Well specced example.
Seller says everything but parking sensors.
Also on Autotrader at £8495.

If I had still been looking I'd definitely have gone to see that one - love the interior!

Love the fact that the seller states that it has no parking sensors as they ruin the look of the bumpers :lol:

They're not wrong the old style parking sensors look terrible.

Lovely looking car,

however to my eye that service book doesn’t look original (certainly not the same as my one)

Lots of magazines and brochures but not a single service receipt on display .. make me wonder

I just bought this one! New to the Z4 club - and with a Coupe no less . It's in very good shape, though I do think the servicing was a little cavalier by the first owner if the service log is anything to go by. The seller was also confused when I asked to see the rest of the service documentation :roll:

That said, I did a fairly thorough check on the engine etc, everything seems to be running really great. If anyone has suggestions for things I should check on right away, then do let me know as I haven't had a BMW for a while now!

Great news - welcome to the Montego Blue E86 Club!

If you've already had a good look round I can't think of anything you need to check, but you may want to keep an eye on the engine oil level as these engines don't have a dipstick!

Then just enjoy it!

Congratulations and welcome to the Si club ., it’s s lovely place to be

Looks a lovely car

Glad the service history stacks up

I’d personally get it serviced pref a Insp 2 and brake fluid and check the age of the tyres if it’s not done many miles

Then enjoy it ... they are rather lovely

Just noticed this on AutoTrader - looks like a bit of a bargain if it all checks out.

Red leather too - lovely! Although the dash might not be to everyone's taste.

The market does seem a bit slow.
A lot of cars are for sale for quite a while.

cheapest coupe on ebay at the moment, sellers normally ask for a premium if white! however "+PREVIOUS DAMAGE REPAIRED TO HIGH STANDARD" is a bit worrying and the badge placement on the boot is questionable!
prices for the coupe don't seem to have dropped in the past year though

As they have mentioned the previous damage I would put money on it that will be a Cat C or D - if it is I'd want to pay less than that.

Coupe prices don't seem to have dropped since I bought my first one in 2014.

Seems it was originally grey .. and it’s a CAT C so not minor damage

 

[earthdweller]

That is the automotive equivalent of a double bagger ... I wouldn’t touch it with yours !!

Yes, I wouldn't mind betting there is plenty of grey paint when you open doors, bonnet and boot!

Definitely looks like one to avoid!

This one on the other hand looks good............

It's faintly amusing if you look at the MoT history for that 'white' one as well. Lot of driving sans ticket seemed to have happened in the past.

definitely one to avoid then! Double whammy, hope no one gets caught out by that one

Hey all, I'm looking for a carbon black or titan silver coupe, preferably low mileage (sub 60k) and sport spec. If you know of one, please let me know!

You are squeezing into a small hole asking for sub60k so have to expect higher asks :wink: this looks a cracker & if nailed down to nearer £10k could be a decent buy

Getting on 11yrs old you really need to view some as a £8500/£9k car can soon become £10k + after spending on necessary service / maintenance
One linked appears to be tiptop , you don't find the 108s refurbed with diamond lip very often(can be mega expensive) so that tells me a very decent owner

gorgeous bi-tone leather & Top spec! Whats not to like (Except the paint colour )

 

[srhutch]

Just how 108's should be refurbed

Not a fan of the interior though, but might look better in the flesh.

 

[biojo]

that cars identical to mine but mine 57 plate and center of seats is same as bolsters.

When i had wheels done it was all new bolts but outs powder coated chrome

Be nice if it does sell for that
