Welcome to the forum, and good luck finding your Z4. :thumbsup:

If you want a straight 6 you'll probably find plenty of 23i models, 30i ones seem quite thin on the ground.

Have you been buying stuff from PerryGunn again mate?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Welcome! I've never been in a 2.0 E89 but I would guess the 3.0L would be more of a typical BMW experience. Enjoy your hunting!

Whether 6 cylinder n/a or 4 pot 2 litre turbo, they are all a massive step up from a Z3 in terms of refinement. The M-sport versions look nicer but have very hard suspension. The SE spec are generally cheaper but have much 'better' suspension.

Good luck with your search. Best time to buy a convertible IMO. :thumbsup:

Thanks, thats what Im noticing and the 30i's have high mileage (not a deal breaker) on my budget
