Does anyone know this Z4 Coupe

Post by TitanTim » Mon Jul 10, 2017 11:28 am

A bit of a long shot, but is anyone familiar with this car? reg LM58 XUP,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-58-BMW-Z ... Sw-89ZR4WI

Any comments on price against year/mileage would be appreciated.

The rear lights don't look standard to me, are they legal, they look pretty dark but could just be the light and camera. Same goes with rear glass.

Thanks.

Tim.

Rear glass is probably factory tint (option)

rear lights probably tint spray applied.

Never heard of Mazzini tyres, but that may simply be the seller/trader thinking that an advert claiming '4 new tyres' is better than leaving 4 used premium tyres on it.

Although a service every 3 years doesn't bode well for the care the owner has bestowed on the car. The first couple look like the owner has waited for the OBC SI to tell them it needs a service, but the last one was obviously just forgotten about.

Doesn't see a bad price for the mileage though - although it is an auto :poke:

Thanks for the replies, I quite like the CSLs to be honest, I've never heard of the tyres either which is a bit off putting as it would be an extra expense putting decent rubber back on and I doubt the seller would swap them out again. Service history is so so considering low mileage, my old Z3 went 3 years without one with a previous owner as it did such little mileage and it didn't appear to do any real harm. The car caught my eye as the bodywork looks to be very good but I feel price is a tad high. I'd prefer something more local. Unsure about an auto box on these if any good.

I'm getting more tempted to go for one.

If the rears were double dish they would look more 'normal' looks a nice car, the rear light will be a stick on tint which will just pull off.

Looks nice :thumbsup:

Thanks Tom. see what you mean about the rear dish, I expect the previous bought the wheels seperately than going for a staggered set up maybe.

It looks to have been owned by someone keen on the car which is why I hoped it might be someone on here.

Agree. You see this so much with traders putting really cheap poor tyres on performance cars. It is an immediate price negotiation point as you would have to change the tyres to something that is in keeping with the performance and price of the car. It's not a 500 quid hatch.

I'm finding it slightly off putting to be honest as if there was anything wrong with the car mechanically what cheap fixes were done, a strange tyre choice indeed but a quick google reveals these tyres are very budget minded :?

Basically put the cheapest tyres going on a 260 odd bhp rear drive car :cry:

Well it might be for a manual (although I may disagree) but for a flappy-paddle it seems very ambitious!

But good luck OP. :thumbsup:

Are the manuals pricier then? I would prefer a manual in all honesty as parking in the garage requires careful crawling and unsure an auto would be trickier.

Tungsten Silver? 255bhp? clearly the dealer doesn't know much about Zeds - could work to your advantage :wink:

Thanks for the replies, decided to pass on this particular one, really would prefer a manual to be honest and a more original car with no mods etc.
