Z3 Buying Advice
Discussion
A mate of mine is currently on the hunt for a Z3 to replace his Mondeo ... However like many of us, myself included, it is difficult to view a second hand car that fits the bill without wearing those rose-tinted glasses. He won't post on here and will most likely purchase any old Z3, which could be the beginnings of financial suicide! So can anyone help out on the following points?
1) Is the 2.2 a worthy upgrade on the 1.9?
2) Are there any common faults with the Z3 to watch out for?
3) Any faults that could be very expensive to repair?
4) How much would you budget per year for repairs and maintainance?
5) What is the 0-60 time of the 2.2 Z3?
Any information is much appreciated!
Cheers!

Cheers for the advice - I'll pass it on! Unfortunately I found out his budget yesterday, which is £3K, nowhere near enough for a 2.2 or Z3 of anykind! Entry prices seem to be about £4.5K, but whether they are riddled with problems or not I don't know ...
To coin the usual PH recommendation...... he better start looking at MX-5's!
