Item Interest

SOLD to another forum member so she's found a good home!


I never thought I'd do this but the combination of my work travels and my girl moving down from Vancouver to Seattle, I just don't drive her anymore so will most likely be putting her up for sale in Spring.


EXTERIOR COLOR (PAINT CODE) Alpine White III (300)
INTERIOR COLOR (UPHOLSTERY CODE) Imola Red Nappa leather (LSIM)
FACTORY/OEM OPTIONS
Auto-Dimming Interior and Exterior Mirrors, BMW Assist + Bluetooth, Carbon Leather Interior Trim, Cruise Control, Heated Front Seats, Power Front Seats With Driver-Side Memory, Premium Audio System, Satellite Navigation, Storage Compartment Package
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT + COMMENTS
BMW OEM accessory carbon fiber rear spoiler.

48904 miles. I don't expect this to up more than 1 mile since it's off the road at the moment.
Stock except for a few minor upgrades:
some coilovers I'd bought from the forums
220Ms from an E92 M3 wrapped in Conti DWS with plenty of tread left. A couple of very small rock chips on the rims but no rash.
zhp shift knob
BMW stainless pedals (I forget which ones but they were definitely genuine BMW ones)
Currently has Passport smart cord hard-wired in but I will probably remove it before the sale of the car
Tinted windows (I forget the grade, I think 20%?)
OEM alarm



A few rock chips here and there, as you'd expect from the age and mileage.

The driver side arm rest was cracked when I bought the car. I'd always planned on buying some leather Z armrests but never got round to it. (link)

Slight scratch on the steering wheel control piece on the left, otherwise close to perfect interior.

Passenger side seats are in perfect condition. Very minor wear on the driver side.

Pictures should be available here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?...UE&usp=sharing


Just throwing it out there at the moment to see what the interest level might be from remote buyers not in Seattle, and also to see what people think about price.

You might want to post some pictures. Just a thought.

I think this color combo at this price will go fairly quickly. Good luck!

[IWantAnE92]

I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow if Seattle weather allows. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing to list her so not too many details. I'll update the OP as I remember things...

[IWantAnE92]

Can't add pictures for some reason.

I don't.

I had planned on keeping the car for a very long time so figured I didn't really need them so never bothered keeping hold of them.

<UPDATE> I can get hold of the stock suspension from the guy that sold/installed the coilovers. They're just sat in his shop at the moment

[Honorebel]

Car looks amazing with those wheels! How are they with those offsets and being lowered? Did you have to use spacers negative camber or anything? BTW Glws!

The price seems too high considering the off-color front bumper (indicative of an accident either while you owned it or before) and interior flaws (e.g., cracked driver side door panel). It is probably worth $28-30k in perfect condition but more like $25k in its current condition, in my opinion.

Front and rear bumper as well as the side skirts are the same shade of white. They are slightly different than the shade of white on the metal parts though. I'm wondering if this is something with alpine white color on the Z4?

My car is white & there is definitely a difference, but it's not just on white.

There is always a slightly different look to paint on poly bumper skins compared to metal.
It can be done but it is difficult to match.
A good painter will custom match (modify color) on the bumper.
On metallic paint, technique also makes a huge difference in the way that the flake lays down.

To compound things on the Z4, the car and bumpers were painted independently on different lines, then assembled.

In fact... if the bumpers and body match; I would then suspect a repaint of the bumpers had been done.

Thanks for this inTgr8r!

I'd always wondered about the mismatch because the front bumper has always been slightly off but I was told there were no previous accidents when I bought the car (and had a clean carfax etc) and I definitely haven't had any in it

[OptionlessM]

Very nice. Bad luck with the sale. Keep it.

[donoman]

Bumper respray is no big deal usually. Lots of people will respray bumpers for parking/rock chips repair.

[IWantAnE92]

Bump for some spring-time temperatures here in Seattle!

[IWantAnE92]

It's been a mild winter and plants are already starting to bud!
