Do we have any thoughts on this one? Any body know the place? I think I can get it for £11,300.

I'm still not fully convinced about the auto, mind.

Looks ok on the face of it, been for sale a while by the looks of it (over 3 months)

Need much more info though and interior pictures etc to know more about it!

Seems to have front and rear PDC but i dont know what else it has really.

The auto is a zf6 it’s a good box, a s/w update improves it further…

Car looks stock which is no bad thing..pity no internal shots to determine some options like audio, cruise etc

Pluses are wind diffuser and heated seats…low mileage…should run forever..

326Ms have been commented on..

Wonder why the rear Z4 badge has been relocated?

MOT history shows typical lack of oversight on maintenance….
 
It has iDrive but can't see cruise: https://www.vogueautogroup.co.uk/cars/bmw/z4/3/663094/

Seems quite well featured given a missing cruise…looks like it has the 676 11 speaker system..I bought my 35is from this dealer…he specialises in Z4s and Porksters..plus VW Caddy…

I do t think I'm too bothered about cruise... I barely use it. Others might be at resale, though.

More bothered by no DAB, tbh..... and that badge being moved now its been pointed out

Dealer OK in your experience?

DAB on these cars is patchy depending where you live / drive…it’s possible to retrofit DAB albeit at time and cost..dealer was OK…my car had a recent MOT and had two refurbed wheels and was presented well…

Subsequently discovered all 4 dampers were shot but this was outside their very very limited warranty..which I understood and took a risk on..

As many others have found had other ‘classic’ 35i issues later on..they come with the territory

You could always just stream your DAB stations as it’s got the updated media system..

Hi, these cars were available “de-badged” as an option from new, the relocated badge could be a sign of paintwork/new panel or it could just be someone rebadging a debadged car :?

Interestingly, WBAC offer just £6k for this car.

How much credence should be given to WBAC? How much should be added to give real world value?

Hi B21 when you refer to the ZF auto update how do I go about getting that done and what difference will it make?
 
WBAC valuations go increasingly diverge from real world values as the cars age…my 35is had a WBAC valuation of 11.5k…originally listed by its owner at 24k…I paid 18.5k from a dealer..

Condition and options are not really figured by WBAC…also a seasonal issue…

xHP a smart phone based app can re-program the ZF6HP box to give it the same characteristics as the later ZF8HP..ie faster shifts and more intelligent mangement…

The ZF8HP is widely regarded as one of the best gearboxes made whether it’s msnausl, DCT or auto
