Viewing a Z4C tomorrow

[p4cks]

Hi chaps. I'm looking at a Z4 Coupe Sport tomorrow and was wondering if there was anything to look out for in particular with these cars. I have searched here and found quite a bit of info on why people buy them, but not specifically what to look out for when buying one. The only potential problem I could find were rear springs(?)

The one I am looking at is quite a high miler and has averaged about 20k miles p.a. since new. It has been owned by one owner who has had it serviced every 6-8 months (as you would expect) at his local BMW garage and has been described as excellent condition and not in a condition which reflects the mileage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Z4 Forum is probably where you want to ask.

There's even a Buyer's Guide compiled by one of the members.

Just the usual checks you'd make with any car really, other than the rear springs which you already know about. Depending on milage the suspension bushes might need replacement, probably around the 60-70k miles.
Fantastic cars though, I've had mine for 3 months now, replacing an E46 M3. Much more relaxing to drive and not much difference in pace.

Z4 forum is the place to go.

Condensation in the front fog lights. Not the end of the world but the seals are known to wear.

Cheers guys. They seem pretty bomb proof (touch wood)
