Z4 3.0i roadster/coupe

[blueveloce]

I am in the process of looking for a weekend coupe/convertible and the z4 is top of my list atm,whilst i havent organised a test drive or even seen any local to go and look at i hope some owners could give me the low down..

Are they fairly reliable,what do i need to look out for?

Being 6 ft 3" and approx 15 stone will i be comfortable?


I`ve a budget of around £10k ..

thanks

Mr Tidy yes it is me with the Alfa 156v6 and i appreciated your 325ti pic and i do like your z4 coupe a lot...

@hilly10 very nice....

I`ve seen some great value roadsters and as said the coupe commands a bit most cost but i am torn between both...

I do like the thinking mans Boxster comment and the Boxster has never been on my list of possible roadsters where as the z4 has for a few years now and now the wife has her new car for general use the z4 would fit the bill..

Thanks for the info guys...

Mr Tidy thanks for your kind offer,i live in Kent but occasionally travel to Surrey/Berkshire with work so maybe a meet would be possible...

Thanks to all for the info given...

Exactly this!

The 3.0si has a really special engine, it's quite light in comparison to the cast iron blocks of the 3.0s or 3.2 in the M. Perhaps for the op, a 3.0si coupe is the way to go. Probably won't lose you much if any money if you ever sell it to upgrade to the M.

The coupe has one me over but still a concern is how comfortable i will be but i hope the look around in wiggy001`s coupe i am planning should clear that up.I did have a look around a new mazda mx5 rf this morning but my head hit the roof and my knees hit the steering wheel and with only up and down travel that was a major problem.

I have a couple of other options but i do hope i fit comfortably in the coupe
