Z4MC - Silver Grey - Imola-Red Leather - CSLs - Gruppe M - B12 Kit - 66K Miles

Post by Iggy » Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:12 pm

I already know that this will be one I regret selling for a long time, but I want to move my life on a bit which sadly requires it to go. It took a lot of searching before I found this one. What stood out was what I’d consider perfect service history with documentation to back it up (including valve clearance sheets), enthusiast owners that cared for it meticulously in the past, the tasteful mods, and the great colour combo. It surprised me how difficult it was to find one that was serviced properly and was well documented.

The car’s been an utter joy from my very first drive. It’s certainly an experience! From the way it looks to the responsiveness and power of the S54, to the roar of the Gruppe M, it’s just brilliant. Coming from a 3.0Si I was blown away by what a different beast this is. With the mods I think it’s as close to a perfect MC as it gets, hence why I’ve decided to sell it with them instead of selling them separately. The original 224 alloys, original airbox, and the original suspension (minus one rear spring I believe) are all included in the sale.

Mainly used for fun and road trips. I’ve done nearly 10K miles in it but I’d say at least two thirds of that was motorway. Engine religiously warmed up to proper temperature before giving it the beans. The car was driven as intended and many beans were given. The zed’s been very reliable and solid in my ownership. I recently came back from a 4.5K mile Euro trip with zero issues and had complete faith in the car throughout. The Swiss toll sticker is still on the windscreen to save the new owner €40 if they want to go for a blast in the alps this year 😉

This MC has great provenance and has been a forum car for at least 7 years, possibly longer. This was important to me so I thought I’d reference the previous owners below:

Previous Forum Owners
Muckinonthesofa (2016 - 2021) - viewtopic.php?p=1343896#p1343896
Mitch312 (2016) - viewtopic.php?t=83592
TGS (2015-2016) – viewtopic.php?p=1099107#p1099107

I believe the owner before this was on the forum too based on other threads referencing this car (viewtopic.php?t=73487&start=45)

The car was sold as Approved Used by a BMW dealer in 2015 and by Knight’s Garage in 2016 who was a Z4 specialist known to only stock the best examples.

Recently had an inspection 1 (with valve clearance) and a fresh MOT so ready to go! Truly (and foolishly!) no expense spared on maintenance.

Specs
- Mileage: 66,000, rising slightly as still in use
- Build date: 04/06, registered 12/06
- Colour: Silver-grey (A08)
- Interior: Imola-red Nappa leather seats and door cards, carbon-structure leather trim
- Electric, heated M seats with 'M' embossed on the headrests
- Bi-Xenon headlights, as standard on all Ms
- 10-speaker Professional DSP HiFi system and 6-disc cd-changer
- Sat nav
- Rear parking sensors
- Bluetooth phone integration
- Cup holders
- Storage package with additional netting

General Info
- I purchased it in May 2021 at 56,700 miles
- 7 former keepers on the V5, with the first being BMW for the initial 6 months
- Comes with 3 keys – 2 regular, one plastic, original manuals, service book and leather pouch, plus a folder full of paperwork and receipts
- Was on a private plate but now back on the original plate – YE56OPR
- Located in Surrey

Other Maintenance Items In My Ownership
07/05/2021 - New battery - S5 008 Bosch, 77Ah Type 096
12/08/2021 - 59,182 - Replaced rear brake lines with custom copper ones. Replaced washer pump
30/03/2022 - 61,110 - Replaced front brake discs and pads. Replaced front mid-pipe with cat due to crack around flanges. Replaced rear exhaust brackets
22/07/2022 - 65,434 - 4-wheel alignment to M3 CSL spec

Modifications
- Stubby!
- CM Wheels 19” CSL reps in shadow chrome, all four in perfect condition
- Michelin Pilotsport 4s tyres all around with plenty of tread left
- Gruppe M intake with an Eventuri air scoop – the sound is addictive!
- Vibra-technics engine mounts – tightens up the drive train and improves transmission feel
- Bilstein B12 kit – far more stable than stock and sits a little lower. An essential upgrade in my opinion
- ZHP gear knob
- Intravee + Aux input
- CDV delete

Bodywork, Cosmetic, And Other Tweaks
- Just had the rear & front bumpers resprayed. The front had the fangs restored as they’d worn down a little
- Two of the alloys have just been refurbed due to some minor scrapes. All 4 are now perfect
- Headlights have just been professionally polished and sealed
- Replaced M-badge stickers with very high-quality ones from Never Done (http://www.donewhenimdead.com/garage/stripereplacement)
- Replaced front BMW badge
- Replaced M door sills
- Fitted an extended clutch stop from Rob's Clutch Stop Shop on ebay
- Genuine BMW wheel centre caps and M stickers
- Neochrome wheel bolts
- Changed LED interior lights back to stock as I hate the harsh white LED light in a car

Overall paint and body work condition is very good to excellent. Front and rear bumpers are now perfect. There are two small spots of lacquer chipping - one on the bonnet (now protected with some clearcoat) and one on the passenger side front wing. The passenger side skirt has a few small chips - possibly caused by a stone or similar – in front of the rear wheel. These have been there for years and I never really paid attention to them. Also, there's a small scratch on the hatch below the rear window. There are some swirl marks all around so a quick polish would be of benefit. There’s also the tiniest dent above the rear driver’s side wheel arch – would take a PDR man a few minutes to sort but it’s not really noticeable unless you’re really anal like me - can't even see it in the photos. All four wheels are in perfect condition and the exhaust tips have been polished recently.

Included In The Sale
- Original 224 alloys, with tyres. They’re usable but in need of a refurb. The rear tyres’ tread is getting low and one of them appears to have a slow-leaking puncture. Michelin PS4s all around
- Original airbox
- Original shocks and springs, minus one spring
- Brand new OEM air scoop
- Car cover
- Brand new, genuine rear BMW badge
- Interior LED lights
- Original clutch stop
- Brand new steering wheel trim, bought straight from the dealer but never fitted

Points To Address In The Medium Term
- Recent MOT had a couple of advisories (the one time I didn’t ask for a pre-MOT check) for the ARB ball-joint dust covers on both sides
- Small oil leaks around timing chain tensioner and constant pressure valve – have been told this is an easy and relatively inexpensive fix, and is not at all urgent
- Front tie rods are seized and need replacing so steering wheel is slightly off being fully straight


Asking for £23K ono, which I think is fair considering the maintenance history, mods, mileage and the fact that you know what you’re getting. Not on sale anywhere else just yet. Would really love for it to go to a fellow enthusiast and forum member.

Thanks for looking!

Sorry to see you are selling Iggy. :(

Yours is a great example of an MC, as I found out when it was parked next to mine at the Ace Cafe last year (as in one of your photos)!

I hope you don't miss it too much and GLWTS. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mr Tidy!

I really wish I could keep it forever. Had too many second thoughts already but it must go...
Was a pleasure being parked next to you at the Ace :thumbsup:

I think OE ones are all 18s. AFAIK they were only ever fitted to E85/86 Ms. And Iggy says he'll be letting them go with the car, unless the buyer doesn't want them!

And a quick "Hi" to M1k3yC. :thumbsup:

I hope Iggy's car goes to a forum member.

Hey M1k3yC! Yeah, it was a very nice one I seem to remember. Glad you spotted the pic :thumbsup:

They're 18"
Though as Mr Tidy says, I am looking to sell them with the car as it stands.

A quick bump to say the car will be going up on Autotrader in the next few days but would still prefer for it to go to a forum member...

Yep, still for sale. Just sent you a private message with my phone number. I know you need at least 3 forum posts to send a PM but hopefully not to read one. Let me know if you don't see it :thumbsup:
