Basically what i'm trying to ask is how reliable are these cars and what are the weak points that have to be taken care of? How is the cost of maintenance once warranty is done? Is it a car that you can spend a weekend on wrenching on it yourself? I've already test driven one and I had a lot of fun driving it!

I traded in my 2003 Z4 2.5i for a 2017 370z just because of the maintenance cost. The bimmer has way too many sensors that can fail, and this can be annoying. I think buying later model of the Z is more reliable as problems from previous year should be fixed / addressed. At least you have 5 years of worry free powertrain warranty if you buy brand new
