Intro
For sale my 2006 BMW Z4 E85 3.0si with 116k miles and service history. It also has the upgraded HiFi sound system with the extra speakers and subwoofers. I have owned it for 14 months now, purely as a fun weekend car which you will see reflected in the mileage on the MOT history. I am looking for something new to play with, which has 4 seats, hence the reason for sale. You will see from my signature that I do like to change cars regularly and enjoy different ownership experiences.
I have all the documentation, a folder of receipts from previous owners, service book, and two keys. I can also share a VCheck report with you I ran when I purchased the car showing it clear of any damage/finance, of course feel free to run your own.
I have kept a log of the ownership here where you will see little or no issues https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142500
How I bought it
It is very good condition for the age, the only age related marks are general wear and tear on the front bumper as to be expected, along with a small ding in the front right wing which appeared very recently. It has BMW MV2 wheels all of which are free of marks except a couple of marks on the front passenger side wheel. This aside, the car is in fantastic condition inside and out.
The roof motor has been relocated to the boot and functions perfectly. The common issue of the water pump has been replaced with a Pierburg item. The exhaust has had a modification to it, where the back box has been modified to allow a deeper noise. Its not a straight pipe, the box was opened, some of the noise reducing material removed, and then the box sealed up again. It has a K&N air filter.
The car also has had at some point the Carly interface used on it with the following additions over the standard car:
In terms of options, it came with:
My work on it
The car itself is pretty much standard aside from the following modifications and work I have done since purchase:
All the mods are easily reversible if they are not to your liking. I have done lots of little bits and pieces to it to keep it looking good, from respraying the wiper arms to changing the little M badges on the wheels.
Sum up
The sale is legitimate, I've had nearly 2 1/2 years in an E86 and E85 and am looking to try something different. Looking at my signature you will see I like to try different cars out and enjoy the ownership experience! Just MOT'd.
I'm a huge detailing fanatic and the car has wanted for nothing, it is regularly snow foamed, decontaminated, clayed, cleaned, ceramic shampoo sealant and waxed. I even wrote some short guides on here https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=144827
I'm going to post up some pics and videos shortly...
I am looking for £5950 and am based in West London near Twickenham. The facelift 3.0si are a rare sight on the road, and this one is loaded with options, wanted for nothing, and I feel worth what I am asking. If you feel that you don't agree with the price I am asking, I respectfully ask you keep that to yourself or if it bothers you significantly enough, message me directly with your concerns.
Other than that, any questions please shout. Thanks, Col.

All the mods are easily reversible if they are not to your liking. I have done lots of little bits and pieces to it to keep it looking good, from respraying the wiper arms to changing the little M badges on the wheels.
