This is a very common question on here. Who knows? It might be an excellent example of the marque, or it may be a dog. If you like it and you want it...........go for it.

Just been talking with the owner, very forthcoming is getting a new Z4 next week, has every receipt & mot for the one he is selling, only thing that puts me off is no spare wheel just a can of weld , I have no experience of using this, has someone viewing it tomorrow, if it doesn't go will take a look on Monday,so my V6 may be going.

Don't they come with run flats? I think I wouldn't be put off by it just for that reason. How many punctures have you had in the past?
-
Know very little about run flats always had "normal tyres" , just think the idea of no spare wheel is ridiculous .
-
Don't all beemers run RFTs now?

I'm pretty sure you can specify a spare wheel when buying new, so buy one. I had to buy a spare wheel and the carrier for my Orlando, wasn't going to trust a can of too. On the plus side, I now have a decent tyre inflator if I need to pump up a tyre.

Is it for your wife?..... ::) ::) ::) ;)

Mate of mine had some massive bills on his. ABS module related, IIRC. One of those faults that apparently happens to every car eventually, and, if it were from a manufacturer with any concept of after sales service, it would be replaced under warranty instead of in exchange for £1500+. ::)

Now that's the kind of information I wanted, don't care if it does go now!!
-
that's what my colleague was moaning (ABS) as well a whole raft of other things

Yep I am losing interest already, it has done 111,000 miles so lots of things could be ready to"expire" body & interior are unmarked , is asking £4995.00 will see if it goes tomorrow.

If it helps, BMW will not extend their Mondial warranty beyong 100k and prices usually shoot up around the 75k mark. Probably representative of what can and will go wrong with these cars.
-
I think your asking in the wrong place for an opinion on a Beemer. ;D
-
Most important optional extra is indicators,dont be fooled into thinking they are standard equipment because the car looks like it has them fitted ;D ;D

.....and they do have a hint of 'hairdressers car' about them. ;)
I believe that Sir Tigger is a big fan of the Z4. ::) ::) ::) :P

Old ones look very dated now. The new ones are very attractive...if, as Opti says, you lean in a certain direction. :-*

No it was the Z3 I liked the look of, as at the time it was kinda different from the others on the market, even if it was just a 318 in different clothes. ;) :y

My brother has owned four or five BMW. They have been far from reliable and extremely expensive to fix when they inevitably go wrong. Yet still he persists in buying into the myth of flawless/faultless german engineering. :-\

Sold to first viewer today, so I missed out, yes it was for the wife (40th wedding anniversary) present .. when I told her who the phone call was from (the seller) she said she would rather have a new watch anyway!!
