Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking to buy a BMW z4 3.0 preferably manual for a maximum of £6k. I'm based in Dorset. If anyone has one for sale nearby, let me know. Tia
3.0 Manual z4
- Thread starter Likethewind
- Start date
My car is currently available though not yet advertised. It's a 2003 3.0i manual Roadster in Sterling Grey on 112,000 miles, in Somerset. Price will be around half of your budget. Heated memory seats, cruise control, good service history, loads of maintenance done in my two years of ownership (new rear springs, new front and rear brake discs and pads plus shoes, recent pair of tyres, recent brake fluid, recent new battery etc). While I can't honestly describe it as genuinely "immaculate", I will say that I've never had so many compliments on a car I've owned 
Selling as I have bought a Z4M.

Per email £4.5k, HPI clear, no accidents.
Bilstein B12 kit, style 224 Z4m alloys (ordered from Germany direct), heated MSport black leather electric seats, Muti-function steering wheel, full genuine wind deflector kit, private ageless number plate, excellent service history, facelift Front bumper & HID headlights (fitted by second owner who was on the forum and owned car 8 years)... probably other stuff I’ve forgotten.
Only listing as tempted by something else, this is a planted & sorted Z4

That’s one pretty looking; cared for & sorted Z4..
The lovely set of 224’s, facelift front bumper, B12 uprated suspension, M Sport seats...
Good luck with the sale & at the asking price - this won’t be around for sale very long, at the ask I suspect
Cheers

Thanks woolybear, I’m in two minds to be completely honest... but thought I’d reply to this wanted thread as there’s another Z that’s sorely tempting me. I could buy the Other Z and sell my current one at leisure, but I don’t really want to leave one of them outside if I can help it.... still mulling :?

Ooh, that's a thing of beauty! I miss my e85 a lot. Should never have sold it!
What you thinking of replacing with?

There’s a couple of options I’m weighing up, probably why I’ve not done a ‘for sale’ thread for this yet.... and may still not end up doing so.
I’ve owned 3 Z4’s already, a 2.5si an E86 Si and this one. This one is the most complete, best planted car of the three... I might just treat it to a Royals steering wheel re-trim and a beefier sounding exhaust 8)

You won't go wrong with an E89. Different car altogether from the 85/85, but a very enjoyable drive. I'm going to miss mine once it sells for sure.
If you decide to stick with yours you should definitely consider the Chinese Mewant steering wheel covers. I did mine and it was incredible. £18! Search "Mewant" on here and you'll find plenty of threads on it

I haven't taken any helpful, simple, clear "for sale" pictures of the car yet as I was planning on waiting for the sun to emerge, so here is a selection of posey pics to give you an idea:

Hi Trueblue. I have replied to your email but not sure if you have received it? Assessing options at the moment.
Morning,
Email received & replied... let me know you’ve got it
I’ve decided that if you don’t want the car I’m going to keep it for now, so won’t be doing a for sale listing here. I’ll let fate decide
I was considering an Alpina, but it transpires that the service history isn’t as first claimed sadly. I was also considering an E89, but the one I had my eye on has sold.
If you have this, I’m probably going to go for an E88 (125i) as it would be nice to be able to take my kids out occasionally
I highly doubt you’ll find one this good at this price, but I suppose it depends on whether you like the style of the car etc as it’s obviously all down to personal taste

Thanks for the replies guys. So I now have a dilemma! So many nice zeds available on here. What to go for! 
Sincere apologies to the OP, but I’m withdrawing my car as an option for the time being.
I work for a global bank who made a major announcement about a restructure with the loss of circa 35,000 jobs worldwide earlier today
Facts are sparse internally at the moment, but as my role doesn’t directly generate revenue who knows.
On this basis, now’s probably not the right time to be throwing caution to the wind and ‘selling up’ to invest in an Alpina or an M Roadster as a weekend toy.
My little old Z will be keeping me company for now
