Going to look at a Z4 3.0 tomorrow as I fancy a lazy automatic open top for summer and maybe longer. Like the looks, the hard top and the interior. Have had Boxsters in the past so know its not a handling sensation but, as I said, just want to cruise.

Happy to spend around £30k so wondered if there is anything else I should consider. 2 seats only needed but would consider 4.

The Z4 is quite hard riding - not really a cruiser. The SLK or SL would be a better cruiser; even the Boxster is a better cruiser than the Z4, in my experience.

I'm sure you could get an S5 Cab for £30k, rather than an S4?

ETA - yes, and it's the 3.0 T too, not the 4.2

Yes, of course, I forgot the A5/S5, more odd given I've been hankering after one of late biggrin

None of the suggestions to date are even remotely wafty.

This is the ultimate in waftiness:

I was going to suggest this. Despite being potentially more expensive to run, it will hold its value better (than anything German!)
