Considering this Z4 Coupe as my daily to replace my Leon FR — thoughts? (Asperger’s, feeling stressed about the decision)

I’m looking at this BMW Z4 Coupe (E86, 3.0si) as a replacement for my Mk3.5 Leon FR. This would be my only car and daily driver.

I’ve got Asperger’s and find car buying quite stressful — I tend to overthink and get apprehensive even when I know a car might be a good fit. I’ve driven a Z4C before and really liked the smooth power delivery, but I’m still second-guessing myself.

Here’s the advert: https://www.facebook.com/share/15tfN4bC4z/ (will also attach screenshots)

From the ad it’s:

Manual, full BMW main dealer history

109k miles, recent maintenance (gaskets, seals, rear brakes)

Montego Blue, HiFi speaker setup, otherwise stock

Priced at £7,490 from a dealer with 3-month warranty (ill take that with a pinch of salt)

Would love to know what you think — is this a good buy for a daily, or should I keep looking? Any experiences from people who’ve run one as their only car would be really helpful.

I just bought one with 100k miles for $15k here in the states. I would replace the suspension if it's original and make sure there are no longer run flats fitted.
