Hey all, so I've been on the hunt for a Z4MC and I think I've found one.....

I'll be seeing the car soon and I just wanted to know what I should look out for.

Naturally I'm very excited about the car, so don't want that to get the better of me and cloud my judgement and potentially overlook some important factors.

Basically, are there any common things about the Z4MC that tend to go wrong, for e.g. the Porches Caymans tend to have Rear Main Seal leakages etc....

Finally; what are the service schedules for the Z4MC, milage/~costs etc? or alternatively where can I go about finding this information?

Cheers guys, cant wait to be a part of the the exclusive club.

//M may have some specific issues but generally all cars are solid . Main things are service history (especially running in service for the //M)
rear springs snap etc. Good luck with the search.

Thanks bud. Very extensively written.

Check for rust on the inside of the tailgate. Water collects at the bottom and as a result we've seen a few go rusty.

Hi welcome! On turning the engine off there is sometimes a rattle which is normal. If you press the clutch and turn the engine off this rattle should not be there..
