Never seen the phrase "desirable beige" used with so much confidence before, but the car looks great and the price is good. :thumbsup:

Would definitely be worth posting the service history, line by line. Also, your oil filler cap is on upside down, which will get some people's eyes twitching.

Nice looking car, I had its brother in roadster form. The forum is full of very discerning and knowledgeable Z4 enthusiasts some of who I’m sure will be interested in your car.

A bit more info about the car would help a lot though, what condition are the tyres and brakes for example. Have you had any non servicing work done like a VANOS overhaul or a gearbox oil change? Comprehensive details of the service history is a good idea too. Some interior photos would be helpful too.

Have a look in the for sale section at some of the other adverts for some pointers.

Yea seen it lovely car, my views are below (please note i am not an engineer).

The guy selling is is 100% legit, really nice, very professional and wasn't just saying things to try and sell the car! :thumbsup:

Pro's
+ Its Red!
+ Great Bodywork Condition
+ Great Interior Condition

Negatives
- No real clue on the mechanical condition as its being sold on behalf of the owner - Sounds absolutely fine from a cold start
- No cruise control (2nd Stalk)
- No folding lekky wing mirrors
- No receipts for maintenance before 2015
- Same faults shown in MoT history (Multi Years Running)
- MoT due november (but will have a new MoT when its sold)
- Last Inspection II was in 2011, Inspection I was 2017
- Priced 2k over average because its red regardless of history
- Computer was tripped, Red TMC & Dates blanked out (Reset)
- Pins missing from the battery enclosure / loosely covered

What do you mean by this, just out of interest? I'm not sure what TMC is, in this context.

Do you mean that the date/time needed to be set, the same as would be the case if you replaced the battery, or something else?

No GPS satilites found for TMC , mostly likey because the computer was tripped when battery was replaced.

Ah cool, yeah I did wonder whether it was TMC as in traffic. I wouldn't know, my spec is flimperish...

Don’t think TMC uses seats in that way. Did the car know where it was on nav?

TMC requires the radio tuned into a station that supports TMC. It’s very fickle.

Regarding spec, very few of these cars have electric folding mirrors.

Cruise control on the other hand is very easy to retrofit. I could supply and fit for you for £175.

The other things don’t sound that significant. You will struggle to find a perfect ///M, let alone a perfect ///M in 8mola from a private seller.

Nah was blank red TMC was centre front of the display. Again this is overkill it was most likely a battery disconnect but was worth mentioning.

Think you have to have a route set for TMC to work also.

My Imola coupe had foldy mirrors

No cruise though

I know the guy I sold it too has now sold it on, and the cherished plate has now come off

Was SP07 ZNS and 323NKN

Dare say it’s still knocking around
