How Rare

[billz]

Just looked on this site http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html and found only 5 Z4 3.0si in Ruby Blacks with Champagne Leather and Piano Black Dash were produced in the uk from 2006

And ours was the last one

That makes your car very special!
I would love to know how many Pistachio Z3s were produced in the UK but can omly find this North American info...

Pistachio Green Metallic (14, 4 sunroof-delete, 8 automatic)
Black (6, 2 sunroof-delete, 3 automatic)
Sand Beige (5, 2 sunroof-delete, 3 automatic)
Extended Beige (2, 0 sunroof-delete, 1 automatic)
Extended Walnut (1, 0 sunroof-delete, 1 automatic)

Its a shame the site does not cover the Z3 range

 

[Dalek]

I know, very frustrating but the info must be out there somewhere!

 

[billz]

I think you can send a letter to BMW Archives and request the data

Always nice to dig a bit of history of your car out mate.

Part of the fun for me.

Here's mine, just put your VIN in

Great thanks

That’s for looking at parts.

I use bmwvin or etkbmw.

 

[billz]

Trouble is it does not tell you how many were produced, which if I admit is what most owners would like to know

 

[mrscalex]

I don’t think it’s in the public domain.

I do have total production numbers with VIN ranges for each build of car. So that’s engine size and market (US, Eur etc).

I've just looked at mine on bmwvin that explained a lot , I bought a hardtop a couple of months ago ,, as I noticed it had the heated rear window switch and fitting kit already installed . It turns out it left the factory like that and every other gissmo apart from a/c

 

[Redline]

Mine is unique according to that data. Only one listed and it has my VIN.
In addition to the spec my car has extended champagne leather interior.

Can it really be the only 3.0si in that combination?

 

[billz]

I noticed that the one Si sold is the only one to have had the extended leather ever to be made for the UK market

You can email BMW UK for number made etc.

I used to work in the department that provided the data.

Not sure if they still do it though
