Hello, I’m looking for a Z4 3.0 buyers guide, it’s probably my advanced age and limited intelligence but I can’t find one here. Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks fb. If I do buy a Z4 it’ll be my 4th BMW, having previously had an E36 325i coupe, then (briefly) an E30 325 Touring which I took from a friend in PX. The third was an E30 M3, which is one of the cars I wish I hadn’t sold....

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I see you've now got a link to the buyer's check list.
Which 3 litre model are you looking at?
The original model was the 3.0i which had the M54 engine, then there was a facelift in early 2006 when the 3.0Si replaced it and used the N52 engine. They're both good, but there are a few differences.
Good luck finding the right one, and don't forget we like photos!

Thanks all. I’m undecided on engine at the moment, more research to be done. It’s likely that I will try to find the best car for my budget rather than fix on one specific motor, although once I’ve done some more reading that may change
