The Good
This car has to be the most reliable car I've ever owned. I have no doubts it will start everyday and get me to and from work without a problem. It really is a great car. Although it is the first year the Z4 came out and it's known that the first year cars typically have all the problems, this car has been THE MOST reliable car I've ever owned. Period.

With the summer wheels on, I get non-stop compliments also

The Bad
Front bumper and surrounding area has rock chips. The car is highway driven to and from work 210 miles a week.

Rear bumper was bumped in a parking lot. Will get picture of it but not too noticeable and have never been asked about it by friends or other people who have seen my car.

Had a water leak a while ago. Drains are clean and have been cleaned by me. Water seemed to come in where it was supposed to, but instead of dripping down into the drain, it would hold onto the edge of the top and flow backwards. Although I haven't had an issue for about a year, and dont know if this was just a fluke incident. But of course I don't want to not mention it.



I am looking to get $15,000 but am negotiable given the few issues it has. Please come see the car

If you have any questions or would like more pics/info, feel free to send me an e-mail to npapamarkos@yahoo.com or call 201-406-1803.

The pics below were taken in September and I'll post some more up this weekend in its current state (winter wheels).

On with the pics

Bummer you are selling your Z Nick! You planning on getting something bigger?

I can attest to the condition of Nicks car, its in great shape for the age and has been very well taken care of.

Thanks Chris!

Yeah I wish I didnt have to sell it, but unfortunately I need something a little more practical and cant afford keeping this and getting a second car right now!

[txz4]

if you ever have any interest in selling the m steering wheel let me know.

[nickpapa]

Looks like I chose the wrong time of the year to sell so I'm parting it out and trading it in.

Anyone want to trade me for their stock seats + $700?

[itsregie]

Let me know if you're planning to part out with the suspension. I'm interested in that exact setup. Eibach's, Koni's, and RSM's. Let me know if your're willing to sell/trade + $. You can email me at itsregie@yahoo.com. I would be interested in the seats but shipping those to CA doesn't seem practical.

Wow, such a clean roadster and yet I've never seen you pass by. I've hit up Bill at Bimmer Clinic before as well... GLWS.
