Looking for a Z4......advice please

[madasafrog666]

Hi guys, hope I have got the right forum here. I am looking for a Z4 convertable. I have had a look
at the classifieds and there does seem a lot to choose from. Question is what one is the best to go for for all round fun. I was thinking of the 3.0lt, is auto best or manual?
I have around 13k to spend would this get me one with a solid folding roof?
Any comments please on what to go for.

Thanks madasafrog

Go for the 3.0Si.

I think the latest model - with the folding metal roof - will be out of your budget.

Get a manual. They're a great car. I just bought one, although it's a 3.0i it's great. Gearknob falls nicely to hand and it's a joy to drive and change gear. But I do very very little city driving.

Get a coupe. Get my coupe.

Madasfrog,

My best advise would be to buy one with a genuine BMW WARRANTY, which is transferable.

These cars do have lots of annoying expensive niggles, for more info go to the Z4Forum! If you want roof off reliable motoring, then buy a TVR Chimaera instead.

Best of luck
