Hello from South Wales

Quick introduction - on another forum I frequent, out of the blue I had an opportunity to purchase a '99 2.8. Z3. Not actually been looking for one (!) but as it wasn’t much money (under £3k), and son was willing to share, we were thinking it could be fun! However, once I started to do my research we quickly realised that an e85 was within budget too and that appealed to us a lot more!

My "toy" history has included Westfield 7, Chimaera, Elise S2, Mk1 MX5, Boxster. I currently drive a CLA 45 S/B.
Son has progressed from a Mito to a 350Z and now a tuned M140i in 4 years of driving!! :oops:(Dont know where he gets it from!!).:D:whistle:

So the search is on! We have decided that our ideal is a facelift 2.5 manual. Sport seats are nice but think the SE ride maybe preferable! Don’t mind higher miles so long as backed up with history. Don’t really want a “project” but realise that we’re unlikely to get something that’s perfect within our £4K budget.

Look forward to pestering you all with stupid questions!!
 
Hello and welcome to the forum - there is what appears to be a very nice one for sale on here - https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=131146

Where are you in S. Wales :thumbsup:
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

Just be aware there the 2.5 engine came in 2 versions on the facelift cars. The 2.5i was rated at 177bhp and the 2.5Si was 218bhp so there's quite a big difference!

Anyway happy hunting.
 
And then after I said that a smart looking 2.5i facelift appears here, albeit slightly above your budget!

177bhp may be OK - I suppose it depends what you have had before, and how you plan to use it!

Also linked that - thought it fitted the bill pretty well and with a bit of haggling could be ideal :thumbsup:
