Looking to buy Z4

[omar123]

I am looking to buy a z4 (2.0L 2006ish model), however i know next to nothing about what i should look out for when inspecting one of them.

can someone give me the run down of the basics of what i should look for?

Also what is considered as high mileage? 70k? 80k?

thank you

If looked after they will sail past 100k
(2.0 Zeds are prone to throwing up engine management warning lights that are difficult to diagnose/clear)

Ok thank you. Should i steer clear from part service history ads?

Depending on price and a chat with the owner, I wouldn't discount them. However, if you're set on a 2 litre there are lots of cars out there if you're prepared to travel (which you should be imo) so hold out for full service history and a file full of receipts from past owners

I had a 2.0i with over 140k. Only sold it as I bought the 3.0i as,I was fed up of having to rag it to make it go.

Take a good look at the buyers guide. Mileage certainly is not everything when buying a Z4. 3.0 SI is the best bang for your buck. Happy hunting and welcome aboard.
