NO LONGER WANTED E89 Z4 M Sport

[lyricalgangsteruk]

Hi all, previous Z4 owner wanting back into the fold!

I've had to re-adjust my budget after speaking to a lovely forum member recently I've decided to set my budget at around £14,000

I'm after an E89 Z4, I have a list of desirables/essentials, but (strangely?) the cars condition would be more important than spec for me...

So essential: M Sport spec, manual, mileage below 50,000, full service history (not necessarily main dealer), heated seats, 19inch alloys.

Desirable Plus!: I'd really like better than the base speaker system - but again, if everything else was perfect, I coud live without and potentially upgrade later;

The only colours I wouldn't want are black and dark blue - previous experience puts me off these colours, so White, Valencia Orange, Silver, Grey, Red I would love, and really have no preference, it's the condition that matters to me more.

Obviously, the better the spec the better, but I wouldn't be put off by lack of iDrive, or comfort pack, or other items deemed essential by others.

I would be subtly modifying the car anyway, so would not be put off by a sensible remap, springs or spacers. No lairy stickers or stripes please!

Hoping to grab a really well loved and looked after zed, so if you're contemplating selling, let me know!

Many thanks,

John

What engine are you thinking of 4 or 6 cylinder ? Size preference if 6 ?
Where roughly are you located ?

[lyricalgangsteruk]

There's always something missed!

I think realistically I would be looking at a 2litre turbo. I don't think I'd stretch to a 35 at this budget, and having read through lots of posts about pros and cons of 3litre NA vs 2litre remapped, I'd probably prefer a 2litre (and remapped)

I don't have a preference re interior leather colour either - most interiors go with their exterior enayway!

I'm based in Whitehaven in Cumbria, but will travel for the right car. My last zed I went to Perth in Scotland!

Many thanks

Take a look in the newbie threads - someone asking the best way to sell a 2.0 Z4

[lyricalgangsteruk]

Have sent a nessage, but no luck...

Still looking!

[lyricalgangsteruk]

Crikey, these cars must be brilliant, nobody is selling!

Still looking; there is a few approved used, but I think I'd rather go private if possible, as you get a better feel for the car and it's life!

Give me a shout, even if you're cosidering selling after Christmas.

Willing to travel for the right car.

Many thanks all.

I would say mine, but i have a few more miles than what you're looking for 85k and mines a auto.

[lyricalgangsteruk]

Hi there,

Yes, unfortunately too many miles for me. I may be swayed by an auto if everything else was perfect?

I know these aren't sports cars as such, more a GT, so perhaps an auto wouldn't be as bad as I imagine.

It's all about the cruising and chilling with the roof down

What’s the reason for sticking to under 50k lyrical...? The bottom end of the 35 cars are steel as standard, 100k is nothing for them. Have you considered going for a few more miles, picking up a nice 35i in manual, then you wouldn’t need to spend on a remap etc,..?

My 35i is on 114k miles and you couldn’t tell it apart from a 50k miler tbh. Anyway best of luck whichever road you follow.

Hi all,

As above, no longer looking for a Z4, 'cos I bought one!

Ok, so you know I said I wanted heated seats and upgraded speakers? Well, it hasn't got them

It's a white Z4 M Sport, red leather, with comfort pack and the 19's I wanted. the seller for me - a 15 plate, one owner, FSH with only 5600 miles.

It's basically like a new car in and out. Approved used BMW, had to travel 14 hr round trip - from Cumbria to Plymouth!

I think I got a great deal - it was originally up at £15400, was reduced to £15000, so I offered £13000 plus my 2009 99000miler seat ibiza as trade.

They accepted! The invoice says 750 discount plus 1250 for the SEAT - I would have struggled to get that private given the mileage.

They refurbed the aloys, and fresh MOT.

I love it!

Pics to follow once it's clean

Cheers all

So love the Z4.

But, booked in to Ptorque tomoro!

Can't wait!

If you can, can you get two dyno runs before n after to add to our database of info..is it an auto?

[lyricalgangsteruk]

Yup, will do. Rolling road is part of the deal at ptorque

The guy said figures would be 260bho and 420nm, so will be interesting to see what it gives. Car is manual.
