Z4 (E86) SI SE Coupe - ENDED

Post by marktjm3 » Mon Mar 20, 2023 12:52 pm

Just testing potential to sell prior to spending.

2006 / 56 plate. 69,000 miles

Not immaculate, just a good, solid example, currently in use as a daily driver and runs beautifully.

Disks & pads all round about 4,000 miles ago.

As Z4 people, you will know that it brings a smile to your face every time you turn the key.

The bad bits:

Short MOT with outstanding advisories
  • non-critical corrosion to subframe
  • A rather vague one re brake pipes - suggest partial replacement, but no loss of fluid or power.
Small 'ding' on nose - see photo (it was there when I bought it).
Misted n/s headlight
Only one key.
Aircon needs gas.

Oh, and it's absolutely useless as dog transport, hence the pressure to sell

Looking for £7,450 as is. Happy to answer any questions or send more photos/info - bearing in mind I'm definitely not a mechanic.

Plan B is to spend the money & suggest to the wife that we should keep it having splashed out.

That would be a very fair price for a sub-70k coupe. Buyers will want to know where the car is and what is it’s service history, number of former keepers and what options it has. GLWTS.

Thank you - valid points

It's in Hampshire (Hampshire Surrey border)

7 former keepers

7 dealer service stamps

Will have to research extras, no idea what's extra & what is standard TBH

Suggest you address that condensation buildup in the nearside headlamp before it becomes an issue as that will be a few hundered quid to fix in itself.
If it's a xenon and the condensate forms a pool it will trickle down into the ballast and frazzle it...if it hasn't already...?

I'd definitely go for Plan B myself! I just hope you get permission. :thumbsup:

From your photos it looks like you have Sat-Nav, Multi-Function Steering Wheel, after-market rear parking sensors and possibly cup-holders.
Coupes because stunning!
