Hi all, been lurking for a little while so I could read the buyers guide etc.
Took the plunge on Saturday and bought myself a 2003 Z4 3.0l fully loaded with sat nav, xenons, electric memory seats etc etc. Wanted to buy a 2004 onwards one but this one was in very good condition has low mileage and had its roof motor replaced by BMW last year, got it booked in for inspection 2 and a full car check with BMW on Thursday but it runs a treat and does have full service history up until 2 years ago where it has pretty much sat as its only done 1.5k miles in the last 2 years.
All seems to be working well and got it for a very good price so cant complain, been using dash command to check that everything is working (mainly the coolant system and fans) and all seems good.
Having gone from a 2007 RX8 231 everything seems so much more reasonable ie fuel and tax. Very different cars, I must say the Z4 is a lot more twitchy that the 8 but I guess that's mostly down to the run flats on it.
I have a cable and NCS Expert coming for it so that I can program a few things like comfort opening and closure, I should be fine with this as I work in IT but does anyone know if the 2003 one is actually capable of this?
Don't have any good pics at the moment but here is a rubbish phone pic I took quickly yesterday:
