How much should I pay for a Z4?
How much should I pay for a Z4?
I had a look on autotrader the other evening, and I agree that 3L manuals are in short supply at the moment. I'd wait if you can. £4500 will buy you a decent pre facelift with reasonably low miles. I paid exactly that for mine in Feb this year with 74K (fully loaded spec) and it is very good condition both cosmetically and mechanically. I would sell mine for £4K - except it's not for sale.

I actually saw one today EX05 TWV. White and a weird brown type roof? I was a bit puzzled myself but it was an 05 and it had the old style rear lights.earthdweller wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 11:26 am
I thought they weren’t available in the uk initially .., is that chart just for uk sales and pre-post facelift ?

Take your time and wait for the right car. Remember these cars are up to 14 years old now and they can go wrong. When they go wrong they can cost big money. One thread in the forum concerning the upper steering column costing £2500 ! . But many owners will say their own cars have been very reliable. So you will need to have a contingency fund for the car if a repair is needed so do not over extend your budget. Try cargurus for searching for cars.

Damn, that's a great looking car. Very tempted to up the budget and go for a more recent coupe.
Hah, yea I've got the impression people aren't so fond of the white goods look. I'm clearly in the minority in thinking it really suits the car.
You lot are a bad influence, started out looking at the cheap 2.5's before being upping the budget for an early 3.0. I'm going to end up with a massive loan and an M at this rate!earthdweller wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:31 am IMO if you can stretch to a facelift car then its well worth it for the N52 3.0 engine, which is said to be one of the best engines ever made !
The Si is like an M car lite with 265bhp
Is there much of a performance increase?
Also, I've got the impression the earlier engine is the more reliable of the two. Can't remember where I read it - am I wrong about this?
Great advice. I was looking at an early Boxter / Cayman S but the ruinous costs involved when something went wrong put me off. Z4 seems to have a reputation for reliability, though as you say they are 10+-year-old cars so they will need stuff doing.raymond.harper wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 1:35 pm Take your time and wait for the right car.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Having an active, friendly and knowledgeable community is another great reason to go for the Z4

I'd say the later engine is at least as reliable. They both have common issues but none are that serious.
