    Post BMW E85 Z4 3.0i



    2003 E85 BMW Z4 3.0i Roadster - 6 Speed Manual

    Mileage: 69k miles (will increase until sale)

    NCT: 23/02/2019

    Tax: 28/02/2019

    Service History: Full, with receipts available for all work done and a motorcheck report to confirm mileage etc

    Spec:

    Factory M-Sport suspension
    Xenon lights + Washers
    Auto lights + wipers
    Wind deflectors
    Electric memory seats
    "Full" speakers package
    Auto dimming rear view mirror
    Electric windows/mirrors
    Tyre Pressure Monitoring
    Brushed aluminium trim

    Bodywork:

    Can only be described as immaculate after a recent detail and a full Gtechniq ceramic coating to protect it for years to come. Bodywork is completely free of dings or scratches.

    Wheels and Tyres:

    BMW Style 107s refurbished and powder coated in BMW Ferric Grey Mettalic and shod with brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tyres all around.

    Mechanical:

    The car was dropped off in Motor Confidence where it got everything it needed replaced.

    Off the top of my head:

    Rocker cover gasket
    Oil filter housing gasket
    Spark plugs
    1 x Coil (all 6 were replaced less than a year / 4k miles ago)
    Fan belt
    Track rods
    Camber bolts
    Most of the suspension bar shocks and springs

    Interior:

    In great condition with new BMW mats fitted, all accessories work as they should, A/C blows cold etc

    Some wear on driver's bolster but nothing major.

    Roof:

    Fully electric - up or down in 6 seconds and is in excellent condition, no marks or stains on it and all seals look as new.

    Mods:

    The car has a full Maxton Design aero kit and spoiler - the splitter is tired being honest, I will order another one for the new owner.

    Polished exhaust tips.

    A very discreet and tidy (and useful!) oil temperature gauge install where the driver's side cup holder would be.

    Also a discreet Aux in and USB port install to play music through the BMW Business Stereo which sounds very good even at motorway speeds with the top down.

    Headlights were tinted but I've removed the tints and polished / restored them.

    Overall this is a cracking, well maintained example of a Z4 with the right engine and gearbox.

    Price: 8,995 Euro

    Reason for sale: Looking for a car with rear seats.

    Swaps / Part Exchange: Yes - would consider a six pot petrol e93, a petrol f30 / f31, or a diesel e70

    Here are various photos between February and May 2018

    Congrats Peter. That’s great news.
    I’ve seen this car first hand and it’s in excellent condition. Paintwork looks flawless and has the added bonus of the ceramic coating.

    Nothing like buying a fully sorted car.

    Congratulations Peter and best of luck with the sale.

    Edit: Given I’m in the same boat right now I’m going to throw out the advice a friend of mine gave me when I almost sold the e46. Keep the car you like and just buy a cheap DoneDealer for the family car needs.

    Huge congrats mate! Great news altogether

    *edit* I was trying to be tasteful and not add this in- but if it’s with the blond that you had in the passenger seat the other evening- take a second congrats!

    Haha, THAT blonde - yes

    Thanks Nige, and everyone for the kind words. I'm very excited about it and really looking forward to it

    Some more time with the Z4 would be nice, but I did have a lot of fun with it and I'll probably have it for another while before it sells.

    I still have my dad's old Vectra which I've been mainly using as a way to prevent other people from dinging the Z4 but I'd rather sell both and have an all rounder than the Z4 and a box.

    We'll see.
