    New Guy Needs Advice

    Got my first Z4. 2008 3.0i. Has 58,000 miles. Looks and drives great, but at this mileage (and I have a little of my budget left) what should I consider doing to the car re: maintenance. My thoughts were: exhaust, air intake, suspension/struts, brakes. Any thoughts from the old gear heads?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Other than regular maintance items, unless it has been replaced the electric water pump and thermostat would be first on my list
