E85 Z4 3.0 manual stunning condition

patch · Post by **patch** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:51 pm

Hello guys, well after a year or so of ownership I can’t ignore the fact that I’d love to own a coupe. Which brings us to the advert here.

I have owned the car for almost a year and it’s been a pleasure to drive. It was purchased from a nice chap called Jamie who also was/ is also on here.

The car itself is a 2003 3.0 manual. It is currently on 79k and will rise slightly on and nice dry sunny days. It has a full service history, and had an oil and filter change only 500 miles ago. I will add some more pictures of history and paperwork as there really is so much to list. Body work and interior are both in fantastic condition, alloys are only a year old and as such look new. The car has wanted for absolutely nothing and this can be seen. It flew through its last MOT with no advisories in October. Has recently had a full alignment and wheel balance and seat belt tensioner. Lots of new preventative parts replaced and roof motor is also located in the boot.

As already said above I'm after a nice example of a coupe, so if anyone is thinking of changing with summer coming up etc please let me know.

Please feel free to ask questions and I’ll be happy to answer, my contact number is 07715548191 and the car is located just outside Peterborough in Yaxley.

Car is now priced lower than before at £5800.

im sure nobody has mentioned anything because its a good advert of a nice example of an early zed but imho the price is a little top heavy, we are now seeing 3.0si at less than this and even the odd e89 dropping into 6k. Glwts

Thanks both for the input, of course I am open to sensible offers. The car is a stunning example, any potential buyer will be happy I'm sure. It's been maintained to a very high standard and wants for nothing.

Lovely example and looks to be well looked after but as Mr Tourette rightly points out the price is very optimistic especially at this time of year. I picked up my 2004 3.0L SE with 75k and full history. All the preventative maintenance completed for £3850 last May. We have also seen examples of similar year and mileage go for much less than 6k on this forum. If you can hold out till the spring when everyone is pissed off at staying in doors you might stand a better chance of getting near your asking price. GLWTS and again lovely example.

Thanks, if I end up holding on to the car come spring/ summer it certainly won’t be a disappointment. The price is high for model and year however the condition of the car reflects this. I am as stated also open to offers. Prices of Z4’s including coupe’s appear all over the place at the moment but we do live in strange times.

I have to say it’s got a very impressive MOT history and nice set of rims

It certainly lives a pampered life

I actually think its only slightly above what its worth and I would have done exactly what OP has done, put it up for what I want and see if anyone bites.

I bought my 2004 3.0i SE (74k) in August for £4400 in good (but not great) condition with a fair few things needing to be done. Have spent just over a grand on it since updating bits and improving the general condition. If this Z4 needs nothing doing to it, its almost on par with what I have spent on mine. Therefore, I wouldn't have been out of pocket at all.

GLWS!

(Oh, and those wheels work really well with the colour)

Is this still for sale please?

patch · Post by **patch** » Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:34 am

I had decided against selling the car and though instead i would just enjoy it.

However i'm happy to talk if you are genuinly interested.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, my car is now up for sale again. I decided to withdraw the car some months ago as it was clearly the wrong time of year for me to be selling and with covid restrictions it made things difficult for everyone.

So, the car turned over 81k yesterday, it had a change of coolant last week and also a new roundel from BMW as the old was was showing its age. I also purchased a brand new set of genuine mats to freshen it up, the old ones looked past their best.
