Hi all,
Car: 2.5i SE manual Z4
Year: 2006 (facelift)
Mileage: 108,000
Location: Essex, UK
MOT: April 2023
Price: reduced price of£3,500 £3,350 for forum members
Full video walk around: https://youtu.be/eOdjxOrdooE
I purchased the car 12 months ago and have enjoyed some great drives during summer weekends - sadly though, I haven’t got the use out of it that I was expecting to. With the lease coming up on my main car, I’ve decided to replace both with one car and therefore the time’s come to move my Z4 onto another enthusiast. So, this presents a great opportunity for someone to benefit from a very well-cared for car that’s ready to be driven into Spring with its fresh MOT and all of the common E85 fixes taken care of for you.
Mechanics: The 2.5l straight six engine feels very fresh, delivering plenty of power and making a brilliant noise. There’s no leaks (replacement valve cover gasket fitted last month). The six speed manual gearbox feels lovely and sharp thanks to a recent gearbox oil replacement. The car drives generally beautifully - lots of care has been given and service history is comprehensive. I’ve spent £2k+ in the last year for complete peace of mind which someone else can now benefit from!
Exterior: The titan silver paintwork is generally in good condition, though it could do with some attention in a few areas. The front bumper has a scuff at the bottom and is stone chipped. Rear bumper has a couple of small scuffs and a tiny indent with small crack to the plastic lip inside the boot lid (not visible from outside). There’s no rust and underneath the car looks very clean, there is however some cosmetic corrosion around the keyhole of the bootlid. The roof is immaculate, the (rare) 202 18” alloys could do with a refurb, glass is all clean and free from scratches/chips. Tyres are all fine with 5-6mm of tread.
Interior: The black leather sports are in very good condition and are heated (lovely on chilly mornings!). Overall, it’s very presentable and a nice place to be; all electrics work as they should, including the optional rear parking sensors. The roof goes up/down smoothly and quickly every time.
Paperwork: All present and correct! V5 is included with the original BMW wallet, all handbooks for the car, a stamped service logbook and two original keys.
In the past year I’ve had the following works completed by BMW specialists, all of which can be accounted for with invoices to accompany:
- Differential replaced
- Both rear wheel bearings replaced
- Both front wishbones & bushings replaced
- Brake hoses replaced
- Both front brake callipers replaced, new discs, pads, sensors and brake fluid
- Gearbox oil replaced
- Valve cover gasket replaced
There are also many previous invoices before my ownership show that common faults such as the water pump, window mechanism, rear coil springs etc… have all be been sorted.
Full service history as follows and documented in a stamped service log:
15k oil service, 32k inspection 1, 50k oil service, 67k inspection 1, 76k inspection 2, 80k inspection 1, 93k inspection 2, 99k oil service, 106k oil service (DIY)
Thanks and please don’t hesitate to message with any questions. I can be contacted here or on 07860883392
Note: car is advertised elsewhere and at a higher price; happy to accept £3,350 from a forum member.
