Sounds like most Z4s only last a year or so before the owners pass them on! Just purchased my 2007 Z4M last weekend, it has only done 35k in those years but had 5 owners who all must have cherished it as it's in pretty good nick.

So far I am loving it but the weather, arrrrr.... Anyway luckily for me I have a garage for her whilst driving around in the wet stuff in my Landrover Discovery 3 or quick Seat Exeo.

What amazed me was the insurance bill, I have 0% no claims for it as it was a 3rd car but maybe it's my age as it's just £350 fully comp with Direct Line. Then I also have a modified very quick GSX1400 and that's just £85. The dam road tax is more.

Anyway fully aware of the more expensive parts of ownership, such as MPG, inspec 2, road tax, tyres... My gut feeling is that I will own this car for more than 12 months!

Hope to meet some of you for a cruise sometime....

Welcome Martyn, got my Z4 a little over a month ago and loving it. We don't have all the crazy taxes here in the states but still my 07 only had 68k. Anyway, welcome to the site and enjoy your new ride.

Teens for the welcome. Tax! Unfortunately for my Z4M it's £480 pa. For my other cars even the huge 2x the weight of the Zed Landrover it's a lot less.
 
Yeah,,,, always thought they were bad here but listening and talking on here has opened my eyes a bunch. Everything here is based on the age of the car, the older the cheaper, and nothing about mods.... road taxes are figured into the price of gas etc etc...

So road tax is factored into the price of fuel, yet fuel in america is a lot cheaper than ours! Hate this country!!
The road tax for my car is equivalent to 821 US Dollars to be paid every year! F***ing ridiculous.
