FS: 2007 Z4M Coupe black/black in NY, mods & maintenance

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

Sold

Item Interest

Selling because I miss having a roadster.

PROS: Rod bearings, Vanos taken care of. FANTASTIC brake feel, acceleration, feeling of connectedness from the light flywheel, noise from the headers, intake, and exhaust. Looks amazing. The coilovers make the car very nimble without ruining streetability. Barely any squat / dive / body roll. No Nav!!! Car has been cared for obsessively, I garage it in Brooklyn and mainly use it to visit relatives in Long Island on weekends where the roads are better.
CONS: A few exterior issues that I plan to sort out, see below. (or, shoot me an offer before 3/22 and I'll cancel my appointment with the body shop, you can take the car as-is and save some money). Lightweight flywheel means that the car vibrates at low RPM high load so you have to avoid that at < 1500 RPM. Flywheel chatter at idle doesn't bother me at all though.

There were times I missed my old coupe but having the hard top definitely solved that. Can't beat top down during summer and hard top for colder months.

GLWS, hope you find yourself in Z soon!

Updated with pics

Could use some advice. Do you think the following mods help or hurt this thing sell?

1. APR Splitter
2. Lightweight flywheel

Asking because when I get the bumper resprayed this Saturday, it's more convenient for the shop to leave the splitter off, so that makes sense if it will help resale. and I feel like doing the flywheel job might help.

[Reborn_]

With all those mods, I would leave them (unless you don't care for the splitter - could sell that separately). If the car were otherwise stock, or near stock, I'd say ditch those parts.

[3002 tii]

I’d ditch the splitter, it makes the car look more track focused / missed than it is. Before someone even clicks on description, just seeing that pic in a listing may turn off most buyers looking for a stock-ish road car. Re flywheel, remove only if affects driveability.

If you want to sell that diff btw... let me know. Swapping pumpkins would be really quick.

Thanks for the input. Yeah I'm open to selling the diff, PM me. Also TIL they're called pumpkins.
