Description
2003 BMW Z4 E85 2.5i SE in grey. Located in Southampton.
MOT until November 2026 and trailing arm bushes and dipstick o-ring to pass this. Have owned for the past 7 years, it has treated me well over the past few years with road trips to France and the Lake District. Only selling as it isn't getting the use it deserves.
The good points:
Full service history - stamped and noted book with a comprehensive folder of receipts. Generally looked after by Grosvenor BMW specialists in Reading with some home oil/filter changes.
6x new Denso spark plugs in 2026 with 1x replacement coil pack fitted in 2026.
X8R DISA rebuild kit fitted in 2020.
Replacement front top mounts fitted in 2024.
New rear trailing arm polybushes in 2025.
Dipstick o-ring replaced in 2025.
4x new Kumho Ecsta PS71 tyres fitted in 2025.
Relatively rare 'Style 107' 18" staggered alloys with 255 rears and 225 fronts.
Rare heated sports seats in half leather.
Roof motor relocated to the boot.
Amplifier fitted in boot, with Bluetooth audio box also fitted to CD changer port.
Cruise control.
Clutch delay valve removed.
New battery fitted in 2025.
Replaced GM5 module.
Replaced PCV system hoses.
Working air con.
ULEZ compliant.
Cosmetically in good condition - a few scuffs including some corrosion to alloys which has flaked off (see photos). Roof has been cleaned a few times but could probably do with another shampoo (some algae around the bottom of the hood etc., but this will clean off).
The bad points:
Driver side electric window currently not working, replaced GM5 module and replaced fuses have not rectified this. May be related to the window regulator itself; passenger window works fine.
Locking fuel flap works, but squeals when you lock it - doesn't seem misaligned, and I've tried greasing it, but may need looking into. At the moment I just lock it with the flap open, push the pin in and shut the flap again.
Due an oil and filter change, but I've only covered a handful of miles since this was last done (June 2024). I have a large folder of receipts for work in my ownership and from previous owners.
Viewings and questions are welcome, though please bear in mind the car is 23 years old. Please bring proof of fully comprehensive insurance for a test drive, or I can drive with you as passenger.
