Want to test drive BMW Z4 (2013) In Edgware but can’t pretend to know what to check/look for and want to make sure I’m getting good deal.

Anyone in area able to a help a damsel in distress? Happy to cover cost of travel/time.

I’m sure there are plenty Knights with shining armor , but have you considered a reputable BMW specialist inspecting? Costs can be reasonable. A good seller, shouldn’t mind.
There’s a list of specialists on this site.

Well, first off welcome to the madhouse. thumbup

As a Z4 owner you might get more specific advice if you asked your question on here:- https://z4-forum.com/forum/search.php?search_id=ne...

And say which model you are looking at, i.e. 18i, 20i, etc.

For Z4's, check the roof works as the micro switches fail on the load cover, check the brakes, for some reason they corrode on the inside face and usually leave the outside 10mm on the front face of the disc to corrode.
