What should I look for in a used BMW Z4?

On the whole, the Z4 is a solid sports car, although owners will probably have driven them hard from time to time, especially M40i cars. With that in mind, it’s worth checking that the car drives as it should, with all the mechanical parts in working order, and that there’s a good amount of tread on the tyres.
