I am putting my Z4 3.0si coupe out there for sale. It's a reluctant sale, so it will only be advertised on here for the time being. I'd much rather it went to a forum member who will look after it and enjoy it as much as myself and the previous owner (also a forum member) has. I spent a while looking for a Zed which ticked all the boxes for me, and this one was really cherished by a member on here for around 12 years, and in terms of condition, spec and service history it was spot on for me, and has met all my expectations since.
Why is it for sale? I'm putting this out there for offers so I can hop out of this into a Z4M Roadster. The car itself is a joy. Perfectly comfortable for my needs as an actual car to get me somewhere, while still feeling a little bit special. I think I'm just a roadster guy when it comes to a proper drive for enjoyment, and every time I sell a roadster to get into a coupe I go about a year before I start missing it. I'd rather this car went to someone who would use it to its full potential as a sports car. I was originally going to use this Coupe as a kind of 'GT' car for real life and buy an mx5 or something cheap and cheerful for summers. However you only live once and I've always fancied owning an Z4MR which I feel could tick both boxes for me as a car for real life and the occasional blast on a weekend too. So this hopefully won't be the last you'll see of me yet
Proper pictures to come in about a week or so once I'm back from holiday. Hopefully the below photos tickle your tastebuds for now.
Some information about the car...
– 2006 Silver Grey Coupe
– Rare Amarone Nappa Leather with Piano Black trim.
– 84,820 miles - will probably rise a little bit as it gets used, but not by much.
– Current plate: F16 ANM. Original Plate: YG56 OMM
– Clean MOT history, with not so much as an advisory in previous ones tenure, and the one clean test very recently in my ownership
– Good service history with earlier stamps by BMW and recent ones by independent (more detail on the ones stamped below). Previous owner said they serviced it annually regardless of mileage, and always garaged.
– Folder full of invoices and paperwork. A fair chunk of recent maintenance work done by Birds BMW.
– 2 Keys
– Rear parking sensors
– Heated Seats
– Michelin PS4's all round, with plenty of tread left yet
– 18" Z4M Wheels
– Weighted 'M' Gearknob. Not sure the specific model but it's nice. In follow up photos it may have the stormwerks one I've currently fitted. I'll be keeping this for my next Z, sorry!
– Tiny hairline crack between the kidney grills (pictured). This is an older pic, it has matt black kidney grills now.
– Based in W Yorkshire.
Recent expenditure before my purchase:
– Lollipop bushes
– Rear trailing arm bushes (Bill pictured)
– Gear oil
– Rear Pads and Disks (bill pictured)
– Gear Shift Linkage (bill pictured)

Expenditure in my ownership
– The cars been spot on so visual mods really to go for an OEM+ look. All of which can be reversed pretty easily...
– Maxton front splitter
– Tekarbon rear spoiler lip
– Gloss black wrap for roof and side mirrors
– Eibach E10-20-010-05-22 Lowering Springs. Doesn't ride any more firm really imo, just a bit lower. No issues with driving around town and the roads here are crap. I have the OEM springs still at hand and new owner is welcome to have them.
– Matt black kidney grill. Quite sure I have the original silver ones knocking about. Happy to give with sale.
– Original BMW Stubby aerial - might keep this again for my next Z sorry! I'll get a cheaper replacement stubby as I've no idea where I put the original whippy.
– Had it undersealed for peace of mind by Krown Rustproofing (Well regarded and been talked about on here before). Comes with a 5 year warranty I believe.

Looking for £12,000.
Full disclosure, I've had a decent offer from a garage, if I part-ex towards a Z4MR. I may take them up on it if there's no serious interest over the next couple of weeks, however I'd much prefer to sell it to one of you lot obviously.
If any questions, I will be happy to help. And of course if anyone has gone from a 3.0si to an M I'd love to know your thoughts and experiences.
