Hello all,
I've been a member since last December and have been looking since then for a Z4.
Started of as an E89 and then changed to an E86 when I saw some of the photo's on here.
The E86 was then confirmed as my "within budget" dream car when I finally managed to view one in the flesh.
However this had 122k on the clock which was too much for me.
I viewed a few more but none of these quite hit the button.
I then found a 39k one for £8k in very good condition
Unfortunately I was a day too late as someone was already coming to view and they ended up buying it
This was followed by finding a 40k one the following week with many toys and in outstanding condition for £9250, started at £9950
During the negotiation of this one I found out it was actually the same 39k one I had missed out on the previous week as a dealer had bought it.
I arranged to go to view (280 miles) on the Sunday but got a call on the Friday as his wife was going into labor and he said I would have to wait a couple of weeks to view.
I agreed to this but when I contacted him after about a week to see if we were still on he said it had been sold
However as luck would have it a one popped up on Gumtree with 70K on the clock for £7500 and it was only about 5 miles from me.
I went to view and knew it was exactly what I wanted
It was a different colour and different interior from what I thought I wanted but it just worked for me!
So a week or so later I am now a proud owner of a Silver Z4C and I absolutely love it!
It's got full service history and has just had the inspection II completed.
Also came with a reconditioned set of 108's which I will probably sell as I think the current wheels are perfect.
It has had a few mods including, a quad exhaust, a short gear stick, drilled discs and 19" CSL reps!
It is now parked up in my garage, which took many, many hours to empty all the crap that I had accumulated.
So now for a couple of years of pleasurable driving before considering the jump to an M.
Couple of photo's - comments of any sort welcome
