Let's try this again. I bought an Alpina Roadster S and this and this one barely sees any mileage! I'm keen to see whether pricing is on the money. This was a forum car which I bought a while back but has been sitting and I need the money now.
It's an Individual model so has the very rare rubinschwarz ruby black paint (black which gives glints of metallic red or purple in sunlight, really stunning in person and the pictures don't do it justice). The interior is champagne nappa with piano black trim. There were only 4 of the 3.0Si Sport Automatic made with this colour combination!
This is my third Z4 over the years - I had the 2.0i and the 2.5i prior to this (both manual), and I didn't miss the manual much having the auto / paddle shift. The shifters make easy work of holding whichever gear you need, with the advantage of being able to cruise effortlessly too! After this I bought the Alpina and neither of them sees the mileage they should be seeing. In an ideal world, I'd use this for commuting but it's too nice for that!
I've had the following done:
I am in the process of chasing down the service history - this was lost by the previous owner but I will provide a detailed spreadsheet with all the information I have managed to piece together. I was aiming to send out my replacement blank service book to each garage consecutively and have put a lot of the work in place to get this plan in action, but haven't started sending it out just yet due to a new job!
I'm looking at £6250 5750 5400 for a quick sale and am located in Hampshire. The car has a fresh MOT.

I've had the following done:
- Exterior detail (a 6-8 hour one, nothing extreme or harsh but it's reduced the swirling and brought out the lovely ruby red/brown in the Rubinschwarz). You'll notice it's a lot cleaner than the photos in the ad I bought it from - look at the exhaust!
- Replaced the tyres
- Had the front RTABs / lollipops replaced - this was tramlining like a... tram. The tyres and these bushes contributed. These cost £200 fitted.
- New battery - after buying the car, I went abroad for a week, and when I got back the car was screaming at me! The alarm was going off because of a dud battery.

much of it irrelevant & far better to highlight what history you do have of the car than nothing at all .
