It’s a 2003 3L model and done 76k Miles!!

It’s the base line trim but has, electricaly folding mirrors, cruise control, heated leather seats, auto dimming lights

As far as I know everything on the car is standard apart from the alloys which are 18”. I think they go very nicely with the coulor so there gonna stay for now :)

Im so glad I got the 3L it sounds so lush!!! I think I’m in love already!

Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup: Bonus points for photos in your 1st post!

That's a lovely looking Z4 in a great colour combination. And it isn't too base-line with the options you've listed, plus rear parking sensors.

The wheels definitely aren't standard but if you like them that's even better!

3.0 Litre is the way to go - after all the sixes all cost the same to run so you might as well have the biggest one. :lol:

It sounds like you've already contracted Z4itis - I don't think there is a known cure. :rofl:
Coupes because stunning!

Hi and welcome. There was only one trim level in 2003, so don’t beat yourself up.

The car cost me £4100 from a dealership.

The bad points are it has a few deepish scratches on the front bumper. I have a mate in a body shop who is going to sort them out for me :D

As the leather seats are cream - they could also do with a deep clean and recondition, but generally the cars in great conditon it’s been kept inside for 5 years!

Hi Geoff,

That's a very nice example, Looks really really smart on the black wheels!

I love the seat and interior I was not sure about it at first but now I love it Haha

I think my seats might be slightly different as they don't have the same black handles on the sides - thinking about it mine are electric so perhaps that could be why?
