As the title says, it is unfortunately time to sell my Z4MR. With a baby on the way, it just won't get used.
It's been 5-6 years of almost faultless ownership.
I think the main thing I've encountered going wrong was the roof motor, which was replaced with a brand new one from BMW and relocated to the boot to future proof it occurring again.
The car is not far off 93k. BMWSH up till about 70k. It has then been looked after by Barkers Autotech in Wisborough Green up to date.
I'll do a decent write up in the for sale section shortly, but I'm trying to get a rough idea on sale price.
She's space grey with heated black leather and the carbon leather dash.
Photos would obviously help so I'll get some done asap.
Being totally honest, she's not a garage queen, there's the odd stone chip, but no dents or dings. Still in great condition though, in my opinion. For a long time she was my only car, although I caught a train to work, so she didn't get used a huge amount during the week, mainly at the weekend.
The front bumper definitely needs a respray. There's the usual road rash and the lacquer has started to peel in places. I popped into a local bodyshop at the weekend who quoted me £350 to spray it. I'm not sure if that's a decent quote or not but I wanted an idea on cost. Plan is to get that done before selling.
I also have a set up used OEM front and rear brake calipers, I always intended on having them refurbished and powder coated but never got round to it.
MOT runs out in November, so I'd put a year on her before selling. She's only ever failed an MOT once (Rear coil springs) which were replaced. Then since that the advisories have been either tyre related or rusted exhaust clamps, which I had replaced with a kit last year.
If I get the bumper resprayed first, I'm thinking of asking in the region of £11,750..................does that sound fair?
It's obviously a bit of a niche market but time is against me a bit and I need to get moving on finding something with more seats! I've been dragging my heals a bit.
Thanks
Mike
