2006 3.0si Sport Coupe

Post by Thierry » Fri Aug 20, 2021 10:20 pm

Hi all,

I've had quite a few private messages about this today after replying to a wanted ad that I'd be putting my coupe up for sale and then an old for sale ad being revived.

Advert and photos (taken today) below. Ben got in first and is viewing on Sunday. Paul is next in line, then Zach.

*****
Price: £9,000, no offers.

With a heavy heart I'm putting my Z4 Coupe up for sale. I bought it from a forum member back in 2012 on 47k miles after a long search for the perfect spec, travelling from London to Newcastle to pick it up. Was worth it for the drive home.

I stubbornly kept hold of it after having a child 2 years ago but I've managed just 1,000 miles in that time and we had another baby in May so the chances of me using it over the next few years are slim to none. (If anyone can recommend a fun 4-seater then let me know, I'm currently thinking a Mini JCW)

I'm based in Redhill, Surrey, and not interested in p/x. Please point out any information I miss in the advert, it's 9 years since I last sold a car.

• Registered 02/06/2006 (06 Reg)
• 88,900 Miles (approx.)
• MOT’ed untill 18/08/22 (no advisories)
• Metallic Silver Grey
• 3.0lt Straight 6 Cylinder Engine (265bhp)
• 6 Speed Manual Gearbox
• Sport Button
• M Sport Suspension
• Dream Red Leather Heated Electric M Sport Seats (Inc. 3 position memory on drivers seat)
• Aluminium Interior Trim
• Chunky M Sport Leather Multi-Function S/Wheel
• BMW Professional Satellite Navigation
• BMW HiFi System Professional (10 Speakers) Inc. 6 CD Changer
• Bluetooth Phone Preparation
• Xenon Headlights Inc. Washers
• Automatic Air Conditioning
• Parking Distance Control (rear sensors)
• Automatic Lights
• Automatic Windscreen Wipers
• Extended Storage Pack
• Electrically Adjustable Heated Mirrors
• Auto dim interior mirror
• On-board Computer
• Remote Central Locking
• Hill Start Assist

Non-standard
• 19” Riva DTM Alloys (Staggered) on Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (only covered c.3k miles)
• Stubby (I have the original)
• ZHP gearknob (think I have the original somewhere)
• 2x working cupholders :-)

Service history and other common items below. The water pump and thermostat have been replaced as a preventative measure, and the alternator was also recently replaced. Only bad points are:
• light curbing on one alloy (see photo).
• the satnav doesn't know where it is - I understand this is a relatively easy fix to get a new GPS sensor but the satnav is pretty poor so I haven't bothered.
• some minor scratches and stone chips (I think it's in good condition for a 15 year old / 89k mile car).

When Mileage Service Who
Aug-07 12,700 Oil Service BMW Blackheath
Aug-08 22,300 Brake Fluid BMW Blackheath
May-10 31,400 Inspection I BMW Blackheath

Other items
When Mileage What
Aug-16 77,500 Rear springs
Aug-17 82,800 Front Brakes and Pads
Dec-17 84,000 New Battery
Apr-18 85,200 Water Pump & Thermostat (preventative)
May-18 85,300 19" Riva DTM Alloys + Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres
Dec-18 87,300 Replace Alternator
Apr-21 88,600 Replaced front springs, top mounts and drop links
Jul-21 88,900 Replaced brake pipe (past MOT advisory)

Price is a firm £9,000 - I think that's a fair ask given the recent work done and current market. If I don't get that then I'll just keep it in the garage on trickle charge.

Thanks for looking,
Henry

Lovely interior with the red leather and cirrus trim. A well priced and well looked after coupe, I’d say.

Car sold after almost 10 very happy years. Ben (Baelle6) was a pleasure to deal with and felt good to sell to another enthusiast. I hope the drive back to Shropshire is as enjoyable as mine was back from Newcastle 10 years ago, at least once you're off the M25 anyway :driving:

Enjoy it, and I look forward to seeing your E85 up for sale when the sun is back out.

Thanks for the interest to those who replied and/or PM'd me - hope you find a cherished example. I hope to be back in a z4 one day but now it's time to start the painful search for a fun 4-seater.
