I have been lucky not having to spend very much on the Z4.
The 2006 1.2 Corsa Steptronic is another story though.

Any work under £500 is general maintenance!

I did mine on my coupe last year, can confirm the exhaust and prop needs to be removed or at least moved out the way.
I did try and see if it could be done from above but not chance without modding the tunnel.
Going smoothly without issues it took a couple of hours. My exhaust had been done a few years ago.

Just collected car - new handbrake fitted, works like a dream. I realise now its never been right since I bought the car.
Cost came in under his quote too at £242 inc. VAT. Very pleased

How many handbrake-related dreams have you had?
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone
