I have to sell my beloved Z4 as I'll be moving to Germany in February. I'd much rather it goes into the hands of a forum member who will cherish it, so I'll hold of posting it on AutoTrader for a week or so. This is the advert:
BMW Z4 2.5i SE Convertible (e85), 81000 miles, extensive service history, manual, petrol - £7,000 ONO - based in London (SW16)

Service History:
I had planned to keep the car for a long time, so I always ensured that it is in very good mechanical condition. The car is in top condition now and is lovely to drive. The last 10,000 miles looked like this in terms of servicing:
- 80,060 miles: New Battery
- 78,775 miles: DISA valve replacement, new spark plugs and ignition coil
- 77,061 miles: Replace roof seal to fix wind noise
- 76,299 miles: Roof motor relocation and wiper motor repari (both known issues, now taken care of); Cooland & Break Fluid Change
- 76,105 miles: Oil service
- 74,500 miles: Brake pads and front disks
- 74,423 miles: Changed gearbox and differential oil
- 73,290 miles: Oil service
- 70,000 miles: New water pump
- Regular servicing previous to that
Highlights Summary (in my view):
- Great condition for age (mechanically and optically)
- Low milage
- Beautiful and rare colour combination
- Great fun on the back roads (car is quick and engine sounds awesome!)
- Great Service History and MoT until the end of the year
- The car is all original and luckly escaped the boy racers
The not-so-perfect bits:
- There is some curbing damage on the alloy wheels
- While the car's paint is in great condition, there are some minor scratches on the car. There are also some larger (but not very noticeable) scratches on the bumpers from people who are incompetent at parking.
- Little bit of wear on the driver seat bolster, however, no cracks or anything like that!
- Probably needs new tyres in the next few thousand miles
- (All things that are normal for a car of that age)
Performance:
- 0-60 in 7.1 sec
- 174 bhp in-line 6 cylinder (naturally aspirated)
- 139 mph top speed (tested on the Autobahn)
Please ignore the terrible fake M-badges - they have now gone
