New here, looking for my first z4 E86 3.0si

[Stone86]

Hi guys!

Im on the look out for my first z4! I have admired them for years and been saving. Ive just started having a look on autotrader. Could you point me in the direction of any good resources for what to look at when buying? My plan is to take a mechanic along when I do go and look at one. My car knowledge isnt great when it comes to the mechanical side of things so will need some back up! Ill be upgrading from a 2010 golf tdi. This will be my first car of this standard so very excited!

Im based in Gloucestershire UK.

Thanks in advance.

Worth having a chat with him even if you are looking for something cheaper than what he typically stocks.

Mine is for sale and as of tomorrow will hopefully have 12 months MOT.

# 26 - For Sale £5,750

Looks nice. New wheels defo an improvement. How you finding the autobox and flappy paddles? Stevie Love it but not used the paddles yet - the sport button however has seen plenty of action :thumbsup:

It's well sorted mechanically having previously been owned by a forum member who runs the Lincolnshire Zed Shed

hjowdee, simple really, buy a car from a forum member, typically they will be very well looked after, and more important is they have a passion for that marque, so look on the for sale sections here before you do the usual suspects,

ps.. the z4 coupe rickybobby has for sale is a peach, if i didnt own too many cars that would be on my driveway.

Hi and to the forum from me too in Stafford. You could also try the 'for sale' section of the dedicated Z4 forum. Good luck with your search.
