There have been a couple of threads about Z4 3.0 buying tips recently, give the search a go, you should find everything you need.

I have a 2005 model with only 8k on the clock for sale. If you want any details let me know.

I've had mine now for 4 years and it's been hassle free. I don't do huge mileage so it's only needed one service which was £300, incl brake fluid change. Finally changed from run-flats too, which is worthwhile.

I'd recomment going for as high spec one as you can find, esp with the sports seats, as the other's don't offer enough lateral support imho. Colour affects resale value apparently, best prices for black, silver, graphite I believe.

Only 'issue' I've heard of is rear springs breaking.

Enjoy

I have a 3.0 2004 model, love it to bits.
Go for as much spec as you can as they keep valve the longest.
Have a look on http://www.z4-forum.com/ the guys on there gave me loads of help.
