You over 60k miles?

Looks pretty nice, though the wheels need cleaning, black on black doesn't really work outside of Lamborghini. 
Nope, it was under, assuming you mean my old one. I was paying 87 pm a month for a bit for comp with £100 excess and emergency service.

A couple of questions for those that have claimed under the BMW extended warranty:
- If an issue appears to be fixed, but returns within a few days - is this dealt with under the original claim or in a second excess payment required
- If two issues are reported together, does this count as one "claim" with one excess payment

w00t looks what I've got. Wanted to replace my wife's old banger with something I could also use on good day to go to the office... Pretty good nick, 60k on the clock, 2.8i engine. Well chuffed!

@BusError the 2.8 are going up in value! Good, probably won't loose any money on it.

Yeah I know, they are JUST at the time where they aren't considered 'classic cars' and are sufficiently modern to be nice to drive -- while still being 'small'. Personally I don't really want to drive without ABS and so on these days (especially with my wife driving it most of the time!). I paid £4200 for it, I expected to pay a bit more, so I can also spend some money into making it as nice as I can...

Sounded like a lot to me too. Having now looked on AT it looks like that's at the top end of what they go for so I'm sure it's a nice example.
hold on i thought 4k on a z4 was the bottom of the barrel stuff ?
'Almost'
It's a completely different scenario to the other thread, this guy is specifically into older BMW convertibles.

Yeah this one is top notch; also the z3 is considerably smaller than the z4, and my wife didn't like the size. Z3 is nice and nimble.
Indeed, my 3.0 Z4 was only a few hundred more, although mileage is significantly higher at 100k. A fair few stone chips and the like, sound mechanically though, so maybe I got lucky?
Did also buy it in late winter so the weather may well have an impact!
That said, the Z3 wasn't for me, feels smaller inside and when you're 6 foot that isn't a good thing!

It's only 6cm shorter
Is there a reason you didn't at least go for a 3.0 Z3?
Harder to find really, and thus higher prices. Mrs wanted something she like as well, and the combo oxford green/coffee/wood definitely ticked her boxes... Personally I would have loved 3.0 and sport seats, but technically it'll be her car, and I'll be able to borrow it
