Advice with sale of Z4

[Jonny English]

Could someone please give me a list of my mods that would sell on here ie M bonnet mint, M front bumper mint, Rear bumper with Reiger diffuser, M steering wheel mint, 19” 313 mint reps with MPSS tyres as taking you advice I think it’s a good idea as already and too offers for £850 on the side skirts one was £750 but I would get their old ones in silver which I would need for body parts so I could have a complete car to sell.

…just remember whatever you do, those aero parts are like Unicorn tears and worth at least £1k.

Had two offers for £850 so far, good to know thanks.

Jonny, you put the majority of the parts on the car so you know which are 'driveway swappable' and which aren't. Things like seats/bonnet/skirts/bumpers/wheels are all easy enough.

You should be able to sell/swap any of those parts as long as you and the purchaser can meet up and do the work - you may get slightly less than just selling the parts but you'll have an extra pair of hands to help with the work.

Not far off though - I'd think around £850 + a colour matched pair of standard sills is about right.

Modded, low mileage, hardly used but well kept 2.0 with a burgundy roof.

Might have been interested if it had a turbo fitted!

Good to see you’ve still got it JonnyEssex.

You certainly spent quite a bit on this

Yeah not for long tho, just wanted it to go to good home, but I think even getting 6k for it would be a hard push hence me thinking about selling sills, bonnet and front bumper and things like steering wheel, maybe even BBK

You’ll certainly get more splitting it if you’ve got the time

You're bound to get someone interested in the seats as well - easy to swap and, as your car's silver, they can be swapped with red or black originals.

How much u think I could get for seats plus door cards as well as they are done too, and there’s isn’t a single sign of wear on them which shouldn’t be of no surprise lol.

This is what I’ve just seen on Auto trader, and has more millage and no visible mods, it’s at £7495, plus another as at £6500 and again same bit more millage and no visible mods.

Just . . . Completely unrealistic.

Furthermore (and I may be being controversial here), Jonny’s is an amazing looking car - absolutely top job - but why would you go to all that trouble and expense with a 2.0l when you could have a car with performance to match the looks for not much more money?

Good question - I haven't got a clue :lol: but I'm sure someone will take a fancy to them and, while they may make the car more attractive to a buyer, they'll add little to the value.

Out of interest, knowing how much you doted on the car and how much time/effort/money you spent getting it just how you wanted it - and generating some of the longest 'should I do this mod' forum threads in the process - why have you finally decided to sell it?

Ahhh, there's an awful lot of forum history tied up in the answer to that question - a full answer would probably be as long as one of Jonny's 'mod threads'

I spent so much effort and money on the car that I became too scared to even drive it now and then, very odd mentality to have I know and the car is doing nothing for me now, I want to sell and then put money towards a Ford Ranger wildtrak, completely different I know but the Z4 is awful as a practical car and I’m into camping and trekking etc so a truck would work far far better for me. I would suggest to your members who are thinking of modding is tbh not too, complete waste of money unless your very wealthy and money no object.

I bought the car from new and had a emotional attachment to the car at the time, but you are completely right in what your saying, I do agree totally.

The car looks brilliant, possibly the best looking e85 I've ever seen, but... £7.5k for a 2.0? Seems unlikely. Yes there might be one or two on Autotrader at that price, but if they're still on Autotrader it means they haven't sold...

Mods don't make sense financially, but hopefully you've had plenty of value them during your ownership and thoroughly enjoyed your creation, it's genuinely beautiful.

Very kind of you to say, it has a lot of love over the years.
Well I’m thinking of selling the aero skirts, M bonnet and front bumper, rear face lift bumper as has a reiger diffuser attached, the face life rear lights, my seats and door cards, M steering wheel and the 19” 313 rep with MPSS tyres with a straight swap too with buyers old parts with any body parts also being silver, think I make fair feel thousand then sell the car as a whole after.
