The first generation of the BMW Z4, the E85/E86 generation was produced from 2002 to 2008. The E85/E86 replaced the Z3 and is the third model in the BMW Z Series. Initial models were in the roadster (E85) body style, with the coupé (E86) body style being added in 2006.
As per the Z3, the E85/E86 was manufactured solely in Greer, South Carolina.20220303_132835.jpg3.3 MB
The History
The current owner, has realised that he needs a car to be able to fit the grandchildren in and a 2 seater sports car is not ideal, hence the Z4 is up for sale.20220303_133814.jpg2 MB
The Paperwork
The vehicle comes with a full service history, original manuals, V5C and two keys.
The interior is finished in black with cream/beige leather. The leather is in great condition with minimal wear. The car has an aftermarket Kenwood stereo and everything works as it should.
The exterior of the vehicle is in lovely condition, finished in Hell Red bodywork with a black cloth roof, the roof also operates without fault. The car has parking sensors and the wheels are in decent condition with only minor curb rash and fitted with run flat tyres so no need for a spare.
All in all, it's very tidy and you would be forgiven for not realising it’s a 17 year old vehicle because of its lovely condition.20220303_132859.jpg3.02 MB
The Mechanics
The car has a full service history and lots of paperwork to back up any previous work. The car drives well and 2.2 litre 6 cylinder pulls well in all gears.
Gear changes are smooth through the 5 speed manual box and overall it’s a pleasure to drive.20220303_133643.jpg2.32 MB
The Appeal
The BMW Z4 was the successor to the BMW Z3 and despite initial concern over its more angular looks compared to its older brother it soon came into its own.
Fitted with the 2.2 6 cylinder this particular vehicle with full service history is a great example to have. It has the noise, the poise and the power to be a real treat if you show it some twisty B roads.
If you're looking for a well priced used 2 seater sports car from one of the best car makers in the business, this 2005 Z4 has to be worth a closer look!
