WANTED: 3.0si Roadster

TCWade · Post by **TCWade** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:15 pm

Hi all, been looking for a 3.0si roadster for a couple of months with no luck up to now. Had a few near misses where I was the first to be too late, however.

I'm looking for it to be:

- black/grey/silver
- any interior colour (except maybe the blue)
- max 75k on the clock
- in decent condition with FSH
- budget of up to around £8500

I know they're few and far between so might be a waiting game but if anyone could point me in the right direction or if I could persuade somebody looking to sell it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

Hi

It would be helpful if you list any "must have's", heated seat,sat nav ect

Apologies completely slipped my mind. I wouldn't class anything as a must have, it's the car and the engine that's got me hooked! Heated seats would be nice but like I said nothing is a 'must-have'.

Manual or auto?

Having just 4 and 3 days ago respectively bought a Z4M Roadster and an Alpina Roadster S in quick succession, I might be putting my Z4 3.0Si up for sale....which I was not previously intending to do (as you'll see from the page on my website).

However, it has only got 55 or 56K miles on the clock (IIRC), has 4 virtually new Goodyear AS2s, it had an Insp II Service by the supplying dealer when I bought it 2 years ago and had covered only approx. 3-4K miles in those two years.

When I bought it I paid up-front for 3 years transferable Warranty in advance; so it still has nearly a full year of warranty in place. A condition of maintaining this warranty was that I have it serviced at least every 2 years (irrespective of miles covered) and hence it has just been in for a further Oil Service (despite the service indicator showing it still had something like 12,000 miles to go until the next service).

It's just having a full 12 Months put on it as well.

It is in very good condition (please see the photos): http://www.bmwclassics.co.uk/gallery/in ... i_Roadster

The downside is that based on the above I'm afraid I want a bit more than the upper limit of budget to part with it. Spring and Summer are coming and I intended to use this car for Sundays and Holidays, as I won't be necessarily using the Z4M or Alpina much.

Doesn't match your colour choice but looks a nice example & at more than reasonable money at £6700 on 66k

£1k dearer on 64k how about this black with red leather for £7700 http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... al/6667280

You did do it right...but TBH I think you may be better off pursuing the one Mr Wilks and Srhutch posted above. It seems like an absolute giveaway at that price and well within your budget.

I also would'nt rule out a 2.5Si as they can offer good value & are not that far off in performance terms
This with hardtop & imola/black trim is a nice example viewtopic.php?f=41&t=94955
