Been thinking about selling for a while - had the car for just over a year and covered about 500 miles - stays under cover in the garage most of the time so deserves to go to someone who wants to use it more :D Had previously sold it locally but buyer couldn't come up with the cash :( Have left it for a while while thinking things through and concluded that I would put it up for sale again - a local sports and prestige cars dealer has offered to sell it on commission - they are a reputable garage who only sell high end sports cars between £10k and £100k - wouldn't normally consider a ten year old car but was happy to do so when he saw mine because of the low mileage condition and provenance - he has suggested a screen price of £8995 ( which he says is achievable ) . Commission including a warranty is £1200 . I have to apply to retain my number plate which will take 10 days or so . If anyone on the forum is still interested for my original asking price of £7500 PM me before I go for a commission sale . It's Mot'd till Feb 2015 and just taxed for 12 months.

car is totally unmodded original
All original paint with no marks , dings , dents , scuffs etc . new red 3rd brake light fitted ( photo taken before it was replaced for those with eagle eyes )
newly refurbed 108's with new front Bridgestone RFT's and matching hardly used rears
M seats virtually as new
Sat Nav
Bluetooth
FBMW service history including brake fluid changes / insp 1 - next service due Dec ( oil service -time banded not mileage )
One previous owner who kept it garaged as I do.
Comprehensive file with all old mot's , receipts ( including purchase receipt ) etc
2 keys plus the plastic one
MOT end Feb 2015
Taxed May 2014

Price £7500 - As regulars know I live on the Isle of Wight - so am happy to email further photos as required should anyone want to travel over here to view - if you're a serious
buyer looking for a genuine car in outstanding condition that needs nothing doing to it then you won't be disappointed - price does not include private plate. I don't mean to offend anyone but the car is exceptional and ,in my view , worth the asking price - I say this to avoid the usual responses by some who go on about how you can buy a 2004 model for £6k - ( but with dubious history and 3 times the mileage

Roof works perfectly ( always been garaged )

the wheel refurb was done in a local garage down here for £230 cash so I have no receipt - work included taking off centres etc

Brakes are original but no advisory on latest mot .


Only fault is the dreaded brake \ dsc warning light - diagnosis has identified DSC Sensor 2 - car is going in tomorrow to have this sensor replaced.






















 
that is a very nice honest car.... lovely!!

JE, perfect car to swap your mods onto and continue into the modding world properly!!
 
Hi gov,

Have sent you a private message. I think I sent it ok but can you let me know if you don't get it (I'm a new member so new to all this!)


Many thanks.
 
Looks a cracking car that has been well cared for.
Anyone looking for a Z4 should snap this up and enjoy top down motoring this summer. :thumbsup:
 
I've had several enquiries but have concluded that the best option is to let the specialist dealer market my car - the suggested screen price is high but my experience has shown that buyers are prepared to pay over the odds from a reputable specialist dealer where they can get finance and a warranty. Its all too complicated , particularly down here , to sell it privately through the forum.

One bit of good news is my car went in today to have the DSC sensor replaced - they only had it an hour or so - everything went smoothly , replaced sensor , bled the system and reset the warning light - light is now off and everything works as it should :D :D :D :D :D
