Looking to buy

[mikenico]

Hi set my mind that I will be buying a Z4 in the very near future, I would prefer a 6 pot and my budget will be about 4k ish, which is the best model to buy.

3.0 pre-facelift should be doable with that budget and is what I would (and did) go for! Should be able to get a good example with around 80k miles.

Preface lift 2.5 and 3.0 are both silky smooth six pots and should be available within your budget..
Welcome on board.

If you can stomach the miles a Si for your budget would be a great way into a straight 6 Z.
The earlier cars are fine but even with 100k + covered the 262bhp N52 would be my choice

Hi and welcome aboard.

For your budget it'll need to be a Roadster (E85).

It may depend a bit what you are used to, but I doubt you'd be disappointed with any 2.5 or 3.0 litre whether it's a facelift or pre-facelift.

The best option would be a try a few first if possible. Just look out for one with heated seats!

Worth going a bit over budget for

Welcome to the forum and by the way , there is nothing wrong with the early E85. These are fantastic cars and don't come with the dodgy water pump. They are plenty quick enough too.
Where do you live, as you may be able to get a ride and look around a local forum members car.
Tip..
If you can bag an early car with a wood dashboard, you are on to a winner
