Looking for my first Z4 - 3.0!

Post by Joshd91 » Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:34 am

Hello,
Looking to purchase my first BMW and first Zed!

I have owned a 350z before and feel it's time for a change now I have my own house and a nice garage to keep the car in.
It will be a weekend car and very well looked after as was my 350z.

So I'm looking for :
Miles: Up To 90K
Service history : Full if possible
Shape : I would prefer E85/E86 but not silver as my 350z was this and want a change :)
Engine : Has to be the 3.0 straight 6
Has to be a manual as well :D
Travel: I am based in Southampton but willing to travel for the right car.
Cosmetics : Obviously would prefer a clean car but if alloys are messed up I don't mind this to much.

Budget: Up to 10k maybe more depends on the car.

If i have missed anything let me know!

Thanks
Josh

Hi and welcome to the forum Josh. :thumbsup:

The 3.0Si is a great engine, but for some reason Roadsters are pretty rare - I think the UK got less than 1,000, including automatics! There were more E86s, but they are usually a bit dearer.

Anyway good luck with your search. :thumbsup:

Josh. My E85 has been on Autotrader for ten days at £11,750 ono. It's the black on with just shy of 27k miles. It's had a lot of work done on it over the last three months, but is one of those cars that hasn't been driven over its life. It drives excellently and I've been perfectly candid in the advert as I do not want to waste people's time. It's a great car, but needs someone much younger & fitter. Andy.

Get the coupe! Rich’s car sounds like a deal, and with only two owners!

Ps. I’m only down the road in Totton, if you want a closer look at a carbon black I’d be happy to swing by :D
