If you can get it for £2600, I think,as long as all the usual mechanical once over's and history,etc check out okay,it's a no brainer for the money,Winn
6 cyl zed with full service history, looking well maintained, sub 100k miles and sat on 18s..2600 is a steal pal

The current market is very strange..a friend of mine picked one of those that was an MOT failure (needed calipers freeing and new pads) for £180 including delivery to his door, that was in 2019..took about £500 to turn it into quite a good one..go figure..
That's not to poo poo your purchase, I'm sure it will give much joy!

Hello and welcome to the forum, the car looks nice and a snip at that price

Just be warned, the more you look the more things you realise you absolutely have to have. That money you knocked off the purchase will soon go!Winn said:Thanks all, glad to be part of such awesome community. Time to start digging and educate myself. Might have a look at your rides, hope that’s ok.
(With the first purchase having to be a proper whippy aerial obviously.

You are so right. I started learning how to check things, then bought an OBD2 scanner, then got to look at what else can be improved lol.

One of the tyres must’ve been low in pressure or something
OP, a man after my own heart
You’ve done well getting a nice issue free car at that money. I hope you enjoy many happy miles in it

In all fairness, he forgot to mention a cracked front bumper lower grill :roll: :lol:
Congrats on your new Zed, a really good price for the condition and history. I think the 2.2 is an underestimated engine. Get them past 3K revs and they come to life. I bought my first Zed, also a 2.2 in February this year £4K, 78K miles and extensive BMW history. For some reason I just kept looking at other Zeds for sale and came across a 2007 2.5si at a great price so bought that also. Managed to sell the 2.2 in 36 hours at almost the price I paid for it and kept the hardtop. You'll have great fun.
