Have found a 35i I quite like the look of, but as always there are a few 'hurdles' - some perhaps self-made (or imagined).
2009, black, 67,000km (41,600mi). Black interior, PDC and satnav (with NZ maps, so someone's made some changes to upgrade the nav system which is usually quite expensive. As these Z4's come from Japan they usually have non-working GPS due to the different system in Japan). Paintwork looks beautiful as it has been 'Duraseal coat' protected - whatever that actually means.
The negatives:
Sadly, the Jap imports almoste never come with m-sport seats, and this one's no exception. (have seen them on one 35iS, but this may have been the only option on that model). I have been blessed with the m-sport seats in my E85 - how much am I going to miss them in the 35i?
The car is also on the other side of the country (ie, in the North Island). I'm in the South Island, so I would have to fly up there and drive it down if a deal was done. This would add another several hundred dollars, and more time as there are no direct flights.
The pictures also show what looks like a bit of neglect inside; nothing major by the looks of things so not a deal breaker (just dirty mats, a bit of wear on some of the switches/buttons and steering wheel, and a well-worn right pedal).
The price seems about right for the year/model/mileage.
I'd appreciate any comments or advice on this; anything I should look out for in particular, as I'm not that familiar with the E89's?
This is the car in question:
Cheers.
