For private sale is my E86 Z4 Coupe 3.0 si

Image

The car left the Spartanburg production plant in July 2007 and was first registered in the UK in October of that year.

The car has 6 speed manual transmission and the naturally aspirated N52B30 engine with the black cover.
Paint is Black Sapphire metallic.

A walk around video of the car is available via this link:

https://youtu.be/9O8zZ-sy_xI

The car has many desirable options.
These include:

M-Sport suspension
18" 108 style split rim alloys

Individual leather upholstery ~ New England / Imola, chrome line finishing with anthracite roof lining
M-Sport heated seats (with memory function on driver's)
M leather multifunction steering wheel

Bi Xenon self adjusting headlights (with washer system)
Rear park distance sensors
Cruise Control
Rain sensing automatic wipers
Automatic air conditioning
HiFi system Business with CD player and auxiliary 3.5mm jack input

The coupe has a K&N air filter and a ZHP gear knob.

The VRN is YC57 CXY
Mileage at the time of writing is 91194.
I have two HPI certificates, dated 2018 and 2019, which state there is no outstanding finance, no mileage discrepancy and no insurance write off.

Image

Image

MOT history is good.
It has 10 pass certificates and only two failures. The failures were in 2010 because of tyres and in 2018 because of tyres and a worn o/s front suspension bush.
The next test is due in January 2023.

Image

Image

Image

Recent maintenance history, with receipts available:

June 2022
** All four dampers have been renewed with genuine Sachs BMW M-Sport specification parts, including top mounts **
This transformed the ride quality and road holding.

Replaced front exhaust studs and bracket
Renewed front lower suspension wishbone arm bushes

Renewed engine oil & filter, gearbox oil and differential oil, with BMW approved Fuchs lubricants
Replaced all screw plugs and their gaskets
Replaced rocker cover gasket

Handbrake adjusted, drum cleaned and lubricated

September 2021
The car had replacement rear discs and pads, supplied by Brembo
The oil cooler seal was replaced as part of preventative maintenance

January 2021
The car had replacement front discs and pads, supplied by Brembo

All discs, pads and brake lines are in very good condition.
Coil springs are also good, with only superficial surface corrosion.

The alloy wheels have been refurbished by a previous owner and are in excellent, unmarked condition.
Tyres are Bridgestone Potenza S001.
There is 5.4mm of tread on the front, and 4.4mm tread depth at the rear.

Image

Image

Image

There are no fault codes indicated by diagnostic scan.

The interior is in clean condition. I shampooed the carpets, including the boot liner, last month.

Image

Points to note:
* The paintwork has surprisingly few swirls but it does have stone chips and blemishes commensurate with its age and mileage. *
There is play in the dual-mass flywheel. This is audible at hot idle only, not when underway. It can be heard at switch-off. Please search the forum for much discussion of this common issue.
There is minor windscreen damage that is not a MOT concern. (Please see the photo of this.)
There is some cosmetic wear to the steering wheel finish.
The driver's side carpet mat has some marks.

Image

I am happy to answer all questions, either here or by private message.
The coupe lives in South Wales, very near to Cardiff Airport.
It's approximately 20 minutes drive from Junction 33 of the M4.
Genuine enquiries and inspections are welcome.
If you would like a test drive, please bring along evidence of insurance to drive vehicles other than your own. Thanks.

I also have a bundle of items for sale, that the new owner may wish to purchase.
These are: Creator C310+ diagnostic scanner (new), Pierburg water pump (new), Wahler thermostat (new), Starline anti-roll bar links (new), BMW spacesaver spare wheel (unused), BMW scissor jack to fit.
The price is £450.

The car gets many compliments. If you're in the market for an E86, please get in touch.
Thanks,
John.

Thank you.
I'm going to give the purchaser first option on the parts and tools bundle.
If they don't go with the car, I'll list them in the related goods section.

Great looking car and a very good ad.
It would nearly tempt me back in to a coupe.

Looks lovely. It shouldn’t hang around, but it will. You should get it on some other sales channels to maximise chance of success. I haven’t seen a coupe sold on the forum for a while and you may have noticed there are several available.

I have noticed, Ben. Your coupe looks very smart. Monaco Blue and bronze MV1 is a great combination - and it's been looked over by RBM.
My car is advertised elsewhere.

Thanks :thumbsup: . I must get around to it too; perhaps I’m reluctant to sell.

Please take a look at a walk-around video of the coupe:

https://youtu.be/9O8zZ-sy_xI

You'll see how well presented, clean and straight the car is.

(I have a higher resolution version for interested members.)

New Sachs M-Sport dampers all round.
Very good service and MOT history.
