E85 Z4 3.0 Si

Post by samuir1974 » Fri Sep 15, 2023 3:00 pm

Hi All,

Back on the forum again after a 2 year Audi spell and looking for my 3rd Z4 purchase.... :driving:

Myself and the wife love these cars and between other commitments, family life and such.... really enjoy soft top ownership.

Last Z4 was the 2006 2.5Si... so wondering if we can get hold of a 3.0Si this time, similar vintage.
Ideally the wife would like an Auto box to assist with her daily commute, but not essential.

Decent history and obvious signs of a cared for and well serviced example would be appreciated.
Ideally pretty sorted and ready to drive and enjoy...

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely - already PM'd on that one - but looks like there is an orderly queue for this Martin's example.

Appreciate the comment. :thumbsup:

Shame it has sold - unless it was to you!

Going by this database the UK only got 963 E85 3.0Sis and only 268 were Autos:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html

But if your search continues good luck. :thumbsup:

I know you stated E85 3.0Si, but would an E89 with the same engine fit the bill:- viewtopic.php?t=143764

Thanks for the comments guys....

Definitely e85 preferred and 3.0Si / Auto.

Appreciate the links shared and pointing out alternatives.
Have to admit - love the colour combo on Eddie's 2.5Si..... stunning

Would you consider a 3.0i (54 plate) auto?

I have a silver one for sale 97k miles. Well looked after and previous forum car.

Thanks,

Scott
