Dunno. I would pay it if I needed another Z4C, liked the seat colour, had wads of cash under the bed, and had lost the ability to check out the market for current prices. In the meantime I will just have to buy eight E39's instead.
Someone will buy it.

Not at all , i am a whippy fan :wink: merely pointing out that a auto Si is a potent weapon & off the line i would take it against a manual Si or even a Z4M :o they just rev & go so quick that 99% of manual owners would never get close :driving: :wink:

For anyone interested in this, please be aware of the headlights. The previous owner had taken out the factory xenon's and has fitted a set of aftermarket projector halogen units. Can't say it's the most professional job, the wiring looks unprofessional and the light control unit is still that of the xenons, meaning it has no manual tilt adjustment either. I found this out after 4 days ownership of the car, and returned it as the bill would have been £1500+ to put back the factory xenons - however I spotted it is back up for sale, at the price I paid for it. It also has a full set of rubbish budget tyres (Accelera PH1) - seems very much to me like the previous owner had run it on a budget.

On the positive side it has had the ABS Pump refurbished due to the common failure they suffer on a lot of Z4's. Also when I checked the fault history with INPA, it seems to have had the electric water pump replaced which is another positive with the N52 engine.

Thought I'd let anyone know, if on an off chance, they were to look at this and ended up very disappointed as I did.
