Seems to have all the extras you wanted + cruise control and the MOT history looks good. Check the inside of the 326 alloys for cracks and if its on runflat tyres consider changing them. With regards to the price, you don't ask you don't get :thumbsup:

As Zed Baron says got most of the things you want, and wheels check and tyre change if Runflats. Nice colour too.

Got something I wish mine had, phone connectivity. My aftermarket options I’m looking at just now are £2/300 min for anything decent. Think that ones got folding mirrors too.

Price....... start at £7.5/7750 knowing you’ve got a bit of wriggle room to go up if need be?

    That looks like a good example - Deep Sea Blue looks great, especially on a sunny day!

    It also seems to tick all the boxes complete with heated M-Sport seats, MFSW, cruise and even power-fold mirrors. :thumbsup:

    As I've only had E86s I'm not really up on E89 values, but that doesn't seem dear for a car being sold by a trader.
    Coupes because stunning!

    Thanks for all your help

    I have put a deposit down on this one

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-z4/16426 ... 1438.l2649

    Seems to have everything i wanted, for 7.7k
    full service history and 12 months mot with no advisories

    it's on 17's with run flats so will probably change those shortly after picking up the car!
    Doesn't have sports seats so hopefully i could source some and install (if its not to hard a job!)

    and it has the ski hatch to pop my golf clubs through so can have the roof down :-)

    :D

    Congratulations, nice colour :thumbsup:

    Mine had cloth seats in it originally and were swapped out for heated leather M seats by previous owner. He said was pretty straightforward apart from a wee bit of messing about with coding on the passenger seat. It was either the airbag or seatbelt warning, I can’t remember which.

    Wheels, you’ll be spoilt for choice, really just down to personal preference and budget. Whatever you go for the biggest difference will be coming off the run flats. Enjoy

      Congratulations, have a look at some aftermarket wheels some nice ones around. The seats are an easy swap so long as you get like for like (i.e manual adjustment and heated), took me about two hours to swap in and out (had to swap one pre-tensioner - 10 minutes to change). Shop around the breakers or put a request on PartShark.
