Welcome!
Been looking myself for a while and I've worked out a few pointers. Worthwhile mods include a manual gearbox, sat nav, cruise control, heated seats, the 10 speaker system and 18-inch alloys. There's a nice silver/grey 06 plate Z4R on on here that's within your budget - looks immaculate. Failing that, for 10k you could probably get the newer shape Z4 or an older one with pretty low mileage.
If you find a car, it's worth making sure the roof motor is working properly (seems to be a fairly common fault) and the springs are good, as that seems to be another thing to go wrong. Apart from that, happy hunting!

with a similar budget we bought a 5yr old 2.0 for £9.5k at <40.000 miles
If I was doing it again I would save a few grand and get a higher mileage
engines are a personal choice, the 2.0 is quick enough for us.

I have a beautiful car for sale well below your budget if your interested
1066 Country
Well, try the 4 pot then have a blast in one of the best 6 cylinders ever made... there's not too much difference in fuel economy but with that money should be able to now secure a facelift <06 , though I like the retro lights hence ended up with a late 05 plate... Look for M sport seats, deffo a good point & normally come HEATED!!!
Happy hunting

Firstly, welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place 
Personal must haves for me:
- Hi-Fi / upgraded 10 speaker stereo - I love my music. Makes music a pleasure to listen to, even with roof down at 70mph
- Xenon headlights, great deal better than halogen
- Heated seats, keeps you warm with roof down
- 3.0 engine. I love power
Good luck, happy hunting!

Heated seats are a must in a convertible. In my opinion. Nothing beats some warmth on your back on a cold cold day.
As said by some already, look at the roof.
Also look at the handbrake to make sure it engages without too much difficulty.
Good luck!
