Nice colour and nice wheels. Price seems to be heavily weighted on mileage (rather than age) for the Z4 models up to about 2005. It’s low mileage with a bullet proof engine and automatic gearbox. Price looks about typical for a dealer, worth a look in my view and £6,000 would be a keen price. Personally, I would prefer a manual but many people like the automatic with the big 3.0 engine. I'd be happy to cruise down through France in that one. :)

Nice car and as others have said should be possible for £6k it is the middle of winter after all.

Had big engines BMs with both manual and auto, I prefer the auto as the tip function is always there if you get bored

Watch the rear springs

What hardtop, it's in my spare room!

On a standing start the m cars will win hands down.

But on a run there will be little difference between the 3.0 and the 3.2, just status symbol.

THE BAD POINTS:
The front bumper had been sprayed on one side and was a bit rough, two chips in the windscreen two bad scratchs one on the top of the bumper and one on the front wing and the interior was a bit tatty got the price down to £6200

Hmmmm bad scratches and paintwork sounds like one thats been ill treated and to pass on.

Might be worth waiting until one crops up on Z4 Forum.
