If the S54 saw regular oil changes throughout it's life I wouldn't mind buying one that's in excess of 100k kms.

was there any revision to the z4 coupes? i only know that vanos is still an issue?

 

[Andy1GP]

Very minor updates, newer ECU that can handle more computations, no viscous fan on the Z4M S54 compared to the M3 S54, however the M3 has a better exhaust system.

And then tiny details like better wiring placement, clip and cable usage etc. All the Z4M's are fitted with the improved 'recalled' bearings afaik.

I would imagine the engines are near identical otherwise.
