Best Year/Buying Tips/HELP!?!?

Hello all,

As a soon to be newly initiated newb** haha I am currently looking to purchase my first Z4! I have bounced around from 2003's to 2007's. Any advice on if/what year is most reliable? I have read about the revamping in 2006 and such, but would like some advice from the experts! What year/years should I be looking at? I currently have a 2007 3.OI manual black on black picked out for $18,000. It has 77,000 miles on it, single owner in california, and some other good trimmings. Is this a fair price? Is it wise to buy a newer (2007) model or an older model? I am trying to decide whether the heavier depreciation on a 2007 would be worth avoiding the possible maintenance on an older model (although 77,000 miles may bring some trouble?). Any advice or direction to other similar posts would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you mucho!,
josh
 
Welcome,

Maintenance isn't really an issue. The rear springs seem to snap whenever they feel like it, could be 10000, could be 100000 miles.

This along with the roof motor (on early models) are the only real issues with the Z4, they are pretty solid otherwise. The year should depend on your budget, you should worry a little more about the spec. Try to get a decent stereo as the base model is pants and quite difficult to retrofit.

Good luck with your search
