This. If you don't have any major repairs you'd be sitting on about 30 grand after 5 years. Let that sink in.
The Z4s in general have been very reliable. For my it's my daily driver, so it was a huge concern when buying this car. So far it's been great and issues have been absolutely minor. Searching this forum has always found me a simple/cheap/DIY solution. So far I've had to tighten firewall braces, replace a battery, and replace a throttle position sensor: total cost less than $300. All of it doable by a novice.
The number of major failures on here are pretty minimal. Considering a person is 10 times more likely to post about a bad experience over a good one, I think that's a pretty good indicator.
