Hi all,
Joined the forum and already gained a lot of knowledge from it before my imminent Z4 purchase. Actively looking....2.5si preferably but keeping an open mind as all engine options seem to get good reviews.
Looking forward to getting involved!
Cheers
Mike :)
 
Yes, welcome to the forum Mike. :thumbsup:

I hope you find one you like soon, because then you can post photos! :lol:
 
Welcome to the forum mike, the facelift 2.5si is a pretty rapid car but the 3litre is gruntier with virtually the same economy-have you considered the 3.0si? :?

Good advice.

3.0si were generally better spec'd from the factory as well. Xenon headlights are worth having, for example, and are not as common on the 2.5si.

There is not a lot of difference between the two engines on the road, so I would consider both, up until the point at which you start going to see individual examples.
 
Thanks for all the welcome messages and advice! Probably a good time of the year to buy one but not so many about for sale......
 
I purchased a 23i earlier in 2017 and have loved every minute of it. Had a 1000 mile trip to Yorkshire and back in September and found it comfortable and surprisingly frugal on fuel.
Not sure where you are but James Paul in Sussex have an 09 23i for sale with only 31k miles on the clock, or if you really want something different they also have an Alpina 3.4 s z4 in hell red for sale. You may have to be quick on that one as I am seriously thinking of trading up, the Alpina does it for me.
 
I have left a deposit on a 2.5si Sport ‘06....looks a good genuine car with no apparent issues. As soon as it is in my possession I will put up some pics!
Cheers all!! :D
 
Welcome to the forum and best of luck with your search!

Post some pictures when you will get yours :)
 
Welcome, Mike! I went for the 3.0i and haven't looked back. Good luck finding the right one for you!
