Any bimmerfags here? Need to know how reliable the Z4 M (S54B32) is, looking at one with 48k miles for sale for this summer coming up but don't want it if people have problems with electrical or transmission for example. Also never owned a bimmer, let alone an M series.

the engine and manual transmission is very reliable
You should look up vanos issues, it's a cheap $60 fix but it's still a problem

Word i'll look into that. I know people say don't buy a car if you can't afford the repairs, but i can to a certain extent (I know a clutch is about $1500 with labor). The car itself is 25-35k used, so I'm not rich or anything. The only thing that would scare me with these expensive cars are the electronics, that shit can get pricey and I know NOTHING about electronics only mechanical. For example I've heard horror stories of people spending 5k on some minor bullshit in their late 2000s Jaguar XJs. I wanted an 09 XJ until I heard how shitty they were in that department

Look into the competition too, try a Z3M before a Z4M.
many
Why not a Cayman S

they're 15-20k over my budget

the electronics are not that bad
some sensor might fail but they're not that expensive and you can keep driving without it anyway, nothing vital usually fails

No they're not. You can get a cayman s for around 30
