Hi,
Going to look at an automatic Z4 today 2.5.Apart from roof motor issues and a few scratches it looks OK. Anything else I should be on the look out for?
Cheers Rich.

Welcome to the forum Rich. It depends what you want it for (daily, weekend car, fixer-upper) whether condition is the deciding factor. Engines are generally strong and the auto box seems to have a good reputation although I can’t speak from experience. Common faults are roof (not always the motor), starter motor, broken rear springs, clogged crankcase breather, corroded brake lines and play in the suspension (check MOT history for the last two). Good luck, I hope you find a nice car, they’re great fun.

Hi and welcome. Vanos service and Disa valve are always things to look out for. Roof motor relocation unless it's already been done. As Zedebee stated, check mot history to see what sort of life it's had, Mileage between mot's etc. Make sure you put some pics up if you decide to purchase.
