Newbie looking at the E89

[Smash]

Yeah the red one is looking nicer by the minute, it is an m sport after all.... might phone to ask for the number plate.

I thought the red one looked stunning, especially with the Ivory interior and M-Sport seats. Plus it's a 23i and I think you were looking for a 6 cylinder engine.

I love Valencia Orange, but I think it was only offered on facelifts so as I understand it the only 6 pots are the 35i or 35is sadly.

I'm glad your search is back on so good luck finding the right one.

Thank Mr Tidy, feel well enough to resume my search hope it stays this way... never really liked red in the z4 but saw one in the flesh at Silverstone the other day and it stood out well, especially if the rims were tinted dark grey.

Cant see heated seats in the red one, did you look at the blue one I linked the other day

Yes the blue one had all the toys, reminds me of spider man with that colour combo, blue with red seats Great price, it’s been up for sale for a while as well, wonder why it hasn’t gone.

Could be the colour combo, if that does not suit maybe a swap with a black set out of a white car could be done

No, no heated seats, which would be a mist for me up here

Called about the red z4 M sport, seems ok number plate is YG61CCO. Asked for the vin number but he didn’t have it to hand. Asked for the service intervals and he said it is complete but didn’t indicate when as I asked I would eventually like to use the BMW Warranty and he replied oh I don’t think they’ll accept this car.

Is he going to look out the paperwork/service stuff and VIN for you?

He possibly thinks it’s too old for BMW, otherwise I’d be asking him straight out why HE thinks they won’t accept it

Nope, he seemed to be on the move though and said please come and visit you can check everything yourself, I said I’m miles away but he said call me back when I’m at my desk, but I was a tad busy myself.

He said they probably won’t accept it due to BMW are hugely fussy with cars that have not been serviced in house.

Its a must for me as I will put the roof down on chilly days - its one of the features that I not only need but must have

[Smash]

On another note this car is round the corner from me which is extremely rare but I feel it is overpriced, what do you guys think?

I did spot that one but never linked it as it was over budget, now I have a looked, its an SE and at that's mileage its at £1k over priced IMHO but the market is strong.

If that's £12k mine is £13k as it is a better spec'd car, however mine is £11k max being very sensible so you can judge for yourself where that should be - I would rather travel and get an Msport for that money

Agree I think 10k would be about right and I would buy it at that price.

I just tried we buy any car for a bit of fun on these cars.... the black one came in at £6700 and the red m sport £9600 obviously it’s estimated but it gives me a rough idea of pricing.

Nice car that with a decent spec, it's definitely top end but the design interior really makes the cabin a fantastic place, a really nice combo, personally I think it's a 10k car but the market is so buoyant who knows what someone might pay for it. If its a keeper than it might be worth going to 11 but even that's really strong money for a 74k 2009 model. Wouldn't worry about se spec as its a nicer drive and it's got the toys.

Nothing wrong with SE at all, that I agree with just that one is somewhat pricey and £11k at an absolute push, again it smacks of someone seeing a buoyant market and seeing what they can get and someone who knows no better may buy it.

WBAC offered my £10.5K for mine so no idea why they are so low on the ones you have added in

But yours is Highline... got to be worth more which it will be. Just tried my Volvo they offered £4200 in June now it’s £2800.. maybe they are preparing for winter markets.

WBAC seem to be offering strong money at the moment. Over the course of a month or so mine went from £11k to over £12250.
Wizzle also priced it at £12200 and that was after I'd declared the scuffing on the wheels.
I'd take £12500 for mine if someone on the forum wants it as I'd like it to stay within the Z4 community. The forum has been useful to me so I'd like to give someone a chance to get a well specced car that's been looked after for a decent price. It'll go on Autotrader for more, to cover advertising costs etc
