2003 E85 BMW Z4 3.0 SE Manual
Sterling Grey
3.0 M54, 6 speed manual, 143k miles
MOT until July 2025, registered June 2003, 6 previous owners
2 keys, original service book, owners manual, wallet, BMW UK original spec sheet.
V5 in my name and home address, HPI clear.
For sale is my pre-LCI Z4 which I have owned for since August 2023 and covered approx. 2k miles. I wasn’t planning to sell but my perfect spec E86 became available so that purchase is the reason I am selling. I've just had a new steering angle sensor and starter motor fitted this month.
Over my ownership the car has had its service, MOT and any other work completed at RBM. Previous to that forum member BigWinn owned the car and replaced/upgraded a significant number of major parts (all listed below inc brakes, suspension, clutch, VANOS, water pump etc).
The car is a great mechanical conditional so drives great, with many key and common maintenance items replaced and also some desirable OEM options retro fitted (electric heated sports seats, sport steering wheel, extended leather, 10 speaker system, 224s with PS5 tyres).
Externally the car is in good condition but does have a few imperfections in line with its age and mileage.
Details of the service, maintenance history and specification listed below.
