Good result! A straight six sounds so good! Talking about valeting have you tried a can of tyre foam cleaner to clean the engine bay? Warm the engine a few minutes switch off then spray the entire engine bay including engine. Use all the can around £5 for a tin. Then close the bonnet. The next day open the bonnet and be prepared to be amazed! As the spray is designed for cleaning rubber tyres all the rubber piping gets conditioned and becomes shiny new. Just try it !

I considered MX-5, Z4 and AF Spider. One of my colleague told me that i should buy MX-5, but since i already own 2 BMWs and the maintance is quite similiar between them, then i decided to look at Z4 first. After the test drive i decided to buy it. It is 2,5si 160kW with red M-sport interior and... oh my god. This car is just fantastic. Every time i drive it... No regret at all. Only one thing is bad, if i consider other people. The sport seats suits me very well, but if anybody has 85kg+, then the fitment into those seats is not quite good. I am a little person, so i am just fine :D

I will never need any more car than this as it's got plenty of power and performance to get you in trouble. The styling was about 20 years ahead of its time as it looks very current now (moreso than when it was introduced).Simply a great fun roadster! Pick one up if you can! You will not be disappointed. 👍

Had a z4 myself for a bit, but went off country road here in US and popped back tired and into the ditch it went but not to much damage at first glance, but when they got under it at the BMW dealer having bought it used they found a lot of issues at 8000 dollars worth according to them. And yes the lovely motor in the boot worked for awhile then stopped and I tried to replace which was a pain in the.................. It was nice car though for driving around and commnets I got on it. Love old MG's though but rust buckets here in the US mostly and expensive. Thanks for the memories Matt. Have a good one.

Although even restored ones can also be rusty depending on when they were restored. I saw one up for sale and it had been restored in 2001 and was already having the rust creeep back into it.

That dreaded trio of lights on the dash means your abs pump has sticking bushes. £2500 new fitted from a Main dealer, or £300-£400 to get reconditioned. With those lights on it’s not only means your have no abs brakes, traction control or stability control and its an instant MOT failure, I Know because mine failed on my 2007 Z4 Coupe. Luckily got the original reconditioned whilst I waited before my next MOT was due.

I had a 2.5 late 2003 one. Roof didn’t work, needed a mot which it passed. Body work was a bit ratty but i tidied it up. Just needed a steering column motor on it so I got it refurbished for £400. All told it owed me £1250 and I sold it for £2000 so not bad. Yours nicer than the one I had

What was wrong with your roof? Did you fix it?

@@NathanMannin the motor was seized because of the water ingress all these z4 cars suffer with. I got it working by cleaning up the motor and relocating it BUT the hydraulic hose had a hole in it somewhere which I think is what the real issue with the roof was all along. I was going to sort it but it wasn’t worth my time, the roof still went up and down as the electric latches worked off the button so you could lower it manually and raise it again that way so it wasn’t a big deal.

They still look fresh. Your friend who bought the car got a great deal. So much car for the money. Can I be on your list of friends?!Something fascinating in taking an older car, a quick refresh, and potentially another chapter in the car’s life can be written. I hope he makes some memorable trips in it. 👍

Was searching for one of these couple of years back as a weekend driver but decided it would be too harsh, bumpy ride etc. So I bought a 630i same era instead.... and not doing my research thoroughly ended up with sport suspension (fitted as oe apparently) and virtually new ( so I cant junk them) runflats 🙄 So I didnt get the supple ride quality I was after ideally, but still a really lovely motor and the 6 is still a real looker even at 18 years of age and excellent build quality. Just have to navigate the bumps....

I had the same car but a very low mileage 10/10. Had the perfect sand beige interior and I sold for +$30k AUD. Tried to buy it back at the end of covid. Nope, keeping it for life. Amazing car. Future classic with that exquisite engine/gearbox. Good Boxster S probably slightly better but MX5 of any type a total dud by comparison.

What a thing for under two grand, soft top straight six with a manual, pay more for a doggy MX5 or several times more for an S2000. Matt, if you fancy a 350Z my son has a 2006 convertible he might be looking to move on as he wants an Ariel Atom now, not seen you do a 350Z, and its grey like the Z4.

Please explain why "auto" lights are great? Drivers should use dipped in rain etc and auto lights don't always come on so it would appear you are driving without insurance! Someone out there correct me but last time I read the construction and use act / highway code if you use wipers then dip lights are required. This gives the insurance companies an out knowing how Imsorry BUT out to not pay.... 🧐

BLoody hell Matt, the prices paid for cars in the UK is so different. A BMW Z4 2004 year with 288,000klm (auto) here in Australia is $8900! Even with our crap exchange rate that is still more than twice what you sold that car for. They are a good looking car but repairs here in Oz are ridiculous. I import all my MGF and MGTF and Skoda parts and even with freight I see savings of over 50%.
