Reliability Z4M vs M3 e46

Dear all,

I have seen a lot of threads about the M3 e46 reliability but not much for the Z4M.

I have been lucky enough to own all M3s since the e46. Lately, I have been driving F80 et even G80 but I have been missing so much the old natural aspirated 6L that I bought a E36 3.2 321cv cabriolet and was also looking for a E46 manual transmission but almost impossible with less than 200000km or it would be very expensive...

I have a good opportunity on a coupe Z4M with 115000km from 2007 and I love the test drive so I will probably go for it but I was wondering before signing if even the 2007 M cars have the same issues as M3 e46 such as :

- Head gasket failure
- Rear axle tear
- rod bearing recall (guess not for a 2007 s54)

If I have missed anything or something only related to E86, thanks for sharing

Regards,
