Nice!!!

where did he install his GPS? nice!!

I don't know where the gps got fixed but I am guess the regular places that can do audio for BMW...

So... It's a good buy?

I cant tell the condition of the car. you have to go test it.

But you are aware that the depreciation is about 15600 a year?

I think his 7 years is based on the fact that There is no residual PARF value since it is an imported car.

Common problem on the e85.. The roof mechinics are not well designed. The plastics containers that are supposed to keep the water out has joins that allows water and vapour to enter so in the long run it will corrode the lifting motor and hydraulics. Once you notice that your roof lifting is not as fast its first signs of the failure happening.

Jerms very "Experienced" in this aspect!!:p

The FL Z4s have the pumps lined to prevent water from going in.

sorry one question, can bring the car to those manual car wash at petrol stations? How to maintain that soft top? Thanks in Advance guys and gals
 
Re: Advice needed - buying an E85 z4 2004

I bring it to those car wash but not petrol kiosk type.. Still they use the strong jets.. But I spray BMW impregnating spray to protect the top.


Car care at its best
