We've had our Z4 for about three years , I would comment as follows
You need the following
M tech styling pack , makes the car look more purposeful
I wanted Manual , so it could be rolled out of the garage in the morning without staring the enginefor my wife to use before I went to work ,you can't roll autos .
Comfort pack ,this includes folding mirrors , makes parking in garage easier , extended lighting ,I lov the way the door handles light up ,
Heated seats are a must in winter with hood down
Don't laugh but a heated steering wheel is superb great bit of kit
326 style wheel imo look by far the best on this car , also not many crack issues
Keep the Run Flats , You don't want a phone call of the wife or girl friend at 11-00 at night in the pouring rain asking you to come and change the tyres as you thought you were a smart arse and using NRF tyres the ride would be better !!! The tyres that is .
Dark colours show swirl marks an holograms in the paint far more
Sat nav , we don't have this I wish we did , I would say it's a must have .
The std radio is crap ,
Have the rear light clusters been replaced this was an issue ours were replaced under warranty
Fuel pump , bearing type noises coming from fuel tank , luckily on the third or fourth visit to the BMW shop the tech hear it and replaced the lot under warranty two months before it ran out . Phew , big money.
A Newer emissions friendly engine with start stop
The above is what I would want if I were looking , It's a great car roof down parked in the street , it says look at me , best classy looking car in its class , i.e. Boxter, SLK
Enjoy it once you get it ,
Could you explain the rear light cluster issue and fuel pump noise in a little more detail please.
Cheers
There's a pump in the tank that pushes fuel up to the engine and this can become very noisy. I had a 23i which sounded like somebody was trying to send morse code messages from inside the boot. It was a late 2010 model and had only covered 14k miles at the time. Fortunately it was under warranty and BMW changed the pump. It's a big job to get the tank out - they had the car 2 days and the bill (if I'd had to pay) was in excess of £1000. Apparently it's a well known problem but I think it only affects early cars.
Again on early cars the rear light clusters can fill with water. Many were changed under warranty.
