OK, just so you didn't feel ignored I took a look.
Put in the reg of my newly acquired 3.0i roadster and it brought up a pic of a coupe!
Doesn't instil a lot of confidence.
However, undaunted I forged ahead.
My personal opinion?
I'd stay subscribed to this forum, suss out a couple of local members with mechanical experience and an idea how to use code readers, Carly, etc and save your money to buy them a few beers when you need help.
But, to qualify that, I have a lifetime of fast jet mechanical work behind me. Less hands-on types may well find this useful.

Thanks for replying
I have Carly and have used it to clear/read codes and coding but I was more interested in what was available online
As Haynes never brought out a manual for a Z4.

I am counting on a combination of help from this forum, a similar mostly-North America forum, and the pair of Bentley manuals I have for the E46 and E90/E91/E92/E93 3-series cars. I would love to have TIS as well, but it looks as if that is a BMW paid subscription only.
I've "trained" on an E46 325xi and then on an E88 128i (which had a version of the N52 engine). But with some of the unique parts there's nothing that can match the help of fellow enthusiasts who have seen and fixed the same problem before !

I bought the Haynes online manual and never use it. It’s incredibly basic and I can never find what I need as it isn’t there. I’m usually looking for torque values.
RealOEM.com is great for finding part numbers.
Bummer-service.com is good for official bmw service manuals.
Workshop-manuals.com is also very good once you work out the unintuitive user interface

If I need torque settings for z4 I use my E36
Haynes manual,I always found the Haynes manuals a big vague covering too many models for car and motorcycle but you know it’s a part of car fixing history in the uk at least.
