EDIT - Deposit Taken - Spoken to a really nice chap this evening after sending videos of the car on WhatsApp, and deposit received. Will be going on the MV2’s from my incoming Si.... so I’ll edit my Veemanns listing.

I’ll get full details up as I find time, but I’ve just committed to buy my 5th Z4, and 4th E85 :?

PLEASE NOTE - I’m adding to the advert as I find time!

This is a moderate specification car, ....but it is in fantastic condition with good service history and under 50,000 miles..... which is why I bought it.

The last owner was a fastidious retired motorcycle mechanic, so since 2017 he’s gone over the car with a fine tooth comb and It’s had;

Spark plugs, oil and all filters at 45,891 miles
Front wishbone bushes and rear RTCA bushes replaced at 46,044 Miles
Oil & Filter service + gearbox oil + differential oil (all with specific OEM spec oils) 47,498 Miles
Front and rear roll bar bushes replaced 47,873 Miles
Serpentine belt and tensioner replaced 47,970 Miles
Front drive coupling, new gearbox mounts, new differential bushes 48,924 Miles
Oil & Filter service 48,946 Miles
Completely new clutch fitted due to noisy release bearing & both front oxygen sensors replaced (completed at BMW independent specialist with full invoice) 48,983 miles
New Eibach pro springs fitted + New OE spec front shock absorbers. 49,000 Miles
Oil and filter service 48,946 in Feb 2020 - indicator shows 12k+ miles to next service (or Feb 2022 if sooner)

He really enjoyed working on the car and was on a mission for perfection, but ultimately when the sun came out so did one of his powerful bikes, so he spent more time (and money) working on it than driving it. He sold it to me because he’d just bought another bike and needed his garage space.

I’m the 4th owner, it was definitely garaged by the previous owner, it has been garaged by me and does genuinely look as if it’s been garaged from new. The hood fabric, for example, is in exceptional condition.

The interior switchgear, plastics and leather are superb. The Aircon blows ice cold, everything works properly and there are no faults.
It has a very good MOT history and is HPI clear with no accidents etc.

The forum tells it’s own story, I’ve only owned the car a couple of months, but I spotted a very low mileage Si a few days ago and I’ve been to look at it today. :D

I would be incredibly surprised if anyone viewing was disappointed with how the car looks and drives.

I fully appreciate that the current wheels are not to everyone’s tastes, so I can swap them for a set of MV2’s that will be coming off my new car if preferred.

Pricing, I’m looking for £6750 as it stands with brand new Veemann wheels and Brand new Mitchelin PS4’s.

Or £6k with MV2’s but with tires that want changing ASAP.... on the basis you want the car for the lowest cost as you’ll be wanting to fit non-runflats (or fit your own wheels and tires).

I’m going to leave it listed only here for a short period as I’d rather it went to someone who’s going to cherish it. The car I’m replacing it with is lower mileage again, but needs TLC to be returned to it’s former glory.

I saw this car when Martin popped around my place on Friday and I have to say its in excellent condition. I couldn't see a mark anywhere. It has clearly been a well loved car all of its life.
 
That looks exceptionally clean and exceptionally cheap for a 3.0Si with such low mileage. If people can compromise on the spec, it’s a beaut!

Thank you,

Yes it’s the perfect weekend, summer sports car for someone focused on fun in the sun & wind in the hair... who will probably SORN in winter and maintain a relatively modest mileage.

I genuinely wasn’t intending to sell it, but I spotted something ‘by accident’ and couldn’t resist going to have a look.

My incoming car It’s not a mint as this one, despite being Just under 30k miles, but it’ll give me something to focus on other than my mystic wheel search. I’m looking forward to returning the new one to it’s former glory.

Also, I’m not really feeling E89’s as a weekend toy, I tried an E86 but couldn’t work out how to put the roof down :poke:
So I’m focussed on low mileage E85 Si’s
 
The car I’m replacing this with has MV2’s on, as pictured below... for clarity on their condition.

I’m more than happy for the car to come with these on which I guess will probably suit more people?

It’s going with the MV2’s on at the £6k price.

As it happens I don’t really like MV2’s, I find them a bit fussy, but the chap buying it really likes MV2’s :thumbsup:

The Veemann’s will be going on my new car initially, until I finally make my mind up on new wheels.

I missed out on the Style 32’s, so the veemann sale is temporarily on hold.

When you do decide to change the wheels could you drop me a PM I'd be very interested :) they're stunning
Cheers 😁

They’re definitely going to be available, but I need to deal with the car being sold / car being bought next week first.

I’m already on the hunt for whatever wheels will be next :rofl:
 
Collected today by a lovely couple from Kent.

He loved it and it goes to show that good cars are worth travelling for :thumbsup:

I was a bit sad to see it go, especially as my replacement has started crying through the passenger side headlight washer... and needs a lot of work to get it as nice as this one, but it’s lower mileage and higher spec so everyone’s happy. :D
