SOLD For Sale Z4 3.0si E86 coupe Auto. (SOLD)

[True-Blue]

Thanks both, and again sorry to hijack OP

Ask the seller to ensure the car is cold when you get there. I’d happily do this for any buyer.

Mr Tidy is correct, the N52 & N52K are both prone to lifter tick when cold, but I wouldn’t be concerned by that if it goes away once the car is properly warmed up.

I wouldn’t actively search out a black top over a silver top, I’ve had more than one of each and you can’t tell the difference with the bonnet closed.

Best of luck with the viewing

Good Morning friends.

Just to clarify, this is a 2007 3.0si coupe with BLACK engine cover and is not afflicted by tappet noises.
I think now best to discuss engine cover colours on an other thread to avoid confusion, and tainting my car.

I’m not sure whether to repost my advert.

Nothing posted has tainted your car, no reason to repost another thread.

Looks a great example, GLWTS

Quick Bump. About to advertise on autotrader. Or maybe offer it to WeBuy.

Just a comment, to be safe, I wouldn't have your VIN number clearly visible on an open forum along with number plate and car model etc.
Im sure chances are nothing would happen, but to be safe...

Sorry to hijack this thread, I'm going to view a silver topped 3.0 manual tomorrow. Would it be a concern and is there anything specific to look for when viewing?

Cheers.

Then again it doesn't seem to do any harm, and soon stops once the engine is warm and has been driven a bit.

I'm on my 3rd N52 engine (in my 3 Series) and it tends to happen when it has been sat for a few days.

Back on topic this looks like a great example so GLWTS Costa.

Great car, new owner is a lucky person at an excellent price & mileage!

Relating to the 'tappet' noise, these tappets can get a bit stuck, I followed good advice and took the car to a remote area and ran the engine (when warm) at 4,000rpm for five minutes. This gets the hydraulic lifters baxk to where they need to be. No more tapping. Also good to run this engine in Shell 99 Ron Super. Stops any 'pinking' (rattling atlower revs under load using torque of engine). Suggested driving slowly through revs up to 4,000rpm. Opens engine up.

Guessing this is the car they now have listed on Autotrader for £13,990.

Looks great that car, very well prepared. They sold my Coupe many year ago, good to see their still going.
