Can I ask why? The MOT history is good, the mileage is good. From the mileage on the MOT history, it was bought as a summer toy, as it did 11k in the first 3 years. Many Z4s had 30-36k in the first three years (which would suggest a company car or a lease) and then went down from there on an annual basis. Lease or company cars are never looked after as well as summer toys in their early life.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I called to have a chat and was left a bit cold. Sure the car maybe fine but I like to get an idea of the seller before I part with cash.Pondrew wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 10:00 pmCan I ask why?

Fair enough. If the whole package doesn't feel right, I don't blame you.

iDrive...even if slightly out of date now, one slight advantage is that with the addition of a MMI box you can add Apple Car Play / Android / Google maps etc.

Ash, it’s not often one comes up with basically no additional spec but here’s one to use for comparison
Small wheels, cloth seats, base stereo, no iDrive, no parking sensors, no wind deflector

Ash if you’re prepared to put a bit of time and effort in and be aware you might need a bit of a spend what about this presuming all the history/paperwork etc checks out?
MOT has a few fails, tyres, wheel, springs. Nothing we don’t see regularly on Zeds

Hi all, thanks for the messages. Sadly at present I am not well again, had my 2nd jab last week which like most had side effects but mine brought back old issues from a couple of months back, so driving is very painful due to issues. Enjoy your Zs this summer and hopefully I can’t fight this off quickly and get my foot finally in a Z4.

Sorry to hear that you are unwell again, wishing you a speedy recovery.
I am sure that a zed will appear that tickles your fancy at some point, they are out there believe it or not

Lovely car but wrong engine for me.
However this appeared: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353560833235 ... SwMvZg4dCU
Needs fixing but it looks a nice motor.
