rust!
Hi all
newbie here - thinking of buying a z4 - already have a 3 and a 1 series but fancy a summer toy for next year.
do they suffer with rust? I've noticed on the 3 and the 1 (both 5/6 years old now) that there is a bit of rust coming through
if they do, where is common to look, and any recommendations as to who are the best places to sort it? I am in Surrey
thx

Welcome to the forum
My e89 is 11 years old and there’s no rust, they do seem to suffer from the front corners of the top section of the roof bubbling but that’s alloy so not rust as such.

My 2003 isn't showing signs of rust, woodworm, maybe. I think it depends where they have lived, sea air can attack them.

Does it double-up as an ice-cream van?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

They will be selling inflatable dinghies cheap soon. "Many items in stock. All only used once; low mileage (around 22)"

You live in the lighthouse then?
As to the RUST, the OP said his wife won't let him get one ATM, so by the time he does they will all be rusty anyway!

Welcome on board OP. Mine didn't have a spot of rust anywhere on or under it after 12 years.
