So maybe the dealer was trying to keep you sweet with his price if he is offering it on the open market for £20k ?
Ultimately the decision is yours alone well knowing the cars history and previous problems.

I am happy with my decision though it was a tough one to make. I am still thinking about buying another car but maybe not a Z4. The trouble is there are not many 'sporty cars' in Norfolk so if you spot something it is miles away. I got that one in Reading which is 3 hours. I will just sit tight and see what comes up.

I bet the dealer says nothing to the prospective buyer either - He will be in for a shock if he signs up to this forum!

A shock about what ? a used performance car that's had need for repairs isn't exactly news at ten .
Ive read all the OP has had to say & imo he's had sand in his fanny from the off .
Providing it passed muster at the point of trial-inspection-handover id buy the car tomorrow if i was in the market for a 35is .
You don't even guarantee a flawless example ordering up a brand new one .

After a quick scan of the posts I detected the “it’s a dodgy car” theme - maybe a new buyer would form the same opinion?
I also detected a bit of vitriol in a few post - I didn’t really understand why.
