Description
After nearly 5 years and with a new baby joining the family, it's sadly time for me to sell my Z4.
Spec:
- 2004 registered BMW E85 3.0i Z4.
- 116,750 miles
- Sterling Grey with black interior, brushed aluminium trim and black soft top.
- Heated and electrically adjustable seats with memory function
- Automatic xenon lights.
- Automatic wipers and rear mirror
- M sports suspension
- Wind deflector
The good:
- Full service history nearly all at BMW main dealers or specialists. Intervals: 13,805, 25,634, 40,224, 49,264, 56,054, 60,494, 74,945, 86,834, 94,682, 105,027, 114,421
- Stamped book with lots of paperwork and receipts in a pack, see pic.
- 3.0L straight six cylinder M54 engine is a peach. Pulls strongly with linear power throughout rev range.
- Crisp gear shift, helped by preventative gearbox oil change
- Last service in November 2024 at 114,421.
- Work in last year totalling over 1k: new induction pipe, new water pump, new alternater, new brake pipe.
- 4x Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres but rears are now an advisory.
- Genuine BMW ZHP gearknob
The bad:
- Advisories from recent service include the following: rear tyres low, diff seals leaking, the other rear brake pipe is corroded, exhaust flage bolts and nuts corroded, rear trailing arm bushes perished, slight oil leak and intermittent misfire (which has resolved itself)
- Small dent on rear quarter due to low speed parking bump
- Front bumper has some lacquer fade and a small amount of paint flakiness so may want to respray. Paint is generally very good though considering age and has been regularly clayed, polished and waxed by myself.
- Wheels would benefit from refurbishing
- Drivers bolster leather is worn but the structure of the seat is good and this could be repaired.
- One key
- The 20 year old sat nav is temperamental but is not needed.
Overall this has been a fantastic car and I'll be sad to see it go and would like to see it go to an enthusiast. It needs a bit of work (I've disclosed the issues I can think of) as reflected in the price.
Message me if you have questions. Accompanied test drives are fine if you have the necessary insurance.
