With something like a Z4 it's really something you have to "go balls to the wall" with.
Z4 M Coupe or bust, any lesser guise ist for sissies.

Some people think they are the "funny one" in the group but really they are a bit sad
All that is required now is another quote and post edit to really bring it home...

Duke, does it have to be an auto?
Know a very good 2008 2.5 si, 56,000 mile Full BMW SH.
Black with black letherz coming up for sale very shortly.
It's also a 1 owner car.

They are an E46 in drag so similar things apply such as Snapped rear coil springs, worn wishbone bushes, DSC pressure sensors, window regs.
Also the roof motor sits in a plastic cup which is prone to filling up with water and rotting/killing the motor which is a roof out job to change.
It's not as bad as it sounds, I have the job down to about an hour and a half.
If its a 2007 six pot then it will have the E9x type six pot which is an N52 which is a good engine but watch for failed mapped thermostat and electric water pump.

Also the mirror glass can fall off from the backing plate.

Yep that's the one, big mistake buying that. Needed the roof down to get rid of the fumes of burning oil.
