Thanks.

I've almost decided to just go buy a Z4 from a main dealer this year - a 2009/2010 probably.

But I'm totally confused by the trim levels.

Does anyone know what's the real difference please?

I'm open to looking at anything really. Can you tell me more please?

I'm out. Outside my range I'm afraid.

Still looking!

Not sure if you've found your ideal car yet? But I'm now selling mine. It's a z3 3.0 54000 miles fully serviced with factory ac schnitzer package. All the extras. Wind breaker. Hard top, tonneau cover. Car cover ac wheels originals not dodgy copy ones. If you're interested email me on antanderton@v...

Jcc

Does anyone have any thoughts please?

Jcc

Couple of quick questions please!:

1. Is it necessary or desirable to garage a Z4? If not what would you recommend to do to keep it in good shape?
2. Does anyone know the typical price/mileage of an inspection 2 service please? (Looking at a car that may need one soonish!)

Jcc

Thanks for the heads up, but was an insurance cat c/d which I'd rather avoid.

Thank you I'm investigating!

Jcc

Okay thanks folks so in an ultra low mileage car we want to see an oil service 2 yearly as a minimum?

Jcc

Any thoughts from anyone?

Jcc

I don't think I'm looking for full main dealer service but some of the ones I've seen have had every Tom, Dick and Harry have a pop at servicing them as and when! I guess it'll be a balance ultimately; cost vs quality!

BeemerBoyo wrote:Thats a great Z3. At that price even if you have to spend a grand on it its still a good price. Its in Northern Ireland so some time and cost to retrieve the car. Maybe a bargaining point? Offer £3500 cash.

Would the lack of service history not worry you?

Thanks for this. Looks nice but part service history makes me a bit nervous!

Jcc

I've done a bit of searching on here but can't find any absolute truths about servicing intervals on the Z4s. I've passed up a couple now on the basis of fairly sparse service histories: 10 year old cars with a service every 17k miles but 3 year gaps between services - my assumption being that the o...

Bit of a clanger really on that front. Missed out on a 2006 3.0 si the other day. Price was right and I was ready to put the deposit down but they needed me to travel to the Midlands the following day which I just couldn't do.

Jcc

That is lovely. Quite tempting but I think I prefer the Z4 on balance and although I do like the Z3, I'd really struggle to justify spending £6k on a Z3/Z4 with that mileage. I'm not saying it's not worth it. (But I think I'm quite tight!)

Jcc

Thanks. I've been looking at these guys - but their prices just seem a bit too high. I think if I don't have any joy in a month or so I may venture up there!

Jcc

Still looking! ;) That's possibly because you're not sure what you're looking for. But you'll know when you see it :) I do, I do! Looking for a 3.0, 2.5si or 3.0si Z4. Sub 70k miles. Full service history. Small number of owners ideally. Ideally a sport but will consider an SE. Ideally without wood ...

The one in Fforestfach as per my message That's Swansea.

Showing my Welsh ignorance! [emoji12]

Jcc

Any thoughts on this one please? Lowish mileage, well serviced - what's not to like for around £3k+. How much money can you lose on a car like that - very little risk. I'd get those wheels returned to silver though! :D Thanks for this. I just wonder if I should go £5-6k and go lower mileage etc.?

Jcc

These are all Z3s - but I was beginning to lean towards the Z4 - am I missing some benefits to the Z3 though? Just personal taste. I don't like Z4s. I like Z3s. I like classic, affordable, maintainable British sports cars and the irony in my head is that a Z3 fits that bill seeing as our own motor ...

I might have to swing by and have a look at this at the weekend. I live in Swansea half the week and my mate is after a Z3 or a Z4 as his main car. As he's used to a 5 Series I'm inclined to steer him towards a Z4 much that my interest is Z3s. I'm intrigued this seller has his postcode as Fforestfa...

Jcc

A 2.2 sport, a 2.8 or 3.0 (what about the 2.5?) - with sub 80k and FSH would be ideal!

Jcc

I suppose I mean honest and loved!

Any thoughts on this one please?

Jcc

Blimey. That's special! Arguably a bit too special for me.

Money is probably more than I can really justify and I don't think I have enough self control/time to treat that car as well as it ought to be treated to retain the condition/value! I'd be scared to drive it anywhere too.

Hello I'm looking for a low mileage, full service history car with A/C and heated seats. Prefer a dark interior ideally with dark carpets. Semi flexible about paint colour but black/blue/silver preferred. Engine wise I'd like a 6 Cyl - ideally a fast one! Other than that I'll open minded. Anyone got...

Jcc

Thanks - Yours sounds nice! I'm after a low number of previous owners, ideally BMW / specialist serviced one - ideally ready to go - but don't mind a few simple tasks!

Jcc

Thanks. This advice is great! Is there an easy way to see if it has heated seats from the picture; is there a dash button or do the seats look different somehow? Thanks again for the steer.

Just do your research. Look on piston heads, eBay and auto trader. You may find the same car advertised in several places. I purchased my Z3 from a guy down in Swansea called GB cars. He has a nice Z4 for sale at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272303280852 He tends to sell high quality cars. ...

Do you have any advice on good dealers or ways of finding a good example? Lots around but lots of unloved money pits I expect!

Currently tending toward a 6 cyl - rather than a 1.8/1.9

Jcc

Hello

Currently researching my options around a Z3 or Z4 - so will likely be doing lots of reading on here, I'm sure. Lots of info!

Any (all) recommendations on what to choose will be very gratefully received!

Cheers
