BMW Z4M Coupe to 370z? Test drive

Parrotguy · 04-25-2010, 11:43 PM

I just turned in my '07 Z4 on my 36 month lease. My buyout price was $26,400, BMW agreed to lower that by $1000. 8.75% tax here in CA plus new registration fee and I was looking at about $28,500. So I pick up the newspaper and see a BMW dealer add for an '07 3.0 CPO like mine for $24,775 asking price. Our leases were based on unrealistic residuals, so it makes no sense at all to buy it. If your heart is still on the Z4, BMW just announced a $2500 incentive, further evidence that they overpriced the new Z4.

I have a pearl white 370Z roadster on order, delivery expected in about three weeks. Sales price before tax and license $37,000 vs. the Z4 at about 55K. I know the cars aren't the same but is the Z4 worth 20K more? When I turned it in, the BMW dealer asked me what I was getting. When I told him about the price difference he said, I would have done the same thing.
