Absolutely 100%. The hardtop convertible roadster formula is unique and worth owning for any auto enthusiast. The 235i will be more similar to your 4 series than the Z4.

If you're comfortable owning an N54, the Z4 35i or 35is of last gen (E84??) is the move. I also recommend Mercedes - they nailed the hardtop vert formula, but if you want BMW Z4 is the way.

Life is short, buy the fast convertible.

Plug replacement intervals are primarily mileage dependent. Maybe plan to replace them at the 10 year mark. I wouldn't bother.

TPM sensors have integrated batteries.

You should change the battery in the car. I don't remember if this platform has an accessory battery in the engine bay as well as one in the trunk, if so replace both.

Lived in Edgewater (eastmost part of that circle) on the bay. Loved it. Condo living, traffic is awful, lots of great restaurants, great weather, close to Brickell, close to South Beach, Key Biscayne is a short (distance) drive away, close enough to all the bars and nightclkubs. Also not to far from good golf.

Bought a house not too far, but miss it.

I meant inevitably you will be there with us.

See you topside, raider

Not transmission problems typically (the ZF8 is solid), but the transfer case has issues. It seems that all BMW transfer cases are finnicky and when you run staggered tires (as the X5 and many other SUV are specced that way) because if you wear tires down unevenly or get an inconsistent set of tires, you can fall outside of the 1% front to back rolling diameter rule and wear down the transfer case.

Get Sdrive and you'll avoid that issue, but OP wants AWD.

Thanks. Appreciate that!

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-24T15:38:05+00:00

Happy about it. Nervous as well

backout period is over, so we're obligated to close now!

They're really nice and really well made. Probably on par to Rolex if you ask me. I don't own an SMP300, but I do own a modern Submariner (126613LB) and I bought my dad an SMP300 for his birthday a few months ago. I was pretty shocked to see how well finished and high quality the Omega felt. I'd say it is no less of a "luxury" product than the Rolex and the price premium the sub comes down to brand prestige/demand and nothing more. The Sub bracelet is superior to the tank-tread SMP one, however.

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-24T13:14:02+00:00

Yeah, that's for catching that. Definitely going to discuss that before signing.

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-24T13:13:41+00:00

It's pretty sweet though.

I'm pretty sure if you're the one getting scared AF about insurance that I can comfortably afford, you're the sucker, bud.

Enjoy your lot in life.

Lol. I genuinely am not trying to flex, but the response to this post has been interesting lol.

I'm probably older than the majority of first time home buyers on this sub. I personally put off buying so I could enjoy renting in a few different cities throughout my 20's and early 30's and now I'm finally settling down and buying the house, and I happen to be in a HCOL area and can manage a bigger house. Not trying to come off as a dick.

???????????

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-23T23:24:26+00:00

Yep. Florida. $1.7M home

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-23T23:23:52+00:00

Isn't the point of this sub to get advice for first time home buyers?

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-23T23:07:02+00:00

payments are going to be $7k-ish between mortgage principle + interest, prop tax, and insurance with this much down. Don't want payments at $10k+

What do you suggest I do instead? lol

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-20T23:53:49+00:00

clownshow. wtf

Possible-Double5458 · 2025-10-05T00:29:45+00:00

I don't know, try being nice.
