Z4 E85 3.0si sport manual

Post by RMB » Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:45 am

Hi,
I’m on the lookout for a manual 3.0si sport roadster please.
Must be in good condition with good history and Oem or Oem plus.
Colour wise, one of the blues or carbon black, space or silver grey.
Not silver, yellow or other blacks.
Not fussed about nav, dash looks cleaner without.
Mileage not an issue as long as full service history and receipts present.
I’m on the south coast, Dorset.
Many thanks
Rich

Just a heads up Rich but you might need to be lucky/patient/willing to travel as only 695 manual 3.0Si Roadsters were registered in the UK, and that includes SE models. So when you start to have colour preferences your options may become somewhat limited!

You might find this database a forum member compiled useful:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html

Good luck anyway. :thumbsup:

Z4 E85 3.0si sport manual

Post by RMB » Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:46 pm

😂 thanks guys, happy to queue and wait for the (second) great example.
I really loved Lynch’s car but finally had funds and it was gone.
Just been over to a dealer to look at a 2.5i Si, probably just to see an example, but it had already been reserved.
I’m sure the reservers will be as disappointed as me, it was a bit tatty and not as described. Scratches and scuffs plus three Pirelli’s and a Serbian ditch finder, etc etc.
Luckily it was quite local and a nice day for a spin.

Thanks Mr Tidy, yes I have found that website before, as I’ve been lurking on here a while. What a great resource. Where are all the Montego blues 52, Monaco and midnight 80 total, or other carbon Schwartz 28 hiding??

Everyone on here sounds like a really great bunch and I must get round to a proper intro and get down to beulieu or preferably something sooner in Dorset.

RMB - the first one I was checking out was an insurance write off, so there will be many disappointments on the way I fear.

And just see my cause as foreign aid really, John is just clogfobic :P

Is there a register on here or any other way I can easily find a list of cars for future?

You mean the dodgy ones? There isn't, but sometimes people post their review of ones they have seen.

I have messaged him loads of questions but no reply as yet.

I wonder if autotrader messaging doesn’t work, I never seem to get a reply.

What black does it look like?

Edit according to that really great French database, imola rot bi colour and piano black trim there was only 1 and its black sapphire.
Unless it had a swap like lynchys one (I think).

Edit 2. Can I find the vin (and so the spec) from the reg?

Looks black Sapphire to me, can't see any hues of red in the pics.
