Newbie. Buying a 2006 BMW Z4 · 30i Roadster 2D . 147,000

[Enosearrabelli]

Hey ,

Not an expert here, just a student who loves BMWs and requesting exports of this group for feedback

I found this Marketplace listing and wanted your take on whether it’s a decent deal or a total trap:

Seller description:

2006 BMW Z4 · 30i Roadster 2D . 147,000 miles

“
I am selling a BMW z4, 30i engine, it is a convertible, special for the summer season, it has new tires, the oil has been freshly changed, there are no leaks, there are absolutely no problems, it is very clean inside and out, I offer a clean title in hand, payment is made in cash only. “


Honestly, if it runs for a year I’ll be happy, then I’ll scrap it or trade up.

Photos & carfax report are attached. Please roast me and tell me what looks sketchy. I’m test driving it tomorrow, what should I pay attention to and what should be an immediate “walk away”?

Thanks!

Check the roof is smooth in operation. Notchy steering run away. General condition. Does it look cared for or abused? Anyway welcome to the board.

Looks to have quite a few scrapes and scuffs.
Needs a new bonnet badge too.
No heated seats and not sure on the colour combo. (Purely my preference).
Those front brake calipers look oversized and non standard as well.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Nice in white, check the headlights work and there are no lights for them on the dash as they are after market ones. Also make sure that the airbag light comes on and turns off. Someone on here found it had been taped over as it was always on.
