Hi From East London (Hornchurch)
I am New to the Z4 forum, I am Retired ill health for some 24 years < I am 59, a Mad Pc gamer as well
But have been involved with Another club forum, RX-8 owners club, and many years of fun!! and Great Advise with the members, I owned A JAP import 210bhp Auto with flappy paddle , the only one in the club, with 16" wheels lol, and many butt of jokes with in the club,
but it was all in good, jest, (I Think) I loved the club sceen and made many friends,, But alas the 8 had to go, twas a very sad day we did shed a tear or two me and the Mrs and the Kids,
Any way a few years along My Mrs wants to feel the wind in her Hair so an Open top Sports car it is, , have been reading up on details of many cars and decided A Z4 3.0L is the one to go for, But can only afford up to £5k at a Push,
I am minded of some of the issues of the older car with I guess 80+K, on the clock, not so the engine so long as it has been looked after, but the Hood Motor, shocks, springs and the is it the DISA valve, are things to take into account, if you have any advise for me or know anyone that lives near me would love to talk them, with regards the Car and any advise they may have for me, sorry I have gone on a bit that what you get with this OLD Cockney
Hope to join in with some Club antics etc , Ps the Mrs makes great cakes, cheers Members talk soon

Hi & Welcome
I don't know much about RX8`s apart from the fact, whatever you buy will have better fuel economy

Hi and welcome. Most problems with the z4 are relatively easy to sort especially roof motors several members can move it for you at a very reasonable price, disa fix is simply kits available for around £50 and simple job to do

Hi From East London (Hornchurch)
I know this one is a bit further away from you, but if you are considering a 2.5 why not have a facelift?

Hi From East London (Hornchurch)
It looks like it, the only person interested still has a Passat for sale!
If you're interested, why not just add something on the thread?
