Ownership & Maintenance
When we purchased the car three years ago, we immediately had it professionally inspected and gave it a comprehensive health check. Any maintenance items identified were completed, giving complete peace of mind.
The car has been used sparingly and enjoyed as a weekend and fair-weather vehicle. It has always been looked after properly and presents beautifully both inside and out.
Condition
The paintwork remains in excellent condition and the car attracts compliments wherever it goes. The interior is equally impressive and reflects the incredibly low mileage.
The car drives exactly as a low-mileage Z4 3.0i should. The engine is smooth, responsive and eager, while the 6-speed manual gearbox makes every drive engaging.
The early 3.0i models are increasingly sought after because they feature BMW's famous M54 engine. Enthusiasts often favour these cars over later versions due to the engine's reliability, simplicity and character. The naturally aspirated straight-six delivers power progressively and sounds fantastic with the roof down.
Finding a genuine 42,000-mile example in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult.
