Back again with Z4 no. 6 (E85 3.0i)

Post by gadgetJunky72 » Sat Apr 10, 2021 7:28 pm

Hi Folks,

Been a member here since 2007, which is when I bought my first Z4. A sterling grey E85 3.0i manual. Over the next few years I've had 4 E89s. 3x 35i and 1 x 35iS. Just picked up my 6th Z4 this morning. Another sterling grey E85 3.0i auto. I was holding out for a grey or black 3.0si auto but then spotted this one in an auction and thought sod it. it's got loads of great options. 1 owner with ~39k miles. electric/heated m-sport seats (my main reason for wanting an si), xenons, sat nav, parking sensors, cup holders, cruise control, hi-fi (non DSP) stereo, MFSW.

The reg is KG04EGE. It only has service history info up to 2013 although it's got MOT history every year up to this year. If anyone recognises the car it would be great if you could get in touch.

A few things to sort out:
1) The roof doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it's water in the motor. it's booked in at RBM this week to sort out.
2) Just noticed the central locking is playing up. could be GM5 module.
3) AUX or GROM or Intravee or Dension or Android screen
4) stubby or whippy

NB: Its' stable mates are a 2014 Full-Fat Range Rover Supercharged, a 2020 Toyota Supra and a 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS. Not that they've been used much in the last year.

This is easily the best forum I've ever been a part of (on and off). I'm looking forward to getting involved again.

Cheers

Pav

Photos so I don't get in trouble.

I guess the Z just gets under the skin and not a bad addiction all said and done. A nice looking example that you’ll soon lick into shape.
