Hi All
I'm a newbie and looking for a 3.0 as an introduction to Z4 ownership.
Ideally manual, condition more important than year, budget up to £7,000 (but hopefully less!).
I'm in Kent, south of Tunbridge Wells.
Thanks
Steve

Plenty out there. Good luck looking and test driving. Be prepared to travel for the right car, don't impulse buy :driving:

Hi Mark
Thanks for the reply, but I'm really looking for a manual.

Nice looking car. I'm a bit concerned that the red interior might be a little... loud... for me, but I confess I've never seen one in the flesh. Do you ever get down Kent way?

BMW interiors are pretty minimalist and I didn't think a 'standard black' interior would look special enough for a weekend toy. Cream was out so plumped for this which I think is a good contrast with the silver grey body. I know what you're saying about loud but it certainly isn't garish in person.

I don't get over to Kent though I'm afraid.

Fair enough. Let me have a look at a red interior a bit closer to home and I'll get back to you.

I thought that I definitely didn't want the red! A Z4 came up near me that matched my req's except it had red seats... I test drove and fell in love! Now I think people are crazy to not have red. You definitely have to see in the flesh!
