WANTED: Z4 Roadster, 2.5 Silver/Grey/Black

Post by doogle83 » Mon Jan 02, 2012 9:49 pm

Hi guys,

As per my other thread, I'm currently in the market for a pre facelift Zed.

I'm looking for sub 60k miles really as I'll be putting on a few myself, really want to get heated seats as a minimum and I'm not a fan of red leather! :lol: ...but I'm not overly fussed about the rest. Electric mirrors, steering wheel controls and wind deflector would be a bonus.

Must be a manual as well.

I'm based in Reading but work towards High Wycombe.

Cheers! :)

There's a Black 2.2 for sale on here with only 27k on the clock. Might be worth a look if you're not fussed over the extra 27hp.... :thumbsup:

Thanks Adamski, had a look already but I really am after the bigger engine and heated seats.

Budget is around £6-7k but depends on the car. Found a couple of '04 3 liters and a facelift 2.5 today for around £8k with warranty that I may try to see at the weekend.

If you're after power, the 3.0i has a noticeable amount more than the 2.5i. I test drove both before I bought mine, I'm glad I went for the 3.0i ;)

Running costs aren't much higher on the 3.0i either. As you can tell I'm not at all biased :lol:

Good luck with the search, keep looking, you'll get your perfect zed :thumbsup:

The 2.2 model is no Slouch, it's been no troble keeping up with the Big boy's when out on a forum run. I have had it on a dyno with a results of just under 180 bhp which is 17 bhp less than the 2.5
Fuel is good aswell, a trip down to Germany last year returned 37 mpg

But if it is a 3lt you wont go for it. good luck with your hunt

Thanks for the help guys. Maxum, your car does look great but as I plan to have the top down as much as possible I'm definitely after heated seats and I'm thinking now... the 3 ltr engine :)

Ironically, it'd cost me about 30% less on insurance for a 2004 3.0 than it would a 2.5 facelift?!

Jonnyfive, appreciate the offer but I've lined up a ride in a colleagues 3.0 at lunch tomorrow ...weather permitting! :lol: not ideal weather for car shopping but I'm sure I'll get there in the end!
