Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low mileage, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure the vehicle has been serviced at regular intervals regardless of distance covered. Pay close attention to the condition of the convertible roof mechanism and seals, as these are critical components for this model's longevity.
Check for the age of the tyres and other rubber perishables; vehicles with very low usage can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation even if the tread remains deep. Negotiate based on any missing service records or the need for immediate preventative maintenance.
The 2996cc petrol engine places this vehicle in a higher tax bracket and results in higher fuel consumption than smaller Z4 variants. Insurance costs will vary by group but are typically moderate for this class of roadster.
Maintenance for BMWs of this era can be expensive, particularly for specialist parts. When factoring in fuel, road tax, insurance, and typical maintenance for a 3.0L engine, the annual cost is likely to be higher than a standard commuter car.
Carefully inspect the braking system, specifically the rear calipers, as a missing nearside rear brake caliper retaining clip led to an MOT failure in August 2024. Ensure the fix was permanent and that no other clips are missing.
Check the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and anti-roll bars, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the aggregate data for this model. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps, is fully operational following the 2023 failure.
This grey 2007 BMW Z4 has covered 43,115 miles, which is significantly below the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only a minor brake clip failure in 2024 and a light bulb issue in 2023. The most recent test in September 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Z4 has an average MOT pass rate of 82.8%, with common failures often linked to brake pads and suspension components like coil springs.
