This Zed was first registered on 8th March 2005 in Cumbria, has had 6 previous owners and comes with stamped service history.
The car is in good condition with a clean interior and fully working roof. It's a very late model pre-facelift with that gorgeous straight six [non-lifter-tick] M54 engine. It is 18 years old though, so not perfect. Those imperfections are as follows:
- The car of course has age related marks in places. Difficult to see at a distance being a forgiving black colour, but they are there when you look for them.
- A few scratches to the lower rear bumper.
- M Sport multi-function steering wheel isn't wired in, but will come with the official retrofit cable to install and enable full function.
- Small chip in the windscreen. Not an MOT issue.
- It’s a black car….you’d better like cleaning cars

Mileage was the real kicker for me on this car as it was low on just over 60k miles, which is roughly average 3500 miles a year. It just ticked over to 62k miles on the odometer (will increase with limited use).
The car is ULEZ compliant, currently garaged in Blackheath SE3/north Kent and comes with:
• V5 in my name
• HPI clear
• Private plate: R12 NRW
• Hardwired dash-cam (located behind mirror)
• 2 x keys
• BMW wallet with all manuals/books/stamped service book
• Folder of receipts/bills
• MOT until November 19th 2023
* Note: The Storm Motorwerks gear knob and handbrake handle will be removed and replaced with the OEM parts, as they were gifts.

I’ve tried to be as open as I can with the condition of the car. It’s a lovely pre-face lift M54 example that’s not perfect, but with some fettling (fettling I’d planned to do over time), will be a fantastic low mileage example for somebody that’s already had a lot of the mechanical heavy work and spend completed.
Price: £5250 ono
I’m interested in finding the car a new owner that will continue with the upkeep and enjoy.
Any questions, please drop me a PM.
