Z4M Roadster - Silver Grey

Regretted sale: Z4M Roadster (Silver Grey) Mileage 114,000, 12 month advisory free MOT Apr 2022.
£12,500
Located – Kineton Warwickshire (a few miles from Caffeine & Machine/ Gaydon Motor Museum, if that helps)

It’s with huge regret and excitement that due to the imminent arrival of our first child later this summer, I’m sadly forced to sell my beloved Z4M roadster.

This lovely example has been owned and looked after by several forum members and was purchased at the beginning of June 2021. I’ve not been able to use the car as much as I liked hence only managing to complete little over 1000 miles since ownership.
Vehicle specification:
- Silver Grey
- Carbon Leather Interior
- Sat Nav
- Cruise Control
- CD player and changer (10 speaker)
- Original alloys in great condition with plenty of tread on the tyres
- Rear parking sensors
- Xenon Headlights
- Electric (heated) memory M sport seats

Modifications:
- H&R Lowering springs (drives fantastically and is sporty, not overly firm). Slight ride height reduction
- Retrofitted, aftermarket, hidden bluetooth stereo integration (installed under the centre console)
- Roof motor moved to the boot (coded to the key too)

This is a very clean, honest, and original looking example for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are very few minor age-related items around the car. The car has been meticulously looked after by me and previous forum members. The car has very comprehensive service history and comes complete with both keys, a folder of receipts and paperwork for all the extensive work carried out.

Everything on the car (including the cup holders), works as it should. The rod bearings and clutch have been replaced. It’s had a new battery, radiator, brake pads, gearbox & engine mounts. Replaced diff output seals, new diff and gearbox oil and brake fluid changed. Thousands have been spent on this car with service stamps and oil changes throughout it’s life (including the important running in service).

I’ve just had the car MOT’d and was told the vehicle was in great condition with no advisories at all. A real testament to how well looked after this car has been throughout it’s life. The car is garaged and ready to go for its new owner.

If it wasn’t for requiring the additional garage space and upgrading the family wagon (Probably moving to a 530d x-drive touring.), I’d have no intention of moving the car on.

I will most likely also list on Auto Trader from May onward.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

It seems like more than a year since you drove this pretty thing off my driveway! Just looking at your pics brings back memories of lots of happy, sunny miles. I'm sure the next owner will leave with a huge grin on their face :D :driving:

Congratulations on your impending new little friend :)

Nice looking Z4MR :thumbsup:

Regards servicing, can you please share any information relating to the expensive front & rear Brake Discs & pads, last being replaced and at what mileage?

Additionally, has the Vanos ever been repaired / replaced & at what mileage?
 
Car looks great, I’m not interested in buying but I’m curious if you have any favourite local driving routes, I’m just over in Southam. GLWTS and the little one!!
 
Hi All,

Further requested photos attached. Very comprehensive service history with tons of paperwork and receipts.

Unfortunately, no mention of Vanos replacement.

Thanks,

Thank you!

There aren't a ton around here to be honest. But I do enjoy the roads from Gaydon to Kineton, Wellesbourne, Edge Hill, Kineton MOD, Burton Dasset etc. When they're quiet they're fantastic to drive, but unfortunately tend to always have too much traffic for a spirited drive. Also they tend to have great tarmac too!

What about you? Any recommendations? For the family wagon! :cry:

If you’re asking about a car, catering for kids isn’t in my wheelhouse I’m afraid, the most I have to worry about is the in-laws!! Our other car is a Kia Ceed hatchback, you do get a decent amount of kit for the price but I’m not sure it’s big enough for what kids seem to need these days.

As for roads, I quite like heading down to Daventry and back on the A425 or towards Warwick/Leamington via the Fosse Way/Harbury Lane but I’m not very adventurous :oops: I do get to wring it out and have some fun on those routes though!!

Now also on Autotrader - Thanks

Great and open to the masses now :trampoline:

Hopefully, you may find someone that doesn’t realise it may very well need new brake Discs & pads etc, all around….
- plus, the Vanos being investigated / repaired or replaced, due to NO prior evidentiary work, being completed already..

….There’s a potential hefty combined, £2k+ bill for someone, waiting in the wings :o :?

But the positive, in life is: all it takes is one person to see & totally fall in love with ANY car & cough the ask :driving:
 
Not the most helpful comment. Always one! :headbang: :fuelfire:

You could literally list a few items that could go wrong on every single second hand listing on this forum.

It's a 16 year old car. Anyone trying to buy a 16 year old M car and expecting to spend nothing during the ownership is potentially naive.

You can buy a 70-80k mileage example that needs more doing than on this car and will cost far more to maintain. It's been owned by several forum members and had a garaged life. It's a very honest car and I'm not hiding anything.

The brakes are absolutely fine. The discs are in good condition and their is plenty of life in the pads.

Agree regarding the Vanos. It's not the sort of thing you can inspect on the driveway and I wouldn't know what I was looking for anyway to suggest the condition.

As always any potential buyer is welcome to come and have the car inspected by a third party etc.

Please don't respond Woolybear as your input isn't welcomed or valued if you have nothing positive to contribute towards a genuine sale.
