I've not had the car that long but circumstances have changed and it's just not practical to keep the car.If you have any questions PM me and I'll get back to you.The car is located in Darlington close to a main line station and also Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley Airports.
It's advertised elsewhere for £13,750 with offers considered which I feel is a reasonable start point.

EXTERIOR
One of less than 80 Imola Red roadsters left in the country, the bold lines of this Z4 M present beautifully. The paintwork is in good condition and boasts a deep shine with no signs of fading that can sometimes happen to red cars. The sculpted exterior is in excellent condition with no unsightly dents to the arrow-straight panels each side.
On close inspection there are the usual stone chips to the leading edge of the bonnet or front bumper, all light lenses are crystal clear and crack-free. All rubbers and seals around the car are in perfect order. The black softtop remains in as good condition with no rips or tears, and is operable from within the car or alternatively from outside using the key fob.
INTERIOR
The inside of the Z4 is adorned in BMW's individual champagne leather, the leather is in lovely condition but as you would expect with this sort of seats there is a little wear on the drivers side seat bolster .
The carbon leather dash and centre console present beautifully, with no signs of scratches to any of the switchgear or trim within the car. The chunky steering wheel retains its factory texture, as does the illuminated gear knob. The upgraded 10-speaker sound system, coupled with the car's iPod connectivity, provides a first rate acoustic experience whether the roof is up or down.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Under the bonnet lurks the 3.2-litre, 24-valve straight-six engine. Producing an astonishing 343hp, it rockets the car from 0-60 in under five seconds. On first turn of the key the car springs to life with the addictive straight-six growl.
Unsurprisingly the engine bay is very tidy indeed, with absolutely no modifications to be found. All plastics and components appear factory fresh, with everything in fine fettle.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The Z4 sits on the correct 18-inch light-alloy wheels. All four are in good order with only minute curb marking to one of them.
The alloys are shod in tyres with ample tread remaining. Due to the traditional hydraulic power steering set-up on the Z4 M, the tyres are not run flats. This means that not only are they more reasonable to replace, but they also provide a slightly less harsh ride.
HISTORY FILE
First registered on 11th June 2007 and supplied by Synter of High Wycombe, this Z4 M has covered a mere 66k miles and is complemented by a full service history.
Present in the history file is the original leather document holder complete with no less than nine BMW booklets. The dealer-supplied service book is stamped with 6 services including the all important running in service at 1156 miles. The most recent service having been a very expensive inspection 2 that included valve clearances carried out at 58017 miles.
In addition to this the car was recently diagnosed with a noisy Vanos unit so that has been fully overhauled with all new parts and is running exactly as the factory intended. At the same time the Clutch Delay Valve was removed, this is a very popular modification that allows much more feel to the clutch action.
Given that this forum is frequented by a lot of true Z4 enthusiasts I feel that I should point out that this car is a daily driver not a garage queen. It is 8 years old and does have signs of wear and tear like stone chips and seat bolster wear but is in overall very good condition. It is certainly better than some of the " Immaculate" ones I went to see at some dealers.
