Wanted

As per the title, I am putting the feelers out and will be looking for a Z4 E89, probably in around 4 weeks time.

I posted my current situation on here when I joined - I'm waiting for my driving licence to be returned from DVLA after I suffered a seizure last year. I spoke to them yesterday, and apparently they have got all the information/medical forms etc I'd sent, but now I need to submit a D1 application form, which they hadn't told me about (VERY annoying!). After I receive that from them, and send it back with a postal order (What? 😂) and a passport photo, they estimate it will take approx 3 weeks to issue the new licence.

Anyway, my wish list for the Z4 includes the following:

An E89 with manual gearbox, as new as possible (maybe 2014-ish), and in minty mint condition. Not bothered about engine size/number of cylinders, but must be low mileage and FSH. Any colour except black, any interior colour except brown or beige, any wheel design but preferably not black, and a fully working roof. Prefer to avoid CAT S or CAT N if possible.

Desirable extras to include large screen nav and iDrive twiddly knob thingy (oooer missus!) if possible. A reversing camera or distance sensors front and rear would be good. Other than that, I think most E89's have got everything else I need as standard (y)

My budget is under £10K, but preferably around £8K or less if possible. There seems to be plenty available in that price range for sale, and I'd be happy to travel a reasonable distance from Peterborough for the right car.

For guidance, I was watching a lovely 2016 Valencia Orange E89 with 62K miles on eBay recently, up for offers around £6999. Unfortunately, the seller decided to sell via We Buy Any Car in the end, so I missed out on that one.

Anyone on the forum likely to have a suitable car up for sale in about 4 weeks time? Feel free to PM me, or just post comments on here if preferred.

Cheers ☺️

My Valencia Orange 18i could go for £8,000 - it's a 2015 car with the Design Pure Traction but no iDrive or PDC.

I'm the 3rd owner and it's just had a full comprehemsive service & MOT - the reg is G9 AUK and there is a full ownership thread on the ZRoadster forum
