Hey Everyone

I recently joined as I'm currently looking to buy a Z4.

Tomorrow I am going to view a 2004 2.5L Z4 which has covered 50,300 miles which has full BMW service history etc, and has just been serviced by BMW.

It's at Saab garage and I think it was a trade in.

My question is what should I be looking for when checking the paperwork..? What should have been done and when?

Any info would be much appreciated :thumbsup:
 
Hi and welcome, check out Alanj's Buyers check list :thumbsup:

Thanks Redzedfour thats a very useful link!

Is there a link to a service schedule?

e.g. at 40,000 the belts should be changed etc.. thats what I really would like to know.

As my only concern is why would you trade a car in straight after a service which is in as good condition as this one?
 
M54 engines have chains as opposed to belts, so don't need changing :thumbsup:

If you can afford the insurance look for a 3.0 as they come with a lot more kit as std ,plus a six speed box.As soon as you have got used to the 2.5 you will have wished you had bought a 3.0.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Just a few more questions... what's the difference between the standard sound system and the Symphony pack? as it has it fitted.

Also, did all of the 2.5L have a limited slip diff. fitted as standard?

I want to do a few checks on the car, to check mileage is accurate outstanding finance etc.. Who is the best to use..?

Thanks again
 
There isn't a Symphony pack so I suspect you are reading a poorly researched advert. There are a couple of hifi upgrade options, 10 speakers and an amp.

Only the Z4M has a limited slip diff fitted, the rest are open diffs.
 
Thanks for the information, only going on the what I was told by the man at the garage. Apparently it was the garage owners wife's car for the past 4 years.

Checking the advert it states "premium sound system", I was told it was the symphony pack.

So it doesn't have have a limited slip diff, not the end of the world but might give me room for a haggle on the price :wink:
