So i have just purchased a 2004 E85 2.5i 38,000 miles which i wasn't even planning on owning but my father last monday announced he had just ordered a E89 S35i DCT and wondered if i was interested in buying his mint E85 from him.Well like i said i wasn't planning on buying another toy for a while as i had only 2weeks ago sold my last project a concourse Mk1 TT 3.2 quattro manual which someone made me an offer on i could not refuse and when he said i could take it off his hands for £3500 i knew i would be stupid not to .
So here it is, its practically in new condition as never been drivin in the winter only summer , the only thing non standard at the moment are the 19inch wheels and stubby which i have plans on adding to. Needs lowering first thing i think so ordered a Eibach lowering kit, then E86 3.0si brakes and de-gingering and front xenons very soon, hoping that it is going to turn out to be a decent little project car , never going to be the last word in performance but i still love the look of the E85 and its nice to be top down and rear wheel drive again. I used to own a 2003 3.0i from 2009 till 2011 so not new to Z4 ownership and looking forward to round 2.
