How or where did you buy your Z4?

Took me a few days. The car I had was causing issues so started looking at more reliable makes. Browsed BMW, never having had one before. Saw the local dealer had a yellow Z coming soon, googled the colour, thought it looked ace, went to see it when they got it, bought it, love it. End of!!!! 
A mates sister was selling hers as she needed the space, he mentioned it to me and I had a look as I had never really taken any notice of these cars before. I suppose I thought they were expensive cars because they have that look, she was selling it at a good price, I had to have it.
Oh, and because it was blue too

Bought my Z4C from my mate after he was selling it for a decent price. Always admired it in the work car park but never thought I could afford something like that. Wouldn't have ever considered one if I had to buy a car through the dealerships. I'd have stuck to a generic model like a Ford and probably paid similar money!
Ebay... Via Classified ad.
Saw it on there, liked the look of it, got in touch with seller, did a deal over the phone (£500 off asking price) subject to car's condition.
Hired a trailer next day and left house @ 2pm, returning 1am following morning after a 560 mile round trip to Great Yarmouth!

I went to big motoring world in Sevenoaks to buy my wife a 1 series coupe, white with red leather, she loved the car but I had to pay to have the leather changed to black with white stitching, you just cant please women,
after the sale I had a look around the 100s of cars,
And that's when it hit me a black z4 coupe ruby black 2008, it stood out from everything around it, I sat in her and could not believe the excitement I felt, love at first sight,
I brought her right away probably paid over the top, but I didn't care, never had a BMW before (range rover man) 2nd year of ownership countless mods and now would never part from her,
I have been converted,

Both of mine were bought from 2nd hand dealers... After 12 months of running one car in the household, we decided to get something a bit more interesting as a second car. Mrs Pilot had visions of sharing something red and convertible (sharing - like that was ever going to happen! :lol: ), so it took a couple of weeks to hunt down a red 2.5. Somehow we just didn't gel - I think I'd just got that convertible thing out of my system with a previous MX5, but I just kept coming back to the thought that the Zed that was really interesting and a bit special was the Coupe.... It also helped that it would mean a move up the scale to the 3 litre engine :evil:
So after some gentle spousal persuasion and the application of man maths, the deal was done and the convertible chopped in for the coupe. Mrs Pilot swopped the Peugeot for a Mini Convertible (albeit black....) and all is well with world

After an 8 month search for a 3.0si I was surprised to find one at my price point on the BMW site. Authorised Used Car 200 miles away - not my preferred colour and lacking cruise but otherwise just as others on the forum had said . . . . a terrific engine on the road test. Within 200 yards and a couple of roundabouts I immediately did a part ex on my 2.0 litre. . . .
