Ok here's another one for ya...
Which are considered best by enthusiasts the earlier or the later versions?
Horses for courses. I prefer Facelift as they are newer and there's usually less miles and less rot compared to pre-Facelift.

Actually in Nefyn. My, that took a while.
Model of Z
2.2i Sport
And then the fighting started. Depends on which one you like the looks of, not a lot of difference really, but I prefer the looks of my curvaceous rear end. As for the engines, in the real world they've all got enough power, I prefer the sound of the sixes but that's just me. Old enough to remember the days of Austin Healey Sprites and the like that had next-to-no power but still went well enough. Whatever you wind up with, you're gonna love it (compulsory round here).

Cheers for the help chaps.
The car is in a friends used car garage, it's been there a while and not something that is attracting too much interest, but I really like it.
It's advertised at 5.5k but I could probably get it a grand cheaper than the screen price.
I wansnt actually looking for a z3, or any car really for that matter but it's taken my eye and feel it would be a good car to play with & use on weekends.
After doing a bit of research, it seems the 2.2 sport is a reasonably good engine and has a bit of grunt. It sounds very nice indeed imo.
IMO £4500 is the right money for the car.

It was only one from hundreds mind you ;)

If I had money to burn I'd want to have the last Z4 registered. I'd ask the dealer to keep it until it got a different registration to all the rest :)
In Devon last week I saw a 66 then the next day a 17 plated Z4. Considering production stopped last August don't know if someone just waited for the plates or a dealer got suck with stock. I just wondered if dealer would be discounting to clear or looking for high price as they must have been getting scarce ?

I can not see the E89s going up too much in value apart from maybe the 35is

I'd have thought a dealer would be getting rid by now, they need room for all the new models. Anyone else remember when BMW only made a couple of models?
Yep no 1 series no 2 series no X series mind they have i believe lost the 8 series mind they are i believe bringing that back
