2.5is E85

[Zedebee]

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 2.5si facelift E85, I've owned my 2007 model since 2016 and use it as a daily driver.
Unfortunately though, I (or maybe my car) did not meet the standards to become a member of The Club Exclusive Maldives :x

Montego Blue is an excellent colour

Not a 2.5, but a 6 cylinder all the same.

Thoughts?

I have a 2.2 as my daily, but it is a manual 5-speed with close ratios (65mph in 5th is 3000rpm roughly). Cracking car for rural Norfolk roads and still has that lovely engine sound.
I am not sure whether the auto would be the same box as the bigger engines tbh?
If so, my wife's 2.5i is a very Jekyll and Hyde car. Bimble round quietly until you hit the Sport button, then it comes alive.
Whether the lesser torque of the 2.2 would affect that much I have no idea.

Driver's seat worn, steering wheel worn, 10 owners but excellent MOT. The front left headlight is discoloured. The front bumper has been repainted, no accident history, and no pictures of the engine bay. Automatic! However, the car is obviously the best colour. https://classicsworld.co.uk/guides/bmw-z4-e84-buyers-guide/

Your a better man than me no way can I tell that bumper has been resprayed, last owner since 2017, so must have a few before that with quick turnarounds

And so what if the bumper has been repainted. Better than a stone chipped one, surely?

I wouldn't worry about that too much as I prefer Montego Blue to Maldives!

You could always start a thread for the Exclusive Club Montego. :lol:

Is this yours?

No, I have a Maldives blue 2.5, the best colour. This one did catch my eye, seven previous owners and no accidents. The MOT history looks good and the hardtop is worth around £1000. Slightly tempted to buy it myself!

Just the small problem of selling my own car has put a stop to it.

Perhaps to the OP, as yours is a very sorted car. Having done a few things to my own I know how many thousands go into those refreshes. Good luck with it though
