Next service is showing as due in 11,900 miles.

Lots of history for the vehicle, I bought back in Oct ‘23 and have only covered about 1-2k miles as I have a company car for daily duties. I had planned on keeping this long term but find myself lucky enough to finally buy my realistic dream car - an E92 M3 comp - which I have just done.

The car is a solid example of a well maintained, non-modified Z4.

There is a small patch on the driver side door armrest which has cracked and worn, never bothered me enough to smart repair. One of the cupholders is missing its faceplate, I ordered this from BMW last year but it’s still on back order. Will be posted out to the next owner if it doesn’t arrive before then!

Test drives are welcome if you have insurance cover.

Located in Guildford, Surrey.

Price is £8,495 ONO, happy to answer any questions via PM/whatsapp

Priced reduced to £9,250.

Mileage won’t be increasing much now as my new car has arrived so it’ll be parked up shortly, after one last drive down to the coast!

OMG - just noticed this advert. I photographed this car parked on the woodbridge road recently!

Nice!

I'm new to E86 ownership and would have popped across town to look at this if you'd advertized it a few weeks earlier.

Small world! What do you have now then? Yeah it occasionally ends up out there when parking is particularly bad!

Black E86 with red leather was what I ended up with... but very much the cheaper end of the range due to high mileage, TLC needed and a couple of known mechanical issues.

Every so often I like to take a walk, and Andertons gets a visit from me from time to time as well... on Friday I took a stroll and saw your new car (I know nothing about 3 series), and took a look at your coupe close up... for anyone reading this I spotted about 3 or 4 external / aesthetic defects, all of which you might regard as trivial or very trivial... not perfect but pretty close.

We looked at houses near you when looking and the parking was one of the main reasons we ended up elsewhere in Guildford.

Few more photos, the weather isn’t helping my cause though!

There is a bit of wear to the drivers side bolster, undoubtedly not helped by myself as I struggle to get in and out after back surgery last year, but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed in an afternoon.

Alloys are in good condition, and though un-kerbed, are not flawless and have normal age related wear.

This is not a show car, but IMHO is better than expected for a 17 year old car.

Approaching bargain territory.
Have you really got 12/15mm spacers on there, it doesn’t look like it (in the top photos)? Maybe it’s the unusual colour of the wheels playing tricks.

Yeah they’re definitely on there, went with 12/15 so there’s no possibility of rubbing, wheels look lost without them IMHO.

I’ve taken a walk around video which shows the small mark on the rear quarter, can send it on to any potential viewers, the car is near perfect condition bar this mark and a few usual age related bits.

Photos added showing it up close, from normal viewing and how clean the doors/quarter is other than that.

That looks like one hell of a bargain for someone.

Don't sell it too cheap or it will reflect on the others out there.

Certainly does look like a good buy 🙂 I do wonder if the wheels with the darker outer edge are not helping 🤔

I have to agree I'm not the biggest fan of the wheels... but the car is very clean from the outside (source : my own eyes, in person!) and I wouldn't let the wheels put me off a purchase. In terms of easy things to do at a price you can predict, and that can totally change the car and make it your own... yeah, nice if the car comes with great wheels in perfect nick that you love...

I sold my B3 to a garage recently and on the day of drop off, a chap was trading his 3.0si (with a few styling mods) in for a Z4M. They have put it up for just shy of £14k and at a similar age/mileage, this makes the OP's vehicle seem like a bit of a bargain.
