BMW Z4 thread

High price, pointlessly low mileage. Spend £3k less on a 2003 with 40k on it.

Buy on condition and history is the key with any car. Seems like a good one, but I would push to get £1500 off. It has a Warranty and low mileage and I think low mileage is worth paying a little more for.

Cheers, any big bills due at that age ?

Liked the look of Headrats - where's he gone ?

I dont think I'd want a car thats hardly been driven, especially not for a considerable premium.

wow - that's good, what about a 3.0 coupe ? Hadn't really considered the coupe but that could be another option..

To answer someone before I did think seriously about a 350z / Audi tt QS / S2000 / Z4 before I got the scoob. Z4 is fave at the moment..

3.0Si Coupes are going for the same sort of price as the M, you need about £25k for a decent one. The M is a lot more hardcore though and comes with significantly bigger bills so it depends what you want in the long run. It is the opinion of many that the 3.0Si is a better everyday car whereas the M is a better weekend toy.

Noticed that one has the sports seats though - nice..

I much prefer the interior of the 06 car over the 03, the darker plastics are much nicer and the wheel is huge improvement. Are these easily swapped ?

..I know this sounds crazy but modding cars this way is my bag

Thanks for all the info though everyone and sorry for all the questions..great to have access to all your knowledge

If you like modding, ESS do a supercharger kit for the 3.0i and I believe they are developing one for the 3.0Si

They're also developing one for the Z4M...should be interesting!

Not for a 987 Boxster S, which is what I was comparing it to.

Fair enough, you should have said so.

You just said Boxster S and the 986 comes in an S

Then stop being a pedant after someone has clarified their point, its both tiresome and sad.

So you get to be rude, insulting and more patronising?

I'm not being pedantic, I pointed out that you'd misinformed the OP about the cost of a Boxster S by a considerable margin and all you can do is have a go at me.

Thanks.
