Z4MC

[Charlie Michael]

I've booked myself in for a test drive of a Z4MC on Thursday. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have on them a list of places to check over the car to ensure it's not got any hidden/common problems? I've completed a HPI check and that came back all clear. Had a good look at it on the dealer forecourt, all looks good in that respect aswell.

It's done 75,000 miles according to the advert, 3 owners, Monaco Blue and is a 56 reg.

Cheers,

Chris.

Here's a general list & buyer's guide from Z4-Forum.com

Only thing I'd add on a coupe is to check there's no surface corrosion on the underside of hatch.

Thanks alot for that. I'll print them off and take it with me.

Well, the car is now mine . I feel like a big kid with all the excitment. Car gets picked up next Wednesday.

Going from a Focus to a Z4M was a big jump, the performance is mental. The clutch takes some getting used to aswell, very sharp biting point meant I was kangerooing it a bit.

Congratulations Charlie and welcome to the club.

Take it easy at first as they can really take some getting used to. Don't expect razor sharp handling like a Cayman, but do expect a car that will demand that you take it by the scruff and drive it. Welcome to the old school.

Enjoy.

Looking forward to learning everything I can about her. The steering is very precise, the engine note is to die for and The interior is very well put together.

I'll be taking her easy for a while, learn her limits at my own pace. Then the fun can start. Initial plans are to keep her as BMW intended.
