Im looking at something around the 04-07 age, with lowish miles.

Thought I was on to a winner with a metallic grey 04 plate 2.0 with 50k on it and fsh for £4200 but it sold before I could get there! Looked really nice aswell.....

I live 30 miles north of aberdeen, so if I do travel for the right car, it better be decent as its a long drive home!!

Always worth the trip out of Scotland , when I lived up there I always went south to buy a car ..why .. because a car thats not spent months of the year being washed in road salt makes a big difference to how they age .

Welcome OP. :thumbsup:

Just a thought but might it be worth considering a 2.2 or 2.5 as well? That way you get the straight 6 that makes the Z4 a bit more unique.

Good luck anyway, and don't forget the photos once you've found one!

Thanks all.....
Was looking at a 2.0 due to tax costs and limited budget......however, the right car is the right car, so if its a bigger engine....well...👍🏻

Welcome to the forum! :D :thumbsup:
Always difficult to balance this, not sure what sort of MPG the 2ls return but I know my 3l si can get as high as 42mpg on a long motorway run, tax wise its only about £60 more expensive between the 2l (£240) and the 3l (£305) which equates to £5 a month.... worth paying for the vastly superior 6pot engine imo! You should also be able to get a good condition, good spec 2.2 or 2.5 for that budget as well :driving:
