The time has come to sell my trusted z4. I've owned it for four years and it's been without a doubt the best car I've owned. The opportunity has arisen for me to buy a car I've always wanted, so unfortunately this must go to make way.

The car will only be for sale in this form for 1 week. Until next Saturday. Beyond then, the car will be returned to a very basic spec and sold at a lower price. I've spent a long time sourcing all the right bits for this so it would be nice to see it go as is.

Standard Spec:

6 Spd manual
Auto lights/wipers
Sports button
Autodim rear view mirror
CD changer
Tyre Pressure Sensors

Nice Bits:
Individual Amarone Sports Seats - Electric and heated
BMW 224 //M Sport Wheels
ZHP gear knob
Royal steering wheels retrimmed wheel - Perforated sections and thicker wheel.
Wind deflector
Electric Folding Wing Mirrors
Aux In
Gaptech+ remote roof control (this allows opening of roof by the key, and also one touch control inside)

10 Months MOT
144k Miles

The car has been serviced near enough every 6 months in my ownership until recently where reduced mileage saw it being serviced yearly. (Usual services, following BMW guidelines, including spark plugs, air filter, pollen filter etc etc etc and it's had the following replacement parts in my ownership to freshen it up:

Lower front wishbones and bushes all meylee HD
New Clutch (2014), along with new gearbox oil, new exhaust seals and fitting kit. (including DMF inspection)
New Diff Oil and Seals
Both belts replaced
Oil Filter housing gasket changed
Rocker cover gasket replaced
New rear trailing arm bushes fitted (I suspected they were worn)
Full coolant flush and change with genuine bmw coolant
Roof motor refurbishment and case seal (very quiet and smooth action)

The most recent good pics I have:

I'm looking for £4300 as is. Is anyone is looking for a bargain 3.0 then without all the trinkets I'm probably looking at £3.5k-ish.

Thanks for looking, any questions I'd be glad to answer.
 
Would think will sell as is looks really good,
If it doesn't are the " nice bits " the parts that would be coming off
 
A leggy but looked after tasty Z pitched at a tantalising price :wink: bang on the money for whats on offer id say :thumbsup:
 
It looks stunning for silly cheap money, just because of the 144k miles.

Good luck with it, its a credit to you.
 
Thanks all, it's a very genuine car and the upgrades make it honestly brilliant. Just need to list it on Pistonheads tomorrow.


And yes, it would be the "nice bits" that would be coming off. I'll be offering them up on a PX basis for more standard items. i.e my sport seats for normal seats+cash etc. That thread will go up this time next week if it's not gone!
 
I saw this yesterday and its in amazing condition. Very well looked after and would make a great buy for someone.
 
If you do end up stripping the nice parts off the car I'd be interested in the royals wheel,
Although quite sure it will sell as is

If I do split it down there will be a thread on here next Saturday Itemising all the bits, before then I won't be promising bits to anyone as for me this is just about freeing up cash quickly. Hope that works ok for all.

Fair enough
 
A couple of photos from giving it a clean just before the weekend so that it was ready for any potential viewers:

Hopefully these give a good indication of the condition of the car.

Is that your new vehicle parked at the rear? Looks mid-engined to me...
 
Unfortunately my new car hasn't made it through it's pre purchase inspection... so I'll be holding onto this for a little while :-|

You know it makes sense. - I'm pleased for you in a funny sort of way as that car looked too good to go for £3.5k and too nice to be stripped !

Well I'm not bloody pleased! :rofl: A chance to own a car I've always wanted, but I fear I may never buy one now. Just too problematic.
