If you are after a Specific car - then you should be prepared to travel.
The last 6 cars I have bought have all be down in deepest Englandshire.
I live in Edinburgh.
The Z4c I bought in April was just south of Birmingham. Train down, taxi and then a nice wee drive home - the best way you will ever get to know your new car.
(Furtherest away was Southampton)
my 2p worth

I'm afraid not, has to be a black car sorry not a fan of silver / grey.
The car I was referring to is the one for sale at BMW Chiswick (less than a mile from me) but the car originated from Edinburgh..

Maintanance £250?
I'd have thought it would be a fair bit more than that for servicing, tyres and repairs each year.
I've had my Z4M for about 2 months, now.
£253 on 6 months tax
£54 on MOT
£750 on tyres
£150 on various upgrades
Service will be due in 3,000 miles... £?

Thanks for the input Dan, my maintenance figure was taken from the halfords site estimation. You're right an M would definitely be more. I hadnt considered tyres though you're right. What is the life expectancy of the run flats? I've never had to change more than 1 tyre on any one of my 5 cars in my 8 years of driving..
Ok so front tyres on average are £254 a pair every 4-5 years for me
Rear tyres on average are £300 a pair every 2-3 years which means
A yearly value of £184 should be allocated to tyres bringing maintenance to £444 per annum for a 3.0 sport..
Also looking back at my calculations I cant really see what I'd spend £250 per annum on upgrades for anymore..

I've decided to flog the E24 on ebay in January after its MOT'd and taxed so I will be looking for my perfect z as of then..

Good luck with your search bluestreak.Hope you have more luck than I am having with mine so far.
Been looking for just under 2 months, in that time I've found 2 cars spec worthy to tempt me but bother were overpriced in my opinion and not 100% what I wanted.. so the search continues.. I will keep an eye out for you too

They have offered me a p/x for my BMW which isnt too bad..
Thoughts? I was thinking £12k minus the p/x on my BMW
