!Found E86!

Post by True-Blue » Mon Jul 29, 2019 10:49 am

Morning all,

Back on the hunt for an E86 (possibly E85 - by only facelift Si)

My preference is for an E86,

Colour - Stratus Grey (Possibly silver grey), Ruby or Carbon Black (Not Saphire Black), or any Blue. I quite like Helrot, but i’m not prepared to pay a big premium for a red car (so that’s probably out).

I realise these are relatively ‘old’ cars now, but some are genuinely close to mint and cosseted & some are sheds - I’m looking for the former, with no obvious signs of bodywork repairs. Although I appreciate most will have had the front bumper repainted at some point for stone chips.

Interior - must have MSport seats, preferably in something other than black or red leather (but the colour isn’t a deal breaker). I’d prefer a multifunction steering wheel and heated seats, but again not vital. Not fussed at all about satnav, but Bluetooth for hands free would be a bonus.

Must have as complete a service history as possible.

My very strong preference is for a manual, but would consider an exceptional auto.

Although my strong preference is for a coupe, I’d also consider an Si Manual E85... but it would need to be a cracker! (I do want a ‘facelift’ car)

In terms of budget, it really depends on the car. Having said that, I am motivated to buy and I’m on two weeks holiday so have time, particularly from next Monday, to travel and view.

In terms of pricing, I’ve been scouring EBay, autotrader and gumtree for a while and very little is moving. I know that we all hope E85/E86 will become ‘classics’ and I see numerous adverts claiming ‘prices are only going one way’ and ‘future classic’ (not on this forum, but on Autotrader etc) It’s not just Z4’s that are hanging about, I’ve been looking at a few options and the market is stagnant for 2 seaters.

My maximum budget for an exceptional E86 would be £8k, but a fair bit less for an E85.

Please feel free to PM or email me.

Hi, I’m not a big fan of the ‘’black’’ black, if that makes sense ? Only the Ruby & Carbon (blue) ones.

My preference is for an E86, and my colour choice would be Stratus Grey, Ruby or Carbon Black, or Monaco / Montego blue. I quite like Helrot, but i’m not prepared to pay a big premium for a red car (so that’s probably out).

Preferably with something other than black or red Leather, although this isn’t a deal breaker.

Add 'Midnight Blue' to your list of colours, very similar to Monaco Blue, but the colour pops a bit more, I think. I used to have a Midnight Blue E85 and I loved the colour.

Have to agree on that , midnight blue suits the coupe so so well & is relatively rare too .

Thanks for the input on ‘the Blues’

I’ve amended the listing to hope fully make it a bit more obvious and easy to read!
