Some bodywork damage as per pictures
Oil leak - looks like from valve cover - easy fix
Rear brake grabbing - needs investigating

Will only be up for sale until 31/4/24 after which I will fix and sell for a higher price. I’m busy finishing off another project so offering this out there for someone.

Location and service history will be useful to interested parties too.

If the parking brake light stays amber when the brake is off, then those four lights would mean an ABS sensor on one of the wheels. A decent code reader should tell you which one.
However, first you would need to check all the tyres and reset the tyre pressure sensor.
If the tyre warning one then goes out you are in murkier waters (yaw sensor, pressure sensors or even the ABS unit) - Read the codes.

I'd also suggest a tetanus booster before you start cleaning that passenger seat.

The interior does need a good clean…I agree.

Re: lights - will need some investigating. I’m quite happy to look into it late next week when I’ve got time, I just need to finish off a few bits on my 650i. I’m not overly worried about what the issue is…most parts are available and not too expensive. This is my third z4 now so getting used to them.

Cat N was for an accident in 2017. I have no details of this but may be available on car vertical.

If you know it’s a category car you should have put this in the description to start with.
How long have you had the car?

 

[Mo996]

Oops oversight on my part. Not looking to withhold any info intentionally.

Happy to answer any more questions. Anyone interested send me a pm, I will give you call and we can have a chat…can do a video call for those that are too far away and want to see/hear it.

Cheers

I’ve just popped out to take a look at what’s grabbing at the back and it appears the car either has an LSD or a welded diff. The handbrake and callipers are not and issue though handbrake shoes probably need doing…

I’m guessing this car was probably owned by a drifter who ran out of money and talent

This is certainly not a car for everybody as you’d need some decent mechanical skills to put it right.

Be mind full of car was in a police chase in Hampshire rammed police after getting cort driftingwith no plates after car was found had both front wheels touchingback of wing damaged rear right arm and coolant was still coming out, after being given to new owner they had done engine in drinks oil drinks water stearing wasn't the same gear box is a ticking time bomb rear diff is welded main beam dosnt work last owner didn't care I was gonna buy this my self until a friend at silverlake steared me away after telling me the history, clutch isn't good and has been crashed multiple times needs 2 driveshafts the list goes on, owner of car needs to take back to auction

 

[Mo996]

Sounds like that car should be broken down for parts!!

 

[Mo996]

Ok so I managed to spend a bit of time on this car and have fixed all its issues. Work that I’ve done includes:
Brand new tyres all round
Oil flushed, oil replaced and oil filter changed
New plugs
New valve cover gasket
New Air filter
New rear pads
New expansion tank
Differential replaced and oil changed
Brake fluid flushed
Coolant flushed
Interior and exterior deep cleaned - carpets cleaned thoroughly
Roof cleaned and treated
Minor aesthetic changes including painted yellow brake callipers, yellow radiator guard bars
New windscreen installed as I cracked the old one

It’s booked in for a mot on 5/6/24 so will come with 12 months mot.

I’ve been driving it around town and it drives really well, lovely pops and bangs on over run.

Lots of work went into this, it’s not concourse but is a sorted fast roadster for not too much money. Price £2850. No rush to sell as I’m quite enjoying it.

Forgot to mention, n/s front and rear wings have been changed for colour matched second hand parts. Bumpers have some scuffing which I haven’t done anything about as may switch out with second hand parts when a colour match becomes available at a reasonable price.
