Cpo'd Z4 3.0si, 6spd, M Leath Htd Sport Seats, Bluetooth, Sport Pkg, Premium Pkg on 2040-cars

Selling my 2008 Z4 roadster.  I did a lot of homework on this car before buying it and was planning on keeping it much longer but I am moving from The Woodlands, TX to NYC and will need a car I can drive all year round in that environment.  The SI model has the more powerful 255hp HO motor, is very light, and handles very well.

I chose this car as I have a 94mi round trip commute and wanted a fun, reliable car that got good gas mileage.  This car has delivered: a very reliable vehicle that gets 28+mpg on the highway (this car replaced an Audi S4 that averaged mid-teen mpg).

The Good:

·         Certified Pre-Owned BMW (transferrable) with warranty that expires at the earlier of 100,000mi or 4/8/2014 = piece of mind

·         Car spent the first half of its life in Alabama and is now in Texas.  Has been a southern car its entire life.

·         Difficult to find combination:

o   M heated black leather sport seats

o   Premium Package (power top, power seats, rain sensing wipers, BMW Assist, Bluetooth, Speech recognition, Auto-dimming mirrors, Auto climate control, Xenon lights w/ auto leveling)

o   Sport Package (Sport suspension, two piece alloy wheels, Dynamic Driving Control)

o   6 speed manual transmission

·         Other options:

o   Remote entry

o   Cruise control

o   Power mirrors

o   Leather sport multi-function steering wheel

o   THX sound system w/ Auxiliary input

o   Fog lights

·         High end ceramic window tint

·         The last model year of the naturally aspirated in-line 6 engine in the Z4 that has been a reliable BMW workhorse for years

·         Good gas mileage (great gas mileage when you consider performance of the car).

·         45 yr old, professional, non-smoker, parent that has meticulously maintained the car

·         Oil changed with synthetic every 7,000 miles.  Original battery replaced this spring.

·         Car is generally in great condition, looks and feels very solid all around.

·         Convertible top is only two years old (see below).

Issues:

·         In March of this year, a newly minted driver (just got his license) backed into the left rear of the car in downtown Houston.

o   No structural damage underneath, only scratched and dented the rear quarter.

o   Damaged part was replaced by a new BMW brand OEM panel.  No filler or fixing was done on the quarter…just bolted a new one on and painted to match.  Work was performed at the best shop in the area & I have all receipts.

·         Typical rock chips/wear on the front of the car consistent with the mileage on the car – paintwork on the rest of the car is excellent.

·         Right front wheel has a small stain on the lip of the wheel.  No curb rash on any of the wheels.

·         Convertible top was replaced under warranty soon after I bought the car.  The top was wearing in one spot when retracted.  Was not a significant issue (other than an aesthetic rub mark) but it was under warranty and the dealer offered to install a brand new top so I took them up on it.  Top has performed flawlessly since then.

·         Cup holder also replaced under warranty shortly after I bought the car.  Warranty work was largely me being very particular about the car.
