Am considering the red e89 3.0i sdrive they have up for sale, and was hoping someone may know of them, or be close enough to check it out.
Would post a link if I could
Cheers

I can see why the price may tempt for the 30i E89 but its 72k - 2009 with Se seats , 17inch wheels & navless so plenty going against it .
Bear in mind around £10k you can get a much newer ( 2011 - 2012) similar miles Msport 20i or Msport 23i & i know where my money would be going . The 30is are worth seeking out but for me it needs to be the right one

They've had quite a few Z4s in the last few years.
I live a couple of miles away, so could take a look at it if that would help. I have spoken to the guy there once and he seemed OK.
PM me if you'd like me to take a look at it, and tell me exactly what you'd want looked at.

Mr Tidy has kindly agreed to have a look at the E89 for me.
The said garage, have offered a very reasonable px price on my car.
The question is, should I wait and do as Mr Wilks has suggested , and consider 23i m sport with higher spec at similar budget 9000.
Should I be considering e86 coupes?
The car that Mr Tidy is going to look at , doesn’t have nav, but not to bothered as never use it.
Doesn’t have m sport seats, would be nice but not a deal breaker, wheels I agree will probably change at some stage.
Good px price is obviously a tempting offer, but would I be better to wait and head in a different choice direction?

Selling privately can be a pain in the ass. You'll obviously get more money, but if the px price is a number you're happy with then it might be a great option!

Hi, sounds like you need to go & try a few different cars to get a clearer idea of what’s best for you?

I'm afraid there' seems to be a lack of good ones across the whole country. I'm on a 300 mile journey to pick mine up as there wasn't a single car in Scotland at the right spec/price for me
Not so concerned about travelling for the right car, but would be nice to try some that were closer.greg81 said:Phoenixboy said:Yes your rightSmartbear said:Hi, sounds like you need to go & try a few different cars to get a clearer idea of what’s best for you?

Am going to look at M.M.M’s at the weekend so we shall see

Where are you? I’m in Urgashay if you want a look round an e89, it’s only a 2litre though
Rob
Appreciate the offer, I’m in ExeterSmartbear said:Phoenixboy said:Not so concerned about travelling for the right car, but would be nice to try some that were closer.greg81 said:I'm afraid there' seems to be a lack of good ones across the whole country.

Yes, near the Haines motor museum & queen camel

That does look to be a bargain even if it is quite light on the bells-n-whistles. My 3.0 didn't come with much but its still a great car to drive, I've not got sat nav but not fussed about that (the area that would hold the sat nav holds my sunglasses instead!). I also don't have the sports seats but that has worked out to be quite nice anyhow. It all depends on what you want at the end of the day I guess!
I’m undecided at the moment.JamiesZ4 said:
Will see what Mr Tidy thinks when he’s had a look.
I don’t want to jump in for the wrong reasons, just because they’ve offered a good px, 4500, which I would accept in a private sale.
Call me cynical, but I question such a fair offer from a dealer, is the E89 a lemon, or does he just feel he can turn a profit from both cars and is happy with that?
