Z4 3.0 Coupe market watch

Thanks, weirdly they posted up a pictureless ad earlier today with it priced at £12900 then as soon as the pics appeared its £13500!

The dealer itself seems to have a stack of good reviews, but take your point it does look like a super market and its a good 3 hour drive away from me...
 
Yep, that’s a sport. It’s fairly low spec - no cruise control, no bi-xenon headlights, basic stereo. The satnav isn’t worth anything these days.

On the plus side it’s an E86 and it’s Monaco Blue, which is the best colour :thumbsup:

It looks nicely presented, although pricey for the mileage, but that seems to be the market at the moment. At that price I’d expect 25k less on the odometer, even from a dealer; or you could haggle £1,500 off.

Either way, it’s never going to cost much in depreciation. Check that it’s been correctly serviced, good MOT history (indicating sympathetic ownership) and if any remedial work has been done (e.g. suspension refresh, ABS pump, water pump).
 
I'd agree with what others have said - at that mileage I'd want it cheaper than that.

It has the M-Sport seats and steering wheel but when I clicked on the "Specification" tab on the advert it mentioned 17" alloys, and I seem to recall the Sport models always had 18s - so it just might be an SE with some options.

TBH though the M-Sport seats are the crucial one! And the Sat Nav is very dated in its operation.

The wheels on it are CSL reps as well, those are 18s, so it may well have had 17s on at some point and a previous owner had them changed.

The dealer hasn’t put any effort into the advert so the wheel size slipped the net. Given that most of their inventory is vans, the car showing up there seems either a part ex or an auction purchase. I’d be checking the service history with a fine toothed comb!
 
If you enter the reg here: https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/CarDetails/Index it comes up showing it as a Sport model. I had the same issue with mine - it was listed on some sites as an SE but this site, and the original paperwork all listed it as a Sport model. Might be something to do with the late 2009 cars.
Looks like a good one to me - heated sports seats, xenons, low miles - and a fair price.
 
I agree, it’s basically the same spec mine is give or take a couple of aesthetic changes so I’m biased :D

It is fairly priced though given the current prices some places are asking!
 
Thanks both, how can you tell its got heated seats? I might just go take a look at it.

And great shout on checking the Sport thing via the warranty site!
 
The final interior shot shows four buttons on the panel just ahead of the gear stick - two of those are the heated seats.
It looks like a good one to me, certainly worth a look - as always buy based on condition and service history.
 
It does look a good one, one of the last off the line, and reasonably priced too.

The guy selling it is not doing himself any favours advertising it as an SE imo.

If I was looking to buy, I would definitely be going to see that one.
 
Saw this 2016 3.0si with 47k on the clock. Looks decent. On for 10k.

Sorry me again guys, this one isnt far from me, it says SE in the ad title but Sport in the description. It has I think the upgraded head unit and Xenon lights. Contacted the seller he says it is a Sport https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 1271841911 I think those seats are M Sport?

That looks like a good price for the mileage and they are definitely M-Sport seats. Another clue is that Sport models had a black headlining and I doubt anyone buying an SE would have chosen that as an option!

As BenM says you can tell whether it has heated seats by looking at the switch panel in front of the gearlever. Heated seat buttons are at the extreme left and right with 3 small lights above them for the 3 heating levels.

Cars with Bi-Xenons only have one thumbwheel next to the light switch for panel light brightness, non Xenon cars have a 2nd one for headlamp levelling (Bi-Xenons are self-levelling and are a big bonus)!

Hope the viewing goes well. :thumbsup:
