New member saying hi

Deadlysub · Post by **Deadlysub** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 8:56 pm

Hi all, I signed up to the forum today after looking for a Z over the last couple of weeks.

Brief bit about me, I’m based on the Wirral and have owned lots of performance cars over the years including a VX220, Civic Type R etc my last BMW was an M135i which I bought new in 2015.

I’ve made the decision to go to a two car garage recently, I have a very sensible (read boring) Audi A4 as a daily and I’m on the hunt for a Z4 Coupe for my fun car, I’ve loved the coupe since they came out.

I would rather buy private so I can talk to the owner but I’m open to purchasing through a dealer.

I’m looking forward to contributing to the forum.

Hey Deadlysub welcome to the forum, you've made a good decision in choosing to hunt down a coupe. Is there any coupe that you prefer, Z4mc, sport spec or se spec? Auto or manual, your budget? Could help narrow it down and also help other members help you too. Happy hunting

I’m after a manual Si coupe, budget around £12k.

Not bothered about colour and want to buy on condition.

Bit over the budget you stated though…

That does look an excellent one. 51K miles and spot on service history

I agree it’s a lovely example but very strong money for a private sale.

Looks a nice example, very well spec’d! Personally I’m not a fan of red leather, but that’s just me!

I’m not too familiar with possible N52 issues, but I know the water pump is a weak point and can be expensive to replace. At 60k might consider it as preventative if not done or something to bargain with?
