Description
After more than 12 wonderful years together, it's time to part with my beloved Z4. And I can honestly say I'm going to miss her terribly.
This isn't just a car I've owned. She's a car I've genuinely loved.
From the glorious sound of that 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six coming to life, to the pops and burbles on a downshift, she still puts a smile on my face every time.
There's nothing quite like driving with the roof down, the heating keeping you warm, the cool breeze around you and your favourite music playing through the fantastic sound system.
And yes, she's absolutely one of those cars you turn around to admire after parking.
One of my favourite things? The surprised looks in the B&Q car park when I manage to load more into her than someone with an SUV. Roof down, naturally!
**Beautifully specified**
Finished in stunning Havana Metallic with Ivory White Exclusive Nappa leather and the Pure White Design Package, she's an elegant and distinctive example of the E89 Z4.
Highlights include:
- 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifters
- Pure White Design Package
- Heated electric seats with driver's memory
- BMW Professional satellite navigation
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Xenon headlights
- Enhanced Bluetooth and USB connectivity
- Dual-zone climate control
- Electrically folding mirrors
- Electric retractable hardtop
- Multifunction sports steering wheel
**Cherished and carefully maintained**
I've taken great pride in looking after her, both mechanically and cosmetically.
Notable work includes:
- 2025: Roof rewired by renowned Z4 specialists Zed Shed
- 2021: Injectors, spark plugs and ignition coils replaced
- Original alloys replaced with 19" BMW alternative to the factory wheels known for cracking
- Alloy wheels fully refurbished
- Both rear light units replaced
- Professionally detailed and ceramic coated
- Service history and receipts for most work carried out
She's been cared for with the intention of keeping her, not simply maintaining her until the next owner comes along.
**Why am I selling?**
After 12+ years, it's simply time for a change. But finding another car that gives me the same feeling hasn't been easy.
She has character, performance, elegance and just the right amount of drama.
I'd love her next owner to appreciate everything that makes these Z4s so special and enjoy her as much as I have.
And if you buy her, I hope you still look back at her every time you park. I certainly always have.
