Is your car completely OEM Dave?
Enjoying Coop ownership, second time round . Also enjoying RWD action in a thundering V8 E90 M3.

Looks good fun. Seeing Z4's at circa £5k has me thinking... How would a 3.0 compare to a Z4M?

Is your car completely OEM Dave? Pretty much yes, only significant differences from standard are AP brakes all round, Eibach springs (standard dampers), a strut brace (bugger all difference) and induction kit for a bit more noise. The blue Z4M Coupe by comparison has the same tyres (Nankang), springs and brakes as mine but is partly stripped inside, lighter/wider tyres, CSL airbox and re-map and full race exhaust.

It depends on what you are using it for? If it's a track toy I would also urge you to look at the Boxster S for similar money or just a bit more. Comparing the Z4M to the 3.0 is something a number of owners have done, see here: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=88487&hilit=comparison+z4mThe Z4M and 3.0 are quite different IMO, in running costs, performance, sound, ride, braking, steering, traction and more, but both will put a grin on your face.

Thanks very much Dave. A am on the look out for a 200+ bhp, 5-8 year old open top for the weekend and maybe a bit of track day driving. The Boxster S and BMW Z4 are on the shortlist, far more so than a TT. The BM seems at bargain basement prices currently and the Boxster's also seem to me to be at never to be repeated money? The styling of the Z4 never used to appeal, but strangely it seems to have aged well and has grown on me. Trouble is finding one that has not been abused....

There are plenty of them out there in standard condition without big alloys and slammed, but I know what you mean. Of the two, for track driving I would slightly prefer the Boxster S for its superb standard brakes and a price that is unlikely to go down, although it is more difficult to do any major engine work. I've not driven the 3.0 Z4 though so maybe I'd change my mind if I did?

Sadly no, it's the day after our Donington meeting so I'll be busy at work. Would be good to catch up though.
