What is my Z4 35is worth? Upgrade itch

Post by sunnydays » Thu Apr 20, 2017 3:31 pm

Hey all, currently considering selling my Z4 as the upgrade itch has hit lol.

Specs:

2010 Alphine White
34k miles
326 19" Alloys
Black leather with aluminum trim
(Pretty sure) It has every extra apart from comfort access and idrive
3 owners
Full BMW / BMW specialist SH
Currently covered under bmw warranty

So really my question is how much is this worth and do you guys think this will stick around or shift?

I can see a 2010 44k mileage 35is at 20k.
Would £20k be a fair bet for this?

Thanks!

£20K is about right i would say...

I would say your big sticking point is the lack of I drive and screen....

Is the £20k on you saw a private or trade sale? £20k for a 6/7 year old car is perhaps a teeny bit high if the spec isn't right IMHO.
Edit: I see it's private .. I also see a 2011 for £18k with slightly higher miles.

You'd get a mint Z4M for that :evil:

Upgrade itch? Just throw bolt-ons /parts/tune at the z4. The n54 has amazing potential.

Wouldn't touch any Wankel engine car with a barge pole unless you want unreliable expensive motoring. Stick with the Zed.

No sports car is 'cheap' to own or run. I am aware of the issues surrounding the Wankel Engines need for rebuilds due to apex seals, but at £2k a rebuild it is not exactly expensive compared to some of the rebuild bills I have seen..... This car will not be driven to much really. The 35IS I have at the moment is an evening / weekend car, and only sees 200 miles a month if that!

The Z4 has been a fantastic car, no doubt about it, but at the same time part of me wants something I can make my own, I can get a close to stock RX7 and overhaul it, where as I feel the Z4 is too complete / well rounded a car to modify (In a good way....)

Will be listing the Z4 up for sale at some point and will let you all know how it goes.

Thanks!
