Sorry for the delays for photos, but the cars so god damn fun that I haven't wanted to stop to take pics :o

Ive had it since monday and it makes me smile everytime I start it up.
I was most suprised by the sound of it, My cousin has an E46 325ci and it really doesn't sound a patch on this. Love the way the car just pulls in any gear and im quite pleasently suprised by the fuel consumption :)

Heres what its got, plus a few more options that probably aren't mentioned..

Spec..
Metallic black with Red Leather.
Manual 6 speed
Sat Nav
Bluetooth & telephone connection
Upgraded Carver 10 speaker system (sounds amazing)
Xenon lights
Upgraded 18" 108 Alloys
6 CD multi changer
Heated seats with driver memory
Individual New England leather
Rear windshield
Rear parking sensors
Climate control
Auto headlights and wipers,
Sport button (though thats standard and probably doesn't do anything, just looks cool).
Its had the runflats ditched already, which saved me a job.
Full BMW service history
3 Owners
50,000
Service 9,300 Miles away which is an Inspection II

I knocked a grand off the price and ended up paying £10,500 for it :)
I ended up going with elephant for insurance in the end, managed to knock another £50 off , so Im now paying 1100 for 10 months which is acceptable for a 21 year old with 0 ncb :o

Anyway, on to the pics....

Very nice indeed, the only thing that I am not keen on is the wheels, I prefer the split ones (will find example!), you should be proud of that motor though :)
 
Not too keen on the bright red, but other than that SHWING!

Awesome buy, definitely one i'm going to be looking at once ive built up some cash reserves.
 
Amazing how cheap these can purchased now, silly prices!

Looks great, love the red leather but the seat design looks a little flat at the bottom and not very supportive for a sports car?
 
I was going to say something about the leather, it looks a bit stretched?

Other than that, what an amazing spec for the money :) I always think that Sat Nav/Leather/Phone prep/ Xenons make the car feel so much more useful

Can you get hard tops for these, like on the old 3coupe drop tops?
 
Yes you can get a hard top, they look really good, they are £2.5K new and like hens teeth second hand :( (if I was picking up a second hand one that would be a must)

Leather is fine, that just what it looks like, driver seat obviously get plenty of wear!
 
Looks very nice mate - enjoy :)

As for the seat, perhaps it was previously owned by a total chubster and thus it's a bit stretched.

Perhaps i've missed it but what engine does it have? I noticed you mentioned a E46 325 - is it the 2.5 engine?
 
Cheers guys :)

As headrat says, the red leather looks so much better in real life!


As for the driver's seat :confused:

Its almost exactly the same condition as the passenger seat which has hardly been used, bar a minor scuff (driver side) on the side bolster which Im getting sorted.

heres a quick pic.

Granted the driver side is a little more stretched but that seems to be the area that all of the New England leather seats stretch after a while.

Just wow, great car at a great price. But worried at how utterly battered that drivers seat is though.

Spec me a leather seat help thread QUICKS !!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

The seat does look a little worn, but maybe it was just a big fat moose who was the cause. Anyway, lovely car at a great price.

I would take an M3 though, but I like a roof over my head and power ;)
 
It's more at the rear base of the seat which looks creased and misshapen, it's typical for a Z4 with it's lower standard of build quality to the rest of the brand. Bloody Americans.

Excellent car there, especially for 21, still could have done better for Alsager, no? :p
 
Very nice car. Not something I could consider owning unfortunately so I've never really looked into the prices. If I was asked to guess the price though I'd have guessed it an being much more than £10.5k :eek:
