WTB Z4 Roadster (...feeler...)

Item Interest

Good day peeps. Long time lurker, infrequent poster here, deciding to put out a WTB / advice thread. As title says, want to buy (or more specifically “looking into potentially purchasing”) a first time for me Z4 roadster as a 2nd (actually 3rd) vehicle / potential DD.

{ EDIT - Vehicle found!

- So this is now a "Bumper" WTB}

Here's what I picked up:

2003 Z4 3.0 Roadster, Auto, Sterling Gray / Black, 43k miles, Convenience, Premium, and Sport Packages, Heated Seats, Bi-Xenon's

Not factory fresh but has lots of potential. Drove it home 300+ miles without a hiccup. Lots of fun but wow, those RFT's!

Now need to start addressing issues:

- Replace front bumper that has a nice gash in it (sticking with original, I like having the fogs)
- Restore headlight covers
- Repair top motor (latches / unlatches but doesn't go up or down on it's own)
- Replace tires (thinking of going non-RFT, lots of choices...)
- Get it professionally detailed (to get the numerous little scratches / swirl marks out)

Looks like you've got realistic expectations with you hunt, so good luck with the search!

I might have what you're looking for word for word and then some, maybe.

^ Phill, yeah, seen your posting before, very, very nice indeed

but the "and then some" part is true, more then what I'm looking for (and to spend). GLWS just the same!

Thought I found one here (would've been worth the extra cost to ship), but already sold

2005 3.0 Auto 55k loaded for $13.5

Found one! Now need a front bumper. Sure would like to find one for less than cost of new (even after CCA discount).

Congrats on the purchase! Don't be picture shy!

^ Thanks man, but really, seen one gray E85, seen them all, no? LOL

But since you asked...
