Hello everyone,
For sale is my beloved E85 Roadster. I have owned this car for a few years, and I've loved every minute of it, but now I unfortunately need something more practical and can't justify keeping two cars.
It's a sad thing to have to sell this, but I feel like selling it here will mean it would go to the best possible new home
Specification
Year: 2004 (54 plate)
Mileage: 94k
Colour: Black
Engine: 3.0i 6-cyl
Transmission: 6-speed Manual
Interior: Black Heated M-sport Memory Seats, Multi-function Steering Wheel, M-sport Gearknob, AUX-input
Wheels: Original 18" 59605s wrapped in Michelin Pilotsport 4s (non-runflats)
Headlights: Xenon
Location: Windsor / West London
Price: £4,600
The Good Bits
The car is unmodified aside from an inconspicuous AUX input added to the radio using the CD-changer input. It has the desirable M-sport cabin with the comfortable heated sports seats as well as the optional 18" 59605s.
The engine and drivetrain is bulletproof and has not shown any signs of deterioration, no oil leaks or rattles anywhere, and it even got compliments from a BMW expert looking underneath it
The Not So Good Bits
Bodywork is not in showroom condition. It's done 94k miles and does have marks to prove it here and there. Nothing major, but I don't want people to expect a concourse condition
The cabin is in great shape for 94k miles though.
There's an air bubble in the roof hydraulics somewhere, which will probably disappear over time. Currently this means the roof just needs a gentle nudge when opening to not get stuck.
One of the reverse sensors has a bad connection so needs replacement - I have the part but haven't fitted it yet because I prefer not to have it beeping at me when I park

- Good service history, mostly by independents - not all in the book because I'm an idiot and forget to bring it, but I have the receipts
- Interior in really good condition for age
- New battery fitted this year
- New Brembo discs and pads fitted all around 6000 miles ago.
- Rear suspension bushings replaced 4000 miles ago making the car feel new.
- Serviced on 22/09/2020 at 94k miles.
- The roof motor has been relocated to the boot to prevent water ingress being an issue.
- New rear covers fitted to headlights to prevent steam and water ingress
