Looking for Z4 **low budget**

[richzed4]

Hey,

I'm upgrading from a Renault Megane 225 so budget is on the low side between 3-5k.

I would prefer the 3.0 litre in grey with Ellipsoid wheels, I've just seen this;

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201505103351584/sort/default/model/z4/radius/40/colour/grey/make/bmw/usedcars/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/postcode/e139ee/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/channel/cars/page/1/price-to/14000?logcode=p

Whats your thoughts? Are these motors expensive to maintain with high miles?

To be honest I would prefer a coupe but they are much dearer /-:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

That would be well worth a look with a £4k budget & ticking your boxes .
The seller is obviously knowledgeable about the car & listing the service history shows no gaps in routine stuff
Wheels refurbed & non runflats ? Thats a £500/£600 saving
I ran a similar car just last year with 125k on , , , ran like a swiss watch so wouldn't be concerned , these aren't made in France
There is a buyers guide on here somewhere which would be useful as a intro

There's mention of the roof motor being on the way out - that's at least £500 so I'd look to settle on £4K because in all other respects I'm with mr wilks

Its a classic looking z4, common but still looks great
