Hi, so after a long time decided to take the plunge with a Z4. Be great to hear any tips and advice. What should you look for when spending around £6-8k mark? Thanks for the advice in advance! :D
 
Welcome aboard Jackoz. :) Some solid 3ltr E85's out there for your budget. Worth a look. :thumbsup:
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

Possibly depends what you want really. The E85s are a bit more raw, the E89s a bit more of a GT. E85s have a hood, E89s have a folding metal roof.

Your budget should get you a really good E85 3.0Si which is probably the best regular E85 model, so not including the Alpina or M which would be out of budget anyway!

Fixed for you Iain. No charge! :thumbsup:

That's better. :P

No idea what you mean. I don't own a Honda. In fact at this moment in time, I don't own a car at all! :lol:

Maybe not, but your signature contains a clue and in another thread you admit to having one for 4 months and 2 days. I've never had one and will never want one. :bmwvhonda:

Apologies for getting slightly off-track jacko. :lol:

That price puts you into good examples of the first generation Z4 the E85 with quite a broad choice..or it takes you into second generation E89s..probably only 23i models at that price..but quite a few on the market so should be able to get a good un..

Rag top vs moveable tin top..likley to have the same engine the N52 ..E85s at the price will 2.5 or 3.0 litre..on E89s only the 2.5 litre..
 
Well gone and done it! Pick up next week and absolutely love it! What a sound and great to drive
