What do people think of this Z4C?
- Thread starter worton
- Start date
Worton - glad to help. That car has got to be worth a look if the price has been reduced. I think there are plenty of folk looking for good coupe bargains out there so don't hang around - I missed out on a few I was interested in looking at. Perhaps someone on here who is nearby can take a look at it for you - perhaps start another thread asking. It may save you 4 hours.
Be careful and check the details before you make the journey - don't assume AUC means the car has been serviced properly (I posted on here a few weeks ago about a car on the BMW AUC site with a missing service). Call the BMW customer service line (£1 per minute) and get all the dates when it was in for work at a BMW dealer (for servicing and repairs) - then call each dealer up and see what they will tell you (they are not supposed to give info on repairs only services but if you get the right person and are polite you may get more info than you think).
One Team and Taz - thanks. Really pleased with the car.

True, it only has the half leather interior. As leather was free, it takes a very unusual person to down spec it to cloth.srhutch said:
Being honest, I think you would need to be prepared for the lack of full cow being a problem when you come to sell.
Just had a response from the salesman there. i sent him an email regarding my questions and his answers were attached to my email in bold.
Regarding his wheel comment i forwarded the photo of the damaged wheel from the bmw site. Is it just me or do the answers feel a little blunt? this is the first time ive asked any questions about the car and the second time ive properly spoke to him.
Ive heard that BMW Sytner Coventry are a very good dealer and are near me so i might pop in and ask them if they have any coupes in stock.
Update: Ive just had a response about the wheels: This must have been sorted previously as no wheels on the car are like that Chris.

33mpg? Are you sure? That is above the official combined listing for fuel consumption so your car must be very special.
^^OP, mark these words should you press on with the purchase.^^
You'd be lucky to see that travelling at motorway speeds for any extended period if your car is a 3.0 auto.
Whilst the BMW auto box is a very good one IMO, it does sap fuel consumption and some might say performance. Alebit off the line to 60mph and the auto is away, theres not much to keep up..... 8)
to be honest i expect to get about the same as my s2000 which is about 25-30mpg. so on a full 50 litre tank i do about 300 miles which is about 27mpg? That is however around town. My Mini Cooper S was the best ever mpg/performance car. got about 42mpg on the motorway but it was so quick and fun to drive. id have one again if i wasnt getting a z4
been to southport today .Up through Liverpool and back through Ormskirk and M58 M6 and M56 back to Shropshire.So a mixture of roads.Speed coming back averaged 70 to 80 on the motorway. Car is reading 33.6 mpg. Never saw another Z4 all day.Lots of attention on the front at southport outside Marine Gate Mansions
Ok I've spoken to a guy named Jason at Sytner Coventry and its a completely different story. He was very nice, knew hid cars and genuinely seemed very good at his job. They don't have much in yet but he's pointed me towards this:

I like the spec, black is nice and love the colour interior, the only thing I'm not sure about is the wood gloss finish on the dash and the mileage seems high for the price.
as for purchasing off them id happily pay a bit extra as I felt like I could trust them

I was at Dick Lovett today having my own car serviced and test driving this:
While there I had a look at this 3.0Si Coupe Auto, and overall condition looks good. Here it is:
I know that the OP has queried the condition of the wheels, so here's a close up of the front near side:
Other than a bit of tyre trim splatter, it looks fine. I'd want the roundels replaced though.
Also, can confirm, not full leather, but actually the half leather half cloth looks alright. I agree though, odd choice, but a dealer could have ordered it thus, not necessarily the customer.
Hope that helps (M3 was epic by the way ;-) )
