2006 Silver Grey Z4M Roadster
Current mileage 112,900
MOT until 14th April 2022 (no advisories at its MOT last month)
Located near Weston Super Mare in Somerset
£12,300
I bought this car from a member of the forum in January last year, and it has been absolutely fantastic. I thoroughly recommend buying a car through the forum, and I sold my previous 3.0i Z4 to a happy forum member last year. My pandemic-related work means that I haven't been able to get out and enjoy the Z4M as much as I had hoped, but it has seen some glorious sunny trips around Somerset, Dorset and Cornwall in my ownership (hence racking up 700 very happy miles in the space of the last month!). Due to working from home now, and my girlfriend moving in with me, now is the time to sell both of my cars and replace them with one car that does the job of both (an Audi TTS). I will miss this car, and sincerely hope to be able to own another when space and circumstances allow.
General spec
OEM carbon leather interior
The all-important black leather Z4M electric heated memory seats including original, unused medical kit under passenger seat
Sat nav with updated disc
Cruise control
10 speaker DSP sound system with factory CD changer
Relocated roof motor (roof works every time, and can be operated from the key fob)
Recently refurbished original wheels, almost unmarked
Toyo Proxes T1R tyres (loads of tread left)
Xenon headlights
OEM wind deflector
Rear parking sensors
Working cup holders!
Only modifications to speak of
H&R lowering springs (very subtle reduction in ride height)
Aftermarket bluetooth hands free/media kit installed beneath centre console
Gruppe M carbon induction kit currently fitted and shown in pics, but I will be removing this and selling separately. Edited 15.5.21 10:30 am: Gruppe M intake now removed, sold and paid for.
The only changes I have made during my ownership are as follows:
Replaced the "M" kick plates/sill trims as the original items were slightly marked
Replaced the three "M" badges on the wings and boot lid as the original items were slightly faded
Installed thicker rear spring pads (Genuine BMW) as widely recommended after fitting H&R springs to a Z4M, to even out the ride height
I would describe the body condition honestly as "very good/excellent" for the age and mileage, with some expected age-related marks. I am a bona fide car enthusiast as well as a keen amateur detailer to boot. This means I treat the car with mechanical sympathy, only ever wash it after using snow foam, and always use two buckets, a deep pile wash mitt and good quality cleaning products. The previous owner and I both kept the car garaged. A full machine polish by the previous owner, twinned with a recent silicone coating means that water beads of beautifully, and dirt pretty much falls off with the pressure washer. Everything on the car works as it should, and at this price for a fully-functional Z4M in good condition, with replaced rod bearings and clutch ready for another 100,000 miles of motoring, I expect that the first person to see it and drive it will be the happy next owner.

The on-board computer is requesting its oil service in 125 miles, but I will perform that task myself at 112,900 miles so that the new owner can drive away safe in the knowledge that the oil is fresh.

Thank you for the kind comment - a little lad walked by while I was cleaning the car today and made a similar remark
