Noob looking for Z4

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is allowed, a member without a Z4 :oops: , but i'm exclusively looking for Z4's at the moment and was after a bit of advice.

I almost bought one at the weekend from a BMW dealership but it had gone by the time i got there :x . Now i've had a couple of problems buying private before as the last two cars had some costly faults.

However would i be right in thinking that its not so much of an issue buying a Z4 second hand as its most likely going to be well kept and more of a 2nd car. Is there anything I should particularly look out for when viewing one?

Also not in a big rush to buy one so are the prices likely to dramatically decrease in Sept with the dealerships and auto trader flooded with them or do people usually wait till the start of next summer to sell them.

Cheers guys and can't wait to join you all with a Z4 :D
 
hi and welcome, you don't have to own to be a member but i'm sure it would eventually crack you up :)

what age/price are you looking at

go for the coupe, no problems with roof motors, also check out rear springs, they have a habit of breaking

good luck
 
Cheers guys, the coupe is out of my price range.

Looking for a 2003-2005 2.0 or 2.5 with a budget of upto £12000.

Taz how would i check out the rear springs? Also will the prices drop much in Sept do you know?
 
I bought my 2004 3.0 with a broken spring
Drive over a pothole and it sounds like a bag of spanners being dropped
 
Hi & Welcome :thumbsup:

Traditionally all soft tops drop in price slightly over the winter months, but it does tend to be in the sort of December to March periods
 
Cheers Rusty, dont want to wait that long so will bite the bullet whist i can still enjoy some sunshine.

Are you sure you can't stretch you budget :wink:

Looks like a top car but £12k is a push for me, sure you can't drop your asking :P .
 
I found one, didn't take me long :P

Have a slight problem with the purchase as he wants to keep his private plate, more details are in the thread below if you can help.

oooh, nice choice! I just got one myself, ended up with a 3.0 but when I started looking it was at 2.5's, I did consider a similar one in that same colour combination with a similar spec/price...

Enjoy it! :)
