  • I've owned this car since May of 2007. When I first saw the BMW Z4 upon its launch I instantly fell in love with its mix of unique modern styling & its respect to roadsters of the past, particularly of the 50s & 60s era.
    I've been fortunate to keep this car and maintain it well mechanically & stay on top of any dings & scratches that happened, which were usually not my fault :(
    The car has had only one previous owner and was purchased from a BMW dealer in 2007.
    As I worked pretty close to my previous jobs and now work from home the mileage is fairly low at 75k miles which is good for a car closing in on 20 yers old.
    I think this is a wonderful example of a first generation E85 although maybe not the most sort after powered version! Yet the 2.2I still has the straight six block and makes a lovely growl and overall the driving experience is still pretty great with its solid handling and driving position etc.
    I hope you enjoy my little video. Thanks for watching.
    The music in this video is an unreleased piece by myself.

    Immaculate condition. I’ve got a 2.5i in sterling grey same wheels as yours.

      Thank you. The 2.5i is the sweet spot overall I think. I would have loved the 3.0 but the road tax in Ireland is €1500 per year. So I was considering a 2.5 or the 2.2 but buying used there wasn't a lot of choice back in 2007.

      You’re welcome. I live in South Wales and the tax on the 2.5i is £435 so still not cheap. I’ve actually owned a 3.0i and you’d be surprised it doesn’t feel that much faster plus it rides harsh.
