Hello all,

Currently got an '03 Roadster, which I bought high-mileage and cheaply as a weekend car. Now I'm commuting as well (~12 miles each way along some pretty nice roads) and ideally want a different car.

After weeks of searching classifieds, magazine reviews and so on, I think that the only thing I want is another Z4, so therefore I fancy an upgrade, to a newer/fresher car with some of the options I originally wasn't worried about.

So, I'm after a spec like the following:

Must-haves
  • Xenons - current car has these!
  • Sports seats, heated if in a roadster, and preferably in red or one of the stone/beige colours
  • MFSW
  • Manual
  • Ideally less than 50k miles, and no more than 60k

Nice-to-haves
  • Not Sterling Grey, Black, Stratus Grey, Silver Grey or Space Grey - am partial to the Bright Red and the Montego Blue
  • Hard top if a roadster
  • Bluetooth prep
  • 10 speaker upgrade
  • Non-runflats ideally, the ride's firm enough as it is!
  • Electric folding mirrors would be nice due to the places I have to park.
  • It'd be nice to have a dashboard with a finish other than brushed aluminium

You may be wondering why I haven't split the roadster/coupe requirement - in truth I can see the merits of both, and enjoy having the top down an awful lot, and it can work for me from a practicality perspective. However, a coupe would be more sensible given the less compromising space, plus the roof will be easier to keep clean!

Basically, the right car can be either, with the caveats mentioned above (IE heated seats for a roadster) and I'd be happy.

Cheers,
Simon
 
Hmm... The only bits I don't fit are 3.0Si and folding mirrors.
Would you be interested in a 2.5Si?

Black, heated leather, piano black dash. 55k. Xenons, manual, MFSW, 10 Speaker upgrade, non run flats fitted in Dec 2013.
 
How fast are you looking to get rid? I'd rather a 3.0 for a "proper" boost over the pre-facelift 2.5, and Silver Grey is nice enough, but I'd rather one of the rarer colours, particularly one which is easily distinguished from the Sterling Grey.

Having said that, it sounds nice with the right spec so I'll keep it in mind and hold out for a little while.
 
Am in no immediate rush, just always keep an eye if a potential buyer comes along.

Good luck with the search, but let me know if you get really desperate and we can talk some more.
