I wish it had been for sale in May when I bought mine. :(

It's even pretty local to me - I was over in Worcester Park earlier at my Mum's!

Good luck with the sale Henry. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mr Tidy, must admit I've been having second thoughts about selling. Hence my reluctance to bump it up for the past few weeks... but if I get £8k then I think it's a fair price for me and the buyer is getting a cracking car.

I'm sure you got yourself a good car when you got yours, it looks good from what I've seen of it. The first Z4C I test drove was a Montego blue, but it didn't drive well and I had to let my head rule my heart. Was the right choice as this one came up a few weeks later.

Knowing what I paid in May I think it's a bargain to be honest! I'm not a big fan of the silvers and greys, but for me red leather would make up for that!

Just don't do what I did and regret selling. :thumbsup:
 
Hi there,
Thanks for letting me know, I am just waiting for an insurance settlement for my current Z4C, should be this week. If so I will give you a shout to see if its still available and arrange to come have a look.



Thanks Wayne
 
Hi Wayne,

Sorry for slow reply, been away with work this week. It's still available, I'll be home on Sunday if you want to view, or next weekend is good too. Just let me know if/when works for you.

It had an oil service last week so next service is showing as 15,500 miles.

Thanks,
Henry

Sorry for the late reply "Big Tav" - I had a friend staying over the New Year.

Mine is Montego Blue with Pearl Grey leather and Cirrus Aluminium trim - but I'm sorry, it isn't for sale! :)

Not an easy decision to make but after six years of happy ownership it's time for me to scratch an itch that is owning a convertible. Children are on the horizon so if I don't make the switch now Mrs Thierry may not sign it off.

I'm based in Redhill, Surrey, and not interested in p/x. Please point out any information I miss in the advert, it's been a while since I last sold a car. Or pm me if you want to arrange a viewing or have any questions.

I'm looking for £8,500 £8,000.

• Registered 02/06/2006 (06 Reg)
• 83,800 Miles (approx.)
• MOT’ed untill 18/08/18, no advisories
• Metallic Silver Grey
• 3.0lt Straight 6 Cylinder Engine (265bhp)
• 6 Speed Manual Gearbox
• Sport Button

• Dream Red Leather Heated Electric M Sport Seats (Inc. 3 position memory on drivers seat)
• Aluminium Interior Trim
• Chunky M Sport Leather Multi-Function S/Wheel
• 18” MV2 Style Alloys (Staggered)
• BMW Professional Satellite Navigation
• BMW HiFi System Professional (10 Speakers) Inc. 6 CD Changer

• Hill Start Assist
• Stubby, ZHP gearknob and non-RF tyres

Car has full service history, by BMW up to 46k miles and by Independent's since. The last service was an Inspection I at 76k miles (Mar-2016) with brake fluid changed on 79k miles (Jan-17). OBC showing as 9,000 miles to next service, but I'll be putting it in for an oil service in the next few weeks. It has recent brake discs and pads all around, and alloys were refurbished last year (properly, not a smart repair).

Only bad points are that the front bumper has a car-park scratch and the nearside headlight is a bit cloudy (some water got in to the unit when I replaced the indicator bulb and didn't put the cover back on properly :headbang: ), shown in photos below. Otherwise I'd say it is in very good condition for an 11-year old 84k mile car.

I purchased the car from a forum member in Jan 2012, on 47k miles. I didn't think I'd ever own the same car for more than 3 years but it still feels special and makes me smile when I get in it. I might end up keeping her but thought I'd test the waters... hopefully it can give the next owner another six years of happy motoring :driving:

Hi Tyreman, yes it is. I've just not been bumping it as I figured winter isn't a great time to be selling. PM me if you've got any questions or want to arrange a viewing, I'm based in Surrey (RH1).
 
So surprised this car is still unsold :? Si Sport coupe with £8k ask on a 84k car with great colour combo ,fantastic service record & only minor cosmetic issues to sort :?
 
I'm surprised too - why don't cars like this ever appear when I am looking for one? :roll:
 
It looks like a great car and I am seriously tempted. Grey is about my 4th colour choice and that's the only thing stopping me as I have plans for a Z4 when I get it.

It's a great spec!
 
Update: I've decided to keep it. Went for a drive on Sunday and it put a big smile on my face... I don't think I can come close to the mix of performance/rarity/enjoyment in another car of similar value.

I'm surprised only 1 person came to view it in 3 months... Had lots of messages, but apart from the one I missed a couple of weeks ago (sorry again) no serious interest.

Mr Tidy, your experience of selling yours and immediately regretting it has sunk in at last!

It's booked in to get the front bumper repaired and resprayed, then I might treat her to some CSL alloys as I think they really suit the Coupe.

Well I've had my second one over 18 months now and it's a keeper! :)

I hope it works out the same for you. :thumbsup:
