New Member - looking to buy Z4M...!

[Psy]

Afternoon all!

I'm currently an e46 'vert owner, but have decided it's time to finally go for the car I've always wanted - a Z4 roadster in //M-flavour.

(That and the garage at my new place is just too tight to be comfortable for the fat e46, so a smaller Z4 will be easier to get in and out of!)

Does anyone have any tips/advice about looking for a Z4M and the Z4 generally- anything I should avoid and really watch out for?

I'd like to get one with as many toys as possible (aftermarket sat nav is just a hassle with wires everywhere) and have a budget of ~£18k.
Ideally Imola red or Interlagos blue, but a good deal in another colour is always a good deal...

All input would be appreciated.

(I've put some pics of my e46 'vert in my intro post in the newbies forum)

Thanks in advance and best,
Si

If it's width you've got a problem with, then you might want to know that the e85 Z4M is as wide as an e46 you know.

e46

• Length: 4490 mm (176.8 in)
• Width: 1780 mm (70.1 in)
• Height: 1370 mm (53.9 in)

e85

• Length: 4113 mm (161.9 in)
• Width: 1781 mm (70.1 in)
• Height: 1302 mm (51.3 in)

Ha - would you believe I was just looking at yours! Love the blue...
I might get back to you on that Anthony - where are you based?

Thanks five - for all I call the e46 'fat', it's really the length that's tight, so the e85 would sit well...
