An older Z4 yes or no ? things I should look for please

[srdtvr]

Sorry if this is an old tired question but looking at options for my next daily driver and
the Z4 is a possibility
Only got £4 to 5k max so it will probably be older and with higher mileage
is the 2.5 OK or is the 3.0 any better ?

what things go wrong or what weaknesses should I be a aware of ?
Thanks

Thanks for your replies
Love your Z4 RESSE
If I could get one like that I'd be happy !!

thanks for all your replies
seen a couple I'm interested in but one has the Auto box with tiptronic option - is that worth considering ?
was going for the 6 speed manual but this car looks pretty good - what do you think ?
Cheers

Just looked at a really nice 3 litre manual Z4
Local to me up for 5k 72000 miles good history
I liked it but there's a slight oil leak on the
Left side of the engine - can't see where its actually
Coming from but it must be getting on the
Exhaust manifold as you can smell it
Anyone got any experience of a similar
Problem ? The seller assures me
Its not serious but he would !
The reg number is EG03 XYL anyone
Know this car from Northwood Middlesex
Cheers
Steve

Usually rocker cover gasket, 50£ for the gasket set, just hope the plastic rocker cover is not warped.

I thought it could be that.

I think they are M3 CSL alloys?

I was after a Honda S2000 but found the Z4 on gumtree and had to have it. Wheels/colour/red leather etc!

Although I am new to Z ownership I would recommend them (especially the 6 cylinder models) - great fun and I think they look better now than when they were launched.
