Post by Dr.Gonzo » Wed Nov 26, 2014 7:14 pm

Hello I was looking for 4 weeks to get bmw z4 3.0si roadster in manual. However I found one lovely offer for BMW Z4 23i in manual so I decided to go there tomorrow.. problem is I spent all previous time for research of e85 models.... I dont know a lot about E89..

iS it anybody here experienced and can give me some advice what to look for ..?
Is there any buying guide?

car have 80 000 miles price is 9995, full service history, sport seats, bi xenons, just serviced, new tyres and brakes,

Is generaly z4 23i good choice?
I prefer old engines rather then newer turbocharged...

Anything interesting don't be afraid to share with me.. every little info will help now.

Thank you :driving:

I think rattles have been the main thing to look out for and although there has not been many with problems I would give the roof a good looking over as this will be very expensive to fix :!:
Check the alloys for cracks especially if its got 19" 296 style ones fitted
That's all I can think of specific to the E89 I'm sure someone will be along with other things
I had a 23i for 3 years previous to my 35i and had no problems
It wont be as fast as the 3.0 you were looking at but I've had no problem keeping up on forum hoons :wink:
Good luck :thumbsup:
