WANTED Z4 3.0 - 5k budget

[ChrisF1]

Hi all,

I've been on the hunt for a little while now but been disappointed by a few and remembered going to an owners forum has served me well, so here I am!

My only real requirement is that it's the 3.0, ideally a manual but I could consider an auto if there's a history of being well looked after to keep it as smooth as possible. Other spec is secondary to how well it's been cared for. My budget is £5k (or less, of course ) and I'm based in Gloucestershire, so looking for something within a relatively reasonable distance.

There are one or two nice options listed for sale here already that I may enquire about, but I've often found some success with jumping the queue on the good cars yet to be listed, so can't hurt to post a wanted thread.

Cheers,

[Mr Tidy]

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your search.

Welcome.
Half way through fettling an M54 3.0i on a 53-plate.
Bought from an elderly chap who could no longer afford the insurance when he hit 80!
Over the past year of his ownership I have replaced an airbag module, replaced the yaw sensor, fitted all new Brembo discs and pads.
I relocated the roof motor to the boot.
I had all new suspension to fit but in the end he offered it to me.
I have done the rear suspension and upgraded the DISA valve with metal innards.
Still got the front suspension and the vanos seals to do.
The roof has a small patch repair, but I have another roof to fit.
I am also going to swap out the seats and fit heated and electrically adjustable ones.
It is black sapphire with black leather interior.
Currently sat on very good condition 17” ‘Daisy’ wheels.
I return from holiday 2/6 and if you would be interested I can send photos then.
Reg is AT53 LEF.
Chaps son owned it on the Isle of Man so DVLA history looks a little odd.
Just clicked over 90k.

It would be towards the lower half of your budget and there would be potential for me to ‘customise’ it to your requirements a little if needed.

My 3.0Si Auto is listed in the sale section, super smooth as the gearbox is the later 6 speed and had an oil change.
