Looking to purchase this beauty

[Boyo]

Boltz car is a manual and the car the OP has posted is an automatic, perhaps he has a preference for an auto?

Anyway looking at the ad I would want to check if it is a genuine M Sport model since it has brushed aluminium interior trim as far as I know the the M Sport came with sort of carbon chequered style trim. Not sure if the brushed aluminium could have been chosen as an option on an M Sport. It will be worth doing a VIN Decode and checking the V5.

Carbon alu trim was the default option on M sport models but you could spec brushed alu as a no cost option. Coincidentally Zed number 4 which I will be picking up later this week is an M sport with brushed alu trim. It's actually nicer in the flesh than in pictures and makes a change.

I stand corrected! I have to say much rather prefer the brushed alu to the carbon alu that the M Sport came with as standard.

Maybe. I struggle with the idea of an auto against a manual in a (supposed) sports car like the Z4. Admittedly, I can see the benefits of the six pot E89 with an auto (just). The N20 seems (to me) more suited to a manual, less of a cruiser than the 6 pot.

Out of interest what precisely either technically or emotionally causes your issues ref an E89 N20 Auto?

It's a low mileage, 2 owner, 2015 2.0i M Sport Auto in Mineral Grey with idrive and the usual goodies. I have a bit of pampering planned and possibly a remap.
