Looking to see if there are any coming up for sale next few weeks...

- Grey, or maybe Silver or something 'different'
- Budget about 10K

Hi, I think you’re going to have to up your budget a bit if a 28i is on the radar-that’s pushing it for a 20i as well unless it’s a leggy example?

Fair enough.. you call and I raise (a bit) !
Agreed 2.8 is unlikely, but no harm in asking...

Congrats.

Don't be nervous. As far as I can tell there are no more issues with a Z4 compared to any other car.

I’d be looking for another mechanic that was more familiar with the cars, bmw z4’s seem to be very reliable if looked after properly

I bought an E89 23i last summer and to be completely honest, there have been a few issues, but nothing serious and I am more happy with it now then when I first got it! Every day I walk outside, see it, unlock it and get into it it puts a smile on my face!

Issues were:

Rear nearside indicator stopped working due to water ingress - known problem on the older units and the whole unit needs to be replaced, but simple job and new unit is a slightly different design.

Small oil leak from valve cover gasket - seems to be common with a lot of BMW engines as the block is tilted over. Again, easy enough to fix.

That is all the issues I have had so far and the car is nearly at 60k miles.

It sounds like your mechanic was making a general comment about the brand based on some pre conceived notion....but not specifically Z4's?

true Rob, just a generalisation I guess
