Great colour combination, and I've always liked those wheels (107s IIRC).

It's not cheap for an 04 plate, but has very low mileage on it's side - can't quite see from the photo but it looks like it is a 2.5i so should be entertaining!

If you like it go and try it - it certainly looks much more exciting than anything else on their site!

OP, if you are still looking for a hardtop this one has just gone up for sale!

Well I think I may have found a Z4. A local garage has advertised a 53 plate 2.2 with 63k on the clock for less than 4K. Will be going to look at it this coming week hoping that I have found the one..... one owner from new with full service history (will check the province of this). MOT history shows that it fails on broken rear coils back in 2016 so they will be done. Checking with my local BMW garage if it has dealer history.

Will keep very one updated

Called BMW the car was service by a dealer up until the end of 2009.

Slowly finding the history..... Also have seen a hardtop on eBay in the same colour....Think I maybe getting a bit excited before I have even seen it.....

"£3", I'd have given you at least a fiver for it, maybe a tenner depending on how much go-juice was in the tank

Looks tidy, at least with the 2.2 you get a 6 cyl engine.

I must say I am surprised that the Coupe owners managed to restrain themselves from silly comments on this thread !

Barranak - don't worry, hang around this forum for a while and you will learn more than you could ever want to know about the Z4. Also all versions of the Z4 are good, if one appeals to your gut instinct (like the one you bought), then you have bought the right one.

Well done OP - car looks very clean and that is a low mileage.

I hope time doesn't drag too much until Wednesday!

I think I may have just been damned with faint praise - or something!
