Well its happened all of a sudden now,

test drove thise at the weekend and liked it, took a few days to think and then called them and made a cash offer. got a good cash discount on it and paid a deposit today.

2007 z4 coupe in montego blue with oregon pearl grey leather, nice spec on it too

1 owner, 14,000 miles, pics dont show the colour in the best light its a little bit lighter and bluer in the flesh, may not be to everyones taste but ive always had a soft spot for the z4 and since i have decided that a convertible isnt for me the coupe was the only choice, i didnt think one would come in budget, but at least the recession is good for something :rolleyes:

Nice car! Best of luck with it. That colour is my favourite colour on BMW's - looks like Le Mans blue (i think thats what its called) in photos but it's a lot nicer in the flesh

Well done a lot of car for the money. Do you know what the list price was when new out of interest?

im nearly sure with extras it would have come in over 70k :eek:

Smashing, cause normally after 3 years depriciation would be approx 50 'ish%, thus €35k. At €30k and two years you got a very good buy, well done again.

Zube · 22-04-2009 4:47pm

I'm shocked that in the current recessionary climate, somoene would...

Just kidding

Best of luck with it.

More pics when you collect it, though!

cianclarke · 22-04-2009 5:05pm

Nice one, always liked the Z4 - soft top would have been for me, but looks stunning! Well wear.

Padraig Mor · 22-04-2009 5:08pm

Well wear. I think Boardsies should get a discount in Maxwell's at this stage!

L-M · 22-04-2009 5:09pm

Wouldn't be mad on the.... Only messing:P I think those Z4 coupes are a fantastic car, very very nice.

Best of luck with it, and many happy days motoring to you.

Edit: ^^^LOL!

B00MSTICK · 22-04-2009 5:13pm

What do you make of the autobox on it?

Cyrus · 22-04-2009 5:17pm

its pretty good, its no smg but comes with paddles and holds the gears well in sports mode so good for a bit of hooning about :pac:

mickdw · 22-04-2009 5:20pm

Class car. Would have had one of them last year but the coupe version was outside my price range, Well down now though

Drummerboy08 · 22-04-2009 5:29pm

Lol, no I didn't even know there was an "M", and I can't see it representing value for money over what you got.

Very nasty. Best stay away from that one so. I think i'd nearly prefer the Z4 over it anyway. Less of them around.

ah i get you now,

to a few people itd be worth the extra, if you were a track hound definately, but 12k is a lotta cash nowadays

TCP/IP · 22-04-2009 5:42pm

I had a 3.0litre Z4 auto before the boxster S. Lovely car really enjoyed it. Dont chuck it around to much as its very tail happy.

.Longshanks. · 22-04-2009 6:10pm

Lovely motor. If it was my money i would be going for the z4 coupe over the convertible every time also. Good luck with it!

VolvoMan · 22-04-2009 6:33pm

Lovely car Cyrus, I'm green with envy!

Have you got any tasteful modifications planned for her?

Anan1 · 22-04-2009 6:51pm

Nice car, well wear!

Sqaull20 · 22-04-2009 7:43pm

Very nice, dont think I have ever seen a Z4 on the road here.Auto is the job too, no reason at all to have a creaky gear box in that!!

What is it 250bhp, turbo injected?

Cañitas · 22-04-2009 7:43pm

fantastic looking car.....never even knew there was a coupe version. i used to think the z8 was the nicest looking bmw 2 door but this looks awesome.

bf · 22-04-2009 9:02pm

Fantastic looking car Cyrus, well wear!

unkel · 23-04-2009 12:27am
