Possible Purchase - BMW Z3

I am thinking about purchasing a 1997 BMW Z3 2.8l with 130k miles on the clock and 9 previous owners. What should I look out for, what should I be wary of and what questions should I ask the garage?

It has almost a FSH, the last being at 102k.

It won't be my first car, just a weekend joy.
