2006 BMW Z4 Roadster

The BMW Z4 was introduced in 2002 and was styled by BMW's Danish designer Anders Warming. The car had its own unique appeal that helped it take on the Porsche Boxster directly, where the Z3 had always trailed in the Porsche's wake. Thanks to a spread of engines and dose of practicality, the Z4 also managed to challenge the Mercedes SLK and Audi TT to be a very competent all-round roadster.

Produced in BMW's Spartanburg factory in South Carolina it was obvious the main market for the Z4 was in the USA. That hasn't stopped it being a success in the UK, which has been a strong market for the BMW convertible. This superb example is a practical 2.0 Litre model that has covered just 32,127 miles and has been cherished by 1 owner from new.

Finished in the attractive colour combination of Metallic Silver Grey with dramatic special order blue seats, the car is presented in very good order. The paintwork retains an excellent shine and the panel fit is straight and true. The hood operates without fault and is in lovely condition. The driving experience is pure BMW, with a 6-speed manual gearbox and exceptional road-holding, this little roadster offers great fun for a most reasonable outlay. Offered without reserve, this could be the summer bargain of the sale.
