaking etc?
How much mileage do you get out of a 55 tank;
what are the real-life city driving figures?
what are the real life high-way driving figures?
what are the real-life mixed driving figures?

Maint:

Service 1 costs and service 2 costs outside of plan?
Does the car have a cambelt or chain belt?

what was your overall experience with the car - rated 1 - 10?

I'd be really surprised if the 2l is significantly more fuel efficient than the 2.5l. 75% of the difference will just be your driving style. Maintenance cost should also not differ significantly (other than 6 vs 4 cylinders).

If you are thinking 2.0i Z4, you'd be better off getting a Mazda MX5...
