BMW Z4 3.0i sDrive - thoughts?

Dear all

Looking at one of these tomorrow. It's a 2009. Anything specific to look out for?

It has a fully stamped s/h. Has all the usual spec like electric, heated seats, sat nav, etc etc.

I'm coming from an E46 M3 so keen to hear if there are any weak points of the E89.

Cheers

Water ingress and cracks on rear lights. Cracked/buckled rims, particularly on 19's (On Inner edge) are the two obvious ones. Both quite expensive to resolve. Wear on seat bolsters and where seatbelt rubs. Plenty of rattles and squeaks is normal.

If its any comfort, I have a 2010 3.0i sDrive. - it's done 112,000 miles without any issue.

(plus, no water issue with rear lights, and no seat wear issues! )

Expect it to feel slower - and considerably less focused - than the M3

The car will get more attention !

Agree, but nowhere near as much as my Z3
