FOR SALE SOLD 2010 E89 35i DCT M Sport, Quaife LSD, 420bhp - £14,950

[ultramega]

I spent a long time looking for the right Z4 before finally buying this one. But with a wife, three kids and a big dog it was never going to get a lot of use. The time has come now to admit that somebody else should get the chance to enjoy it.
In excellent, well-maintained condition, and backed up with an extensive and detailed service history, this is one of the most well sorted Z4's in the country.
Despite looking standard it has some sensible under the skin improvements which take it well beyond its original capabilities:

• Quaife ATB limited slip rear differential
  Koni Special Active dampers
  VRSF downpipes
  Mishimoto intercooler
  Masata chargepipe
  Burger Motorsport Dual Cone Intake

The combination of the Koni dampers and Quaife LSD completely transform the ride, handling and grip of the car. To take advantage of this and the other modifications the car is running a MHD Stage 2+ ECU map (currently 420bhp, but can also be mapped back to stock at 305bhp). The original downpipes and intercooler are available if you wish to take the car further back to stock.

Remapping is an easy process - it can be done from an app on your phone in about 2 minutes. As well as remapping, the app also includes options to change other parameters such as exhaust valve, throttle response, idle - and will also read and clear standard OBDII engine codes.

In addition to greatly improved performance the car has had some upgrades to the interior. The steering wheel has been re-trimmed with beautiful perforated nappa leather. The factory speakers have been upgraded with BMW specific tweeters, mid-range and woofers from Hertz and Match. The original pop-up i-Drive screen has been replaced with a seamlessly integrated aftermarket touchscreen. As well as being a much clearer display this has the advantage of keeping the original i-Drive interface, but also integrating Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. The original pop-up screen is also available.

The car has been recently serviced and had new injectors, plugs, coils, various bushings and other preventative maintenance (including a salmon relay for the roof control unit - if you're looking for a Z4 make sure this has been done!). The alloys are unmarked, and the rear recently had new brake discs, pads, and a set of Michelin PS4's. The car also comes with the original silver grills, factory wind deflector, x2 keys, original owners pack and a folder full of invoices and receipts.

Car can be viewed in Livingston, Scotland.

Livingston. Sorry for not putting that in my original post, but I had pretty much just copied and pasted from my ebay advert.

Nice car. Personally I would consider getting rid of the wife and kids and keeping the car....... and the dog of course.

Good luck on the sale

Hi OP
really surprised no one has had this car yet .
Sounds stunning
Sorry to jump your post , could you tell me a bit more about the quaife LSD if you don’t mind? I’m thinking of putting one on my 35i and would love to hear more from you on how it feels on the car
Thanks in advance

Apologies for cutting across the OP's post and yours.

I've now had 2 Quaifes on my 304bhp 450 NM E89 MSport Auto and my current 400 BHP 650 NM 35is..

They are pricey but great.

Its diffcult to describe as the benefit is you don't notice anything..

No more wheelspin exiting junctions, no more strange power reductions by the ECU as it starts to get loose...you just get on and go..no worrying about loads of throttle mid corner..

On damp roads when booting it you feel a row-row action from the back as the traction gets fed across as both wheels struggle for grip..but compared to the antics without it..

If only I could get the front end to behave like the rear..

Great upgrade justa pity its so expensive..

If you need a donor diff to avoid being grounded for a few weeks then I have one for sale (that's what I did)..maybe cheaper to just take the car to them and get it done by Birds..

To the rescue again
Thanks for your information, I was pretty much sold on it BEFORE I read your post . That’s just made me want it more. Thanks so much for The positive vibes . Thanks n another note , we spoke about the pictures you posted regarding the boot lip spoiler. And I picked up on the way you had painted the valance black and colour coded the rear diffuser. Loved it so much, I just finished doing mine. It was never going to show up as much as your one because of that fantastic yellow . But I’m very happy with the results. Thanks again I’d post a picture but it seems a bit rude on this gentleman’s thread

No apology necessary! My reply was going to point out you are probably the best man to answer that question, especially as I have no experience of how the car behaves before Quaife.

Yes, I'm a bit surprised it hasn't gone yet. Not sure how much of an effect the current fuel prices have had on the market. I'm fortunate enough to not be in a hurry for the money though, so quite happy biding my time until the new owner reveals themselves.

If i were looking, that would certainly turn my head . Good luck with the sale

[john-e89]

It's the quiafe diff thats holding back the sale 100%......

Pop it to the workshop and I'll swap it for my 35i standard one and get rid of it for you.....no no....no need to thank me....it's a hassle but well.....

[Dave 2 dogs]

I was thinking of trying that stunt too John
