Hi Mo,
Is it still for sale? I'm quite interested. You mentioned you have a couple of invoices from previous owners, so I've got a few questions that you could perhaps help me with.
- OFHG & Oil Pan Gasket: Do any of the invoices show if the Oil Filter Housing Gasket or the oil pan/sump gasket have been replaced? Have you noticed any oil sweating down the front of the block or pooling on the plastic undertray?
- Water Pump: Is there any history of the electric water pump and thermostat being swapped out?
- Rear Diff Bush: Did you manage to sort the slight rear diff bush knock you mentioned earlier in the thread, or does that still need doing?
Hi, sorry for the late reply…just saw this. Here’s answers to your questions:
1. No receipts for these however neither are weeping/sweating. If they needed doing I would’ve done them as they are fairly easy to do.
2. No to these. I might check the pump and see if I can tell if it’s original. It’s operating fine so didnt change it. People usually change them at 60k hence since it operates fine didnt do anything with it.
3. I don’t recall saying there is a rear diff bush issue. I don’t believe it needs doing.
Thanks

Thanks for the response
Being at 103k miles I would have to take the gasket not being done and water pump into any potential offer as there are a lot of vehicles with them done in similar price ranges. Out of interest have you had any offers or people viewing the car. I'm happy to discuss further if you'd like to private message me, I would have already but I think I haven't reached the message minimum yet.

Thanks Micke
I’ve had a few people message me (here and on FB) saying that they think it’s overpriced due to XYZ reasons…..this is only my 7th Z4 so what do I know 
It’s going to go on Autotrader for sure. I was hoping an existing forum member bought it as it’s a great car, priced well and will stay in the community buy hey ho…

I’m not sure what people expect it’s a sub 5k 3.0si, that’s 20 years old!
Well by the messages I’m getting they want….new tyres, brakes, wheels, water pump, clutch, engine, gearbox, chassis…..ok maybe I lied about the last 3…
Appreciate everyone has a budget, but would advise either stick to that budget and approach sellers within your price range or take a chance and throw out your offer straight away rather than sending endless messages…

Sadly it can be hard work sometimes selling these cars, hopefully it will find a new owner soon!
