E89 Z4 2.3 2010-2011 - Bedfordshire based

[Nigel B]

Afternoon all,

I'm looking for an E89 Z4 2.3 in good overall condition.
Colours: White preferred, although might consider Estoril blue
Decent amount of history
Max miles: circa 70k
Transmission: either considered
Small faults such as kerbed wheels, worn seat bolsters accepted if overall condition is worth it.

Budget: up to absolute max of £12k for the right car (because that's all I've got)

Based in Leighton Buzzard, but willing to travel circa 75 miles or possibly meet half-way if further.

Thanks.

Hi Nigel

Just seen this come up on Autotrader, I am nothing to do with the seller, but thought it meets your criteria and is quite close to you

I just found a great car on Auto Trader:

Hi Nigel, for that budget you should be able to get an extremely nice one. Look for one with more whistles and bells, iDrive, PDC, sport seats etc.and definitely sub 50k on the clock... they are out there somewhere and sometimes advertised on here. Looked at two on autotrader there and thought they were were v pricey for the spec and condition. Be prepared to travel also to get the right car, I went all the way to the Isle of Skye for mine, well worth it.

Hi, How about this one. Low mileage, within your budget and lots of extras.

Its advertised as a Msport but its not, no pdc (even though it says so in the advert), cruise or idrive

Thanks for the comments and the two AT links.
A special "thanks" goes to Z450, the car looked ideal and only 7 miles away, so I drove straight over and bought it! Very pleased with it, just what I was looking for. Pics to follow.

Thanks again and a big thumbs up!

That’s the way to do it, congratulations and a nice colour combo

Congrats on the new car - seems like a quick and easy purchase

 

[Nictrix]

Congrats on the car, I hope you got a really good deal on it, for the advertised price it is quite basic.

Your welcome Nigel, I glad it turned out to be a success

Morning,

Many thanks to everyone for the messages of congratulation.

Although the spec is perhaps a little basic, it is a really nice and clean example with little sign of wear. It drives very well indeed and needs nothing doing to it. I'm very chuffed with it.

Its not nearly as quick as the Z3 M Coupe that I had 20 years ago, but fast enough for the old boy that I've become. hahaha!

The main thing is you are happy with it . And to be fair I don’t think the spec is that bad, looking at the pictures it has Front and rear PDC, heated seats, electric seats which is a nice option, all you need now is some sunshine
