It's an Individual model so has the very rare rubinschwarz ruby black paint (black which gives glints of metallic red or purple in sunlight, really stunning in person and the pictures don't do it justice). The interior is champagne nappa with piano black trim. There were only 4 of the 3.0Si Sport Automatic made with this colour combination!
This is my third Z4 over the years - I had the 2.0i and the 2.5i prior to this (both manual), and I didn't miss the manual much having the auto / paddle shift. The shifters make easy work of holding whichever gear you need, with the advantage of being able to cruise effortlessly too! After this I bought the Alpina and neither of them sees the mileage they should be seeing. In an ideal world, I'd use this for commuting but it's too nice for that!
I've had the following done:
- Exterior detail (a 6-8 hour one, nothing extreme or harsh but it's reduced the swirling and brought out the lovely ruby red/brown in the Rubinschwarz). You'll notice it's a lot cleaner than the photos in the ad I bought it from - look at the exhaust!
- Replaced the tyres
- Had the front RTABs / lollipops replaced - this was tramlining like a... tram. The tyres and these bushes contributed. These cost £200 fitted.
- New battery - after buying the car, I went abroad for a week, and when I got back the car was screaming at me! The alarm was going off because of a dud battery.
I'm looking at £6250 and am located in Hampshire. The car doesn't have an MOT currently but I will put a fresh one on for the buyer.
