Z4 3.0 - Any good?

[toastboy]

I've been looking at these on the BMW website and was really surprised to see quite a few between 12 and 15k which makes them very tempting.

I know they would have the same engine as my 330ci Sport which apart from liking a drop of oil has done 108k miles fault free.

As it's lighter, I presume it would be a little quicker than the 330? Would the ride be much different?

Has anyone got any advice on buying one? Which options to take etc?

Has to be a Sport!

That'd be nice but they start at £19k. I've really got a max budget of £15k.

I don't think that's a sport. On the BMW website all Sports are 2006 onwards.

Also I would want a manual gearbox.

No, Sports started a lot earlier than that. I had an 03 one if my memory serves me right.

Hmmm, now I'm confused. Looking at the BMW AUC site, everything before 2006 is an SE but those do come with M Sport suspension as standard. Any ideas?
