Close to buying!

Post by Phil UK » Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:25 am

Hi all,
Going out Wednesday with every likelihood of coming back with a 2019 Z4, two owner, 2 ltr, 29,000miles, 2 BMW service stamps. Currently have a 2010 MX5 Roadster.
Anything I should be particularly looking for?
Thanks,
Phil

Service intervals are 2 years/20,000 miles so it may well be due a service soon, you can check on the idrive.

20i or 30i? Dealer or private?

Do the usual checks, all electrics work including roof etc. Have a good feel around the floor of the cabin for any dampness.

Hi Scub,
20i at a specialist sports car dealer, 3 months warranty.
Are they prone to hood leaks?

No, not at all to my knowledge. But drain holes are not particularly accessible and can become blocked.

I'd be checking when next service is due and getting that filtered into the deal.
