Hello from Bournemouth.

Well you will get a lot of different opinions and advice on here. Might be an idea to state what size power unit you are looking for and some idea of your budget, these will be critical in the advice you recieve
 
Thank you for the tips.
I'm thinking 30i and budget up to £15k.
I would only want a manual.
I've been looking on Autotrader and Pistonheads and that seems reasonable.
 
Welcome from Bomo too here.

You just missed one in Bournemouth…

SOLD Thread '2013 Alpine White 35i manual 46k miles BMW Warranty - Bournemouth'

Hi all, I’m considering selling my manual 2013 Alpine White Z4 35i and wanted to gauge interest here first.

I bought the car in September 2024 from a fellow forum member, who had also bought it from another member, so it feels only right that it’s offered back through the forum again to another enthusiast who’ll look after it.

The car has been garaged for most of its life, is in great condition and is highly specced. It also has an extensive service history, with a full folder of paperwork covering everything from routine servicing and tyre changes to smaller jobs - even have roof...

I literally missed out on one this morning, as it sold this morning. The seller was very helpful and he told me to check out this forum.

I think this is the one I saw on Autotrader. Seller sold it this morning. 😔
 
Yeah I was literally just sending it to you when he updated the thread!
 
As B21 has pointed out, the one that has sold is a 35i.
That is a 3.0 N54 engine with twin turbos.
Heck of an engine with serious tuning potential - and serious bill potential 😉
Produced from 2010 to 2016 in the E89 I think.

The 30i is a 3.0 N52 normally aspirated engine. Much loved and sought after in manual form. In the E89 it was only available from 2009 to 2011 (there is an occasional 2012 registered car seen).

I would strongly advise reading up on both and then decide which is the one you want.

£15k is an excellent budget and will get a superb example of either car.
