2007 E85 3.0si Sport Manual – Rare Spec – 58,000 miles

For sale is my 07 E85 3.0si Sport manual currently at 58,000 miles.

I have owned this Z4 for 3 years as a weekend car and have done more than 10,000 faultless miles. I have great memory with it as it took us all the way down to Monaco for the GP and back up through the Alps in 21, then to Le Mans Classic in 22, on a road trip in the Pyrenees in 23, etc.
But I am now forced to sell we have a baby on the way and need 5 doors.

It took me a while to find a 3.0si manual with a lowish mileage and the right spec, so I hope it can go to a forum member before putting an ad on AT!!

Specifications and options:
E85 3.0si
2007-reg so with the sought-after black-top N52K engine
Manual Gearbox
M-Sports Suspension
Silver Grey
Stunning Individual Amarone Leather and piano black trim Interior
Electric and heated M Sport seats
MFSH
Rear parking sensors
Cruise control
Auto lights and wipers
Auto-dip interior mirror
Wind Deflector
PDC – Rear Parking Sensors
Xenon Lights and headlight cleaning

The car is fully standard except for the following, which I think are must-have anyway:
- The roof motor is relocated in the boot
- Original ZHP weighted gear knob
- One foam removed from the Sound Generator (I still have it so can be put back in)
- Roof coded to open and close with key fob

Maintenance and condition:
The car has a full-service history and has always been maintained at BMW dealers or specialists (RBM under my ownership).
Mechanically the car is in great condition and the MOT history is almost faultless (!).
Next MOT due 12/08/24.
Everything works at it should, including the roof mechanism.

Service history:
27/06/07 (0 mile)
16/02/10 (8,747 miles)
25/06/11 (15,685 miles)
16/06/14 (21,690 miles)
03/07/15 (25,854 miles)
14/01/17 (32,773 miles)
19/07/18 (36,668 miles)
18/07/19 (41,421 miles)
24/07/20 (45,003 miles)
31/07/21 (50,807 miles)
22/07/22 (52,829 miles)
02/08/23 (56,630 miles)

Under my ownership, I have changed the rear suspension coil springs and replaced both front suspension anti-roll bar drop links.
The car sits on virtually brand-new Goodyear Eagle F1s (changed in August 23 at 56,700 miles).

On the negative side, RBM noted a tiny leak from the rocket cover at the last service. Nothing dramatic, the car does not drink oil at all (never topped up in 3 years), but probably worth replacing at the next service.

Lovely condition inside and out. Looks a lot brighter and newer than the age of the car. However, this is now a seventeen year-old car so there are a couple of stone chips and 2 small scratches on the front bumper (see picture).

Included with the car are two keys and a leather-bound service book.
Based in North London NW3.

Price: £8,500

I am probably forgetting something so any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,

Pierre

That’s a rare interior colour and suits the exterior silver grey very well :thumbsup:
Similar mileage to my own. GLWTS although I’m sure you’ll not need it.

I see in your signature you have a Guzzi V7. I’ve got one of those too :rofl: Hopefully you’ll get to keep that 8)

Market seems slow, and maybe the price is a bit punchy?
Anyway, this is going on AT tonight.

In the meantime, I am reducing the price to £8,750 for the forum.

The market is slow for any sports/luxury car at the moment. Same with motorbikes. Will be interested to see how you get on with advertising it via Autotrader. I may have to do the same if a house move comes to pass :(

It is a lovely colour combo indeed.

If I put my 3.0si in wbac, it comes up with a valuation of £1500, which is obviously way off but still shows what the market is like (what market :cry: )

I owned this car from feb 2018 to dec 2020 and it was a great little car, never let me down in my ownership except the roof which I relocated to the boot one weekend, zhp shifter was also done by myself. The best part of that car was the interior and I was sad to sell it. GLWTS
