Hello everyone,

After a reluctant sale of my E46 M3, I'm looking to step back into a Z4 Roadster. I had a 3.0i Sterling Grey around 6 years ago and sold it too soon, so I fancy another go in one. My old Z4 pretty much had everything spec wise (ex demo on launch) so finding like this is unlikely, but to be honest, the SE came very well spec'd in my opinion. So here's the spec I'm look at.

Mandatory
- 3.0i SE (Anything up to around 100k)
- Sterling Grey with black roof
- 108 split rims
- Black nappa leather with black interior and brush steel finish.
- Xenon lights
- heated electric seats
- Electric seats
- Bluetooth
- Upgraded Hi-Fi
- Full Service History (Not massively fussed on BMW Service History, but independent specialist would be preferable)
- Wind deflector

Desirable
- Passenger ISO fix would also be a massive win, but suspect this to be the rarest option of all.
- Electric folding mirrors would be desirable, though not a deal breaker

Anything else is just a bonus.

Condition - Well, these cars aren't brand new any more, so I'm not expecting a showroom condition car, but I want a well looked after example. Happy if the wheels are in need of refurbishment and odd mark, but rust and damage is something I'm not interested in.

Subtle changes and upgrades are fine, but I'm a leave it as it is kind of guy unless it enhances the performances and handling of the car. (The Z4 was a looker from the beginning wasn't it) media upgrades are OK as long as it remains as it did when it was built.

Price wise - Currently these seem to be going for around 4-5k, so that's where I'll put myself.

Happy to travel for the right car.

I'm in no rush to jump into the first car I see, so unless I post saying I've found my car, feel free to contact me via PM.

Thanks,

Ben

I have indeed Golfgeezer. I'm just throwing my interest out there to anyone else who's thinking about changing and not yet made the move to advertise yet.

I'm hoping for a car very close to my previous Z4.

 
That's certainly looks a nice one :thumbsup: Bet you wish you'd kept it :(

Although my wish list isn't as extensive as yours hopefully as Spring approaches some more cars will come onto the market. That's what I keep telling myself at least :roll:

It was immaculate. I didn't want to sell it. To cut a long story short, my old house wasn't selling, so I decided to stay put and treat myself to a Z4. Sods law, someone made an offer and I moved into my now current house that was in need of a refurb. Money soon dried up and with a family to support it was the logical item to free up some funds. I had the car literally months.

I think this time of year is usually quite quiet when looking for cars. Too cold to go look at cars for some! Spring to Autumn will see a better selection I'm sure.
 
Still looking!

I would have thought I'd have a decent amount of choice, however there doesnt seem to be hardly any that fit my wish list. Seen a couple that look potential winners, but they are well out of my budget.

Am I being too fussy, or is my budget unrealistic?
 
With the exception of one slipping through the net. I have found my Z4 and pick it up thursday, just in time for the Easter weekend. :driving:

Thank You to those who PM's me and helped me. Really appreciate it and still think this is the kindest forum going!

Never change!
