Picking it up this Saturday!

Hi all,

I've been visiting this forum religiously everyday to learn as much as possible about the Z4 and to be able to make a more informed decision on buying one....or not. I'll take the chance to thank you all for sharing all this information!

I've now taken the plunge and put a deposit on a 2007 2.0i Sport Roadster. I know, I know, 2.0...but it's my first sports car, well, it isn't, it's my first sports car in 15 years, so I wanted to go easy to start with. Plus it's gonna be a daily driver so I need the lower MPG.
It has 97k miles on the clock, and I will be paying £3800 for it. Big service in March, MOT for 12 months, Full service history, not BMW though (just the first two services) and 3 months warranty. The car is mint inside, with just a little, barely visible scuff on the rear bumper. Roof works perfectly and test drive, even though limited, didn`t raise any flags.
Give me your honest opinion if you think this might be a good deal. Truth is, with the same age/mile/condition ratio, there was only a couple of slightly better deals but these were 300 miles away from me. Plus, I absolutely loved the outside colour, interior and wheels combination on this one.
Please let me know if you think I'm going for a good deal, and if by any chance you've seen this car around, (or you've owned it, lol) let me know any past history you might be aware of. Checked previous MOT history and again didn't raise any red flags.
I've added a couple of pictures below, please feel free to comment!
 
Sounds like you love it already. So if there are no reasons why not, then it has to be a good deal for you. :lol:
Welcome aboard.
 
Silver grey...my favourite. Looks like its had a headlight conversion though as im pretty sure those lights are not standard.
 
Needs spacers.

Get -the rear suspension checked as it looks really high although it might just be the angle of the picture.

Ok for a cut n shut! :poke: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

I can't really comment on the deal you've got, but if you are happy with it that's what counts! And it sounds like you can't wait for Saturday to come, so I'd recommend going home the long way! :driving:
 
Smart looking car. Hope it matches up to your expectations. Welcome to the Forum. :D
 
Thanks everybody! I feel welcomed already! I have a few questions to ask, but I'll leave it for after i get the car, as I'm sure more will come to my mind!
In the meantime, could anyone point me to where I can download the owner's manual for this model in particular?
 
Hopefully you'll find it on here:- https://www.bmwsections.com/docs/z4/

Questions are always welcome - there is usually someone on here who knows the answer! That's what makes this forum so helpful. :thumbsup:
 
I bet you can’t wait, let’s hope the weather is good,,
Sounds like you love it, and that is all that matters, if it puts a smile on your face, worth every penny

I always thought the smaller engine variants got the black inners and the 3 litres and xenon equipped cars got the silver inners as a differentiator? Shame really, as I'd prefer black inners on mine.
 
Hi and welcome.

One dark night to go! Hope you have already plotted the longest possible way home from collecting it. :)

Enjoy :driving:
