EXTERIOR: First I should mention that I'm fairly OCD about my cars. Nothing bothers me more than when a seller states that the paint on a vehicle is perfect, when that is rarely the case. Paint is not perfect even from the factory. Most cars require a stage 1 or 2 paint correction at a meticulous detailer to be truly "perfect". With regards to this car, the paint looks great for its age. There are scattered minor swirls, which could be buffed out with a good detail, but the paint still shines beautifully after a wash and wax. There are a few scattered rock chips over the front hood and both side skirts, which have all been touched up. There was a scratch over the rear passenger fender, which was approximately 3.0 inches in length that was filled in and buffed down before I purchased the vehicle. It's hardly noticeable now and I couldn't capture well with a picture either. I had the front bumper re-sprayed last month (March 2013) because of rock chips and some scratches along the inferior aspect of the bumper from bottoming out on driveways. I have a video of what the bumper looked like before the re-spray while at the body shop so that there would be no question of a possible accident while the car’s been in my possession. I did have the paint depth tested during my original inspection a year ago and there was no indication of any paint or bodywork at that time. There is some very mild curb rash on the front passenger side wheel, which measures approximately 2“ along the peripheral aspect of the rim. The rest of the wheels are rash free, but the rear passenger wheel has areas where the clear coat appears to be failing and also has 2-3 one mm chips. It’s not really noticeable until you’re very close though. No door dings.

INTERIOR: The interior also has very mild wear. There is some wear of the leather surrounding the steering wheel controls and gear shifter. There are also three 1 mm nicks in the leather surrounding the gear shifter and a small 0.5 inch scratch in the plastic coating around the base of the parking brake. All seats and seat bolsters still look great. Additionally, there are a few dried water spots around the instrument cluster that I couldn’t get to for cleaning. The sunglass holder is broken and stuck in the open position. This is a common problem in this car and is actually my second one. I didn’t bother fixing it as I had just replaced it 3 months earlier.

Maintenance:
I don’t have the service records from the original owner, but I called the dealership where it had been serviced previously and they confirmed the vehicle had the crucial initial 1200 mile service as well as the Inspection 1 service. When I purchased the vehicle, I had an extensive pre-purchase inspection performed with engine compression testing by a shop that specializes in BMW’s, specifically the S54 engine. Everything turned out fine except that one of the exhaust cam teeth failed ($900 part) and it had a slight leak in the constant pressure valve. I spent approximately $2700 to perform Inspection II, replace the exhaust cam, repair the constant pressure valve, remove the CDV, update the Vanos bolts, change the oil and spark plugs, and bleed the clutch. They said that the brake pads had plenty of life left at that time as well. This was all when the car had 53,917 miles on it, which was less than 2000 miles ago. There is approximately 5/32-6/32” left on all four Bridgestone RE050A Tires

Honestly, the car's in great condition. The reason I mention these things is that a discerning car enthusiast would notice them and I want to have full disclosure. I’m meticulous about my cars and take very good care of them. I’ve owned an Audi TT Roadster, Lotus Elise, Honda s2000, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayman S and Porsche 997 S and I’ve sold them all online. I'm selling the Z4M because it's a third car and I'm looking to spring on something else without the hassle of a trade in. I'm not sure what I'm looking for next though.

Asking $26,500

FAQ - PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTACTING ME VIA EMAIL.

1. Please obtain your own financing if necessary. I will not carry any loans, nor accept credit cards.
2. Out of state buyers must set up their own shipping arrangements.
3. The car is paid off with Title in Hand
4. I reserve the right to refuse a test drive. Test drives will be accompanied by the seller.
5. Car will be shown by appointment only in Houston, TX. I will not drive out of my way to show it.
6. A $500 Deposit will hold the car for 5 days, after that it is non-refundable. This window is necessary as deposits in past have turned from I need 3 days to I need 3 months to come up with the cash. This epidemic essentially pushes out potential buyers. The rest of the money needs to be wired via ACH or has to clear my credit union before the title is given.
9. Please, no joy riders or daydreamers. SERIOUS buyers only. Pre-approved/cash customers.

This is one of the most aggressively priced Z4M with this kind of mileage out there. PRICE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE AT THIS TIME. DO NOT CONTACT ME TO OFFER ME LESS. IF THE CURRENT MARKET DOESN'T SUPPORT MY PRICE I WILL
LOWER IT EACH MONTH IT IS ON THE MARKET INCREMENTALLY. I AM IN NO RUSH TO SELL.

Looking for a Texas buyer primarily at this time. I'd prefer someone coming in person to look at it so they know exactly what they're getting.

Exterior pictures added. Interior pictures to follow.

[dubsesd]

Great price and well maintained from the looks of it. This one should go quick. Maybe you should add a few interior pics and seat conditions

[mgwatson48]

Beautiful pictures! Don't mean to highjack, but are those the 3" or 4" tips? I think they look phenomenal on the stock exhaust!

GLWS!

[seank]

You've only driven it 1100 miles in a year?

[cobradoc]

dubsesd - Thanks. I was using the wife's camera and she only uses fixed focal length lenses, which didn't work out for interior shots. I should have some up in a day or two.

mgwatson48 - They're the 3" ones that eurosport sells. A lot of E46 guys put them on their vehicles and I thought they looked great. I've done the aftermarket exhaust on a few past vehicles because I love the look, but I never thought it was fully worth it given the negligible (for me) HP gains and drone. Plus the S54 already sounds so sweet.

seank - Pathetic, right? She needs to go somewhere she's appreciated. My work has been crazy and my wife and I had our first kid about 7 months ago, which is why this car is never driven.
