E89 Market watch

[Stevo1987]

When I ordered mine at the end of the E89 production run i went at the tick box like a shark in a feeding frenzy!

sounds expensive!

I think mine has everything, except comfort access, which I believe is a bit rare on these cars.

I think mine has everything except for comfort access. I don't think many Z4 e89 UK cars have this option.

Cool. Double post!!!

I think this is the car I looked at a while back. But was out of my budget at the time @£18,500ish

Subsequently I think, Peter, PBondar, said he’s looked at it too.

If it is I think the lack of toys is what put him off.

Again if it is the same car I’m sure it has a quaife lsd on it but no mention in the advert.

In a car like that I would also be put off with no iDrive but particularly no heated seats. I was out in mine yesterday for an essential journey and roof down heated seats on

I know that one with the Quaife diff (Pictured). I looked as well, and turned it down as it was the 1st gen and no iDrive. This advert is a similar but different car.

No heated seats would be a blow.. I drive.. Is it really essential on a weekend toy? Was never even a consideration and probably bottom of the list of options for me, a lot of other options I would prefer over it

The plus side that we see with the idrive isnt the satnav but the music storage. I think this is a really good thing to have and only realised we wanted it as our X6 has it.

The previous owner of mine, john-e89 (You might of heard of him ), left a full hard drive of music. Ok, if you like house, rap type stuff I guess. I didn't think that was John's cup of tea, but each to their own.

Our X6 had a few strange things left on the drive. Funnily enough the Z we got from Bob didnt have a thing on the drive. Either he didnt use it or deleted everything that was weird.

wasn’t sure, almost makes it worse there’s another one out there with very few options ticked.

We both made the right choice getting a VO one :wink:

Oh, there’s definitely no doubt. I love the Atacama but they stopped them. The VO on a bright day is something else.

Is the volume knob to turn the colour down an option, cos I don't think either of those two has one fitted?
Good "car park" colour.

Not only that but also you get the pictogram for the PDC, it's super useful. And as already stated by Timmyboyhunter you can update the iDrive to have Android Auto / Apple CarPlay which brings it bang up to date! On in all a car with the factory idrive will always be worth more and have more demand.

I used to have a liquid yellow Mini Cooper, that shade of yellow on that car worked but this shade on this Z4 I am not so sure.

I guess I'm too old school to care for such luxuries. I still turn up the volume on the stereo knob despite having cars with steering wheel controls for the last 10 years or so

Oddly I still end up turning the volume knob half the time too! :lol: The other half when I go to use the button on the steering wheel, it's turned so makes it hard to work out what button is where!

Do you find the volume control on these cars takes a really annoying amount of turns to get from low to high???

Or just me

What I find annoying is that there is no indication on the display of the volume level, makes for setting the gains on my aftermarket amps a bit tricky!

Its so you can pick the exact volume.
You dont just have 10 choices 1-10
You have thousands of choices, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 etc :lol:

I find that annoying too, I'd have thought with your fancy idrive you'd have had something on display
