E89 35iS

[Rich101rc]

Looking for an E89 35is. Must be excellent condition with full history. I’m based in the West Midlands.

Hello and welcome.
Any preference on colour or spec you’re looking for?

The 35is is a rare beast. Keep an eye on the for sale section. I assume you’re keeping an eye on eBay, Autotrader and the BMW approved used cars?

Good luck with your search.

Hi Wyldie85,

Thank you.
I will keep an eye on the sites you mention.
Went to view one yesterday (first one!)...nice car, but a few things not quite right. However it did focus my search on finding a good one.

It might help if you gave your budget as prices can be anywhere between £14000 to £24000.
Do you have a colour spec preference?

Hello and welcome to the forum

Which one did you view yesterday just so we don't point you in that direction again?

 

[Rich101rc]

My budget is around £18k to £19k but may stretch this a bit for the right car. No preference on colour. Viewed a red one yesterday in Dudley priced on Autotrader at £18.5k.

That one has been discussed on here a few times, what did you think was wrong with it?

The MOT history was not good. Ongoing oil leak issue. Paddle shift not working. It just didn’t feel 100%. Trader only warranty. Can you link the previous discussions please.

Does anyone know anything about the one that Apex Cars Direct are selling? It’s listed on Autotrader and Pistonheads at £23k.

I’ve found one of the previous threads about the car.

The cream leather wasn’t too bad, could have done with a good clean. Drivers seat bolster was good but one of the seams in the drivers seat base was starting to come apart on the front corner.

One wheel nut had been chiselled out and the alloy damaged.

Looked nice in red.

The orange one had been sold and wasn’t there. I think I would have been very tempted....looked fantastic from the pics.

It’s not on their own site and the AT ad is two weeks old so might’ve sold

That’s a hefty amount of money for a car with those issues and no warranty :thumbsdown:

Yeah yeah, I don't mind the red actually, I am not a fan of silver or black but would not say no if it was a 35iS

The orange one was a form car I think - had the upgraded seats and was a stunner

To bloody right it is - that thing is £3 to £4k over priced right now

 

[Ole gits rule]

Have you not considered this one, lower mileage and not that much more expensive in reality - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-BMW-Z4-35is-sDrive-2dr-DCT-CONVERTIBLE-Petrol-Automatic/313289214289?hash=item48f17e0951:g:lPYAAOSwE0NfpTyQ
