Z4 3.0 Coupe market watch

[JamieZ4C]

I wasn't meaning specifically the M version of the steering wheel , more a mfsw as opposed to just the base wheel with no controls so as pic

Ahh... yes, I see what you meant now!

Yea not a fan of the green on it at all.

Greens the best colour for a Coupe!

We all like different things. BRG on a BMW just doesnt do it for me.

On an old Jag then yes definitely.

 

[ColinBR]

Do like a silver grey though

Not sure if it's been mentioned in here, but what do people make of this... It's really quite local to me, but wonder what the consensus is on the price?

I'm not sure if I'm showing my ignorance here, but why has he got a silver engine cover?

Early Si N52

It looks like a good example and has done very few miles, but if you start to use it the value is going to plummet!

And personally I wouldn't spend that sort of money on a 3.0Si. I got my M Coupe in that sort of budget, even if it has done some more miles. :roll:

It has a silver cover on the engine because it's an early model with the N52 engine rather than the N52k that they started using around September 2006 which had a black cover. There are various small technical differences but both make the same power and having had one of each I couldn't detect any difference in how they drove.

Thanks for the replies, I agree it would be a shame to actually use it. My first thought too was that "hey, you'd get a decent enough Z4M for that money"... I'd clocked the earlier engine, too.

That's the problem with very low mileage examples. For a car to use something with 60 or 70K £thousands cheaper would make more sense.

Apologies for the engine reference - that was more for "Z4C_er" really!

No need to apoligise, I only know that as this forum is such an excellent wealth of information! Food for thought, don't think I'll waste the blokes time...

Well unless you just want to try one. :lol:

The first one I looked at was at a trader 10 miles away and I knew I wasn't going to buy a Titanium Silver with Black SE model as I'd just had a Silver/charcoal 1 Series for 6+ years and really didn't want the SE seats. But a test drive in that convinced me I wanted an E86 despite having 2 run-flats and 2 non-runflats, so I found my Ruby Black/Pearl Grey Sport with lower mileage over £2,000 cheaper 60 miles away being sold privately!

Could be about right. I think pre COVID there were about 60 E86s available at any one time

Fingers crossed - going to get it on the ramp today, service it and do the top mounts. Really pleased so far!

Car looked a nice one with the silverstone + black individual trim .
Was the service history hit & miss ?
