Time to sell my Z! Putting it on here first as I hope that the car will be kept with a forum member as before. If it doesn't sell on here, in a week or two I will put it on the usual sites.

This car has belonged to Wyldie85, archieuk84 bought the car from him and then, in turn, I bought the car from archieuk84 in Feb this year.

Car is on 77522 miles (will go up as still driving the car daily).

6 Speed Manual

Modifications

The car had two new rear springs in 2013 as both originals had broken.
The whip aerial has been replaced with a stubby.
The MV2’s sit on 10mm (front) and 20mm (rear) spacers.
The number plate bulbs have been changed to non-fault LED bulbs.
The footwell lights have been changed to LED bulbs.
Auxiliary input to the stereo

My Ownership

Since I've had the car, I got the Inspection II service done on the 24/03/17 with 69170 miles at Emtec Salisbury (won't need the oil change till over 9k miles yet). They commented that they usually have a long list of things to do on Z's when they see them, but they couldn't find a thing on mine.

I had two new rear tyres put on the back before summer, I will put two new front tyres on in the coming week.

In May I had a Terraclean Service done to the engine at Highfield Garage in Wilton, they commented on what a great engine it was already as the emissions were low before the service.

I had the MOT done in on the 26th of July, it shot through no problems.

Service History

25/08/2006 Pre Delivery Check – Inchcape Retail – BMW Service Centre
26/11/2008 Oil Service at 16942 – Sytner Oldbury
02/08/2011 Inspection 1 at 35,330 – Sytner Sunningdale
17/07/2014 Oil Service at 54339 – Lee Shannon BMW Specialist
24/03/2017 Inspection II at 69170 - Emtec Salisbury BMW Specialist

General Condition

The general condition of the car is great, no dents or rust on the car, it has the odd stone chip at the front of the car as I use it to get to work 18 miles to and from down the A303. A few marks but, overall in awesome condition. The interior is excellent, the usual mark or two on the bolster of the driver seat, apart from that you will be hard pressed to find anything. Everything works as it should, the heats are nice and hot with the heated seats on, the air con is nice and cold. Everything works as it should do, the roof is fine, it goes up and down without any problems. I treated the roof with scotch guard (I find this is the best stuff to use) so you can see the water beading on the roof.

Problems/Issues

I would say at least one, maybe two of the alloys could do with a refurb or at least are on the way of needing a refurb.

When you put the roof down or back up, the passenger window only goes half way and does not come back up. It's never bothered me as as soon as the roof is locked I use the roof buttons. To be clear, the window goes up and down perfectly normal when you use the buttons on the doors, just for some reason it won't come back up via the roof button.

Thats about it, it's a great car and I will miss it but it's time for a new owner to cherish it as much as myself, and the previous owners have.

Looking for £5895 ono

This part of the ad was a little confusing - obviously a typo: 'roof' should read 'window'
. . .When you put the roof down or back up, the passenger roof only goes half way and does not come back up.
