Well, after a bitter departure from my Z4 coupe,I sold in October [ the ABS module failed and i sold it to one of the online buying websites as i'd fell out with it after spending 3000 on maintainance, it was the final straw]
It didn't put me off Z4s entirley though, i still wanted one but seeing as it is purely a second car used on the weekend, i thought i'd go with a cheaper, earlier roadster.
looked at one on thursday night last week that was an utter pile of sh1t, all panels dented 8 owners & looked/felt like it had had a hard life,
Tried to buy the Merlot roadster advertised on here, however someone beat me to it and it was a propper journey too.
Anyway, a mate of mine found this for me late on friday evening, a 3.0i in Titan silver with black oregon leather, not many options bar heated seats, storage pack & 107 elipsoids.
The car was located in Bromsgrove, which is below the midlands, i am up in preston, i contacted the seller, who'd owned the car for 6 years with one previous owner to him.
IT was well within my budget, and that included travel costs, so i quickly left a deposit, and hopped on the train down to birmingham.
A friend of mine picked me up in birmingham and drove me the duration to Bromsgrove where we reached the guys house - a nice house with a 66 plate X5 sat on the drive, his 'upgrade' which certainly put me at ease.
Quick look around the car, all paint is original, no scuffs, dents, scrapes - wheels have a bit of corrosion & front bumper is heavily chipped/cracked paint/flat finish but thats it. Drivers bolster a bit discoloured but not worn through.
Started the car - drove it down the road, it felt tight as a drum, got it onto a dual carriageway effortless performance, agile & no knocks/bangs etc - knew it was the one for me. Took him home gave him some cash & Set off back to Preston!
Very happy with the car, I actually dropped it off at the bodyshop last night to have the front bumper painted, as it was quite shocking.
NO real plans as i have a 'show car' if you will for my every day duties, so it will be nice to get the Z4 in OEM mint condition to use at weekends and to take to shows
this is her, after a quick wipe over with a microfibre & some detailing spray, awaiting a full machine polish! ordered centre caps & fitted the stubby off the coupe `
some pics from the ad
and my daily e46
thanks for looking! updated pics to come shortly :driving:
