[Argyll Andy]

Ash, I know you’ve said you fancy black but if I was you I’d be giving this some serious consideration

Well sorted, looked after honest car with a known forum history for maintenance and upgrades etc

Just said the same in the for sale thread - this should be one to seriously consider as it has the Msport seats etc.

That’s certainly a very well presented and specked 23i and around budget so I’d definitely be interested if I was looking for one, lovely colour combination as well

Evening, it is indeed a beautiful car and so well kept but not for me sadly, thanks for the messages. My car has broken down today so I’m waiting until next Tuesday until I can get it in the garage for repairs and hoping it is nothing too serious / expensive.

Is this going to hit the budget for a zed?

It may do Sean depends on issue, borrowing a code reader in the next couple of days and booked in my local independent for next Tuesday. I’m not best pleased, I’m now getting the bus to work.

Whats gone bang mate - sounds like it could be an expensive issue or is it just an EML

I’m not sure, just lost power on the bypass on way home then limp mode. Had a few issues in the past few days and thought maybe the clutch is going but garage mentions It sounds like injectors. Will find out shortly

Clutch or injectors - pretty different failure modes there, have the garage done a diagnostic on it to come up with injectors?

Not yet but that’s what they will do first on Tuesday and why I want to see for myself what code It shows up this week..

Seems odd they can just say that, did they drive it or are they a Volvo specialist?

Does the car idle badly or miss when rev'ed

Don’t worry, I will not post anymore on this page. I’ll just be a silent observer if that’s ok.

Worth a punt if you know a decent body shop, black not bad for matching, 2nd hand mirror (possibly door for ease) chance to change all wheels and got idrive, parking sensors, wind deflector

Ok if you don’t mind having a CAT car when finished

Is that a sense of humour failure I can smell? Don't throw your toys out, son, all in jest and all that

Heres one - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202105192815703?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&model=Z4&price-from=7500&price-to=12000&colour=Black&include-delivery-option=on&sort=relevance&radius=1500&make=BMW&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=np45xf&page=2

There are actually 2 or 3 nice black ones in Scotland advertised on A/T, best of them - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108136182560?include-delivery-option=on&model=Z4&advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=12000&sort=relevance&radius=1500&price-from=7500&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&make=BMW&colour=Black&postcode=np45xf&page=4

Looks like that one was a good buy since its already sold. Not much damage either really.

I’d have bought that if I was looking for a 23i and the CAT marker wouldn’t have bothered me as I knew what the minimal damage was. Not surprised it went quickly

Sean that 2nd one is perfect. Can’t get a day off until September but then I’ll be able to travel.
23i or dare I say 30i M-Sport manual, black preferably with red leather interior. Can be swayed by grey/red or even silver.
Pdc and a good stereo under 70k Miles if poss.
