Z4 3.0SI Recent suspension overhaul, Bilstein B4 with Eibach springs all round. Sway bar bushes, end links, RTAB, alignment all completed at same time. Looking to move to a 4 door fun car, consider deals and cash your way for a 4 door M car, or AMG etc. 131,000 kms approx $16,000.00 ono

Seeing this post makes me realise how much I miss mine, best family car I have ever owned by a long shot, even the wife, who hates big SUV's loved the thing, they hide there size so well. She went from not wanting to drive it when we first got it, to having to pry the keys out of her hands anytime I wanted to drive it. I think the next family car upgrade I will go back to another X5, maybe a B58 engine as the last hurrah for petrol engines.

Numbers off for the 2023 figure? Seem to suggest you are paying nearly $6 a litre with the $53/100km cost?

Just did the RTAB on my E86 Z4 with this tool, worked really well, so another vote for this.

As above, looking for a set of style 108 wheels for a BMW Z4. Cheers Paul

Looking for a set of springs for my 2007 E86 Z4 Coupe. Rear right has snapped as they seem to do, so looking for a stop gap measure until I can get my hands on a complete upgrade.

Bumping an old thread, did you have any luck with this? If so, are you wanting to sell it on again? If not, as per title, anyone have one of these available?

Bugger, only just saw your reply after I ordered some new ones.

Looking for a pair of black kidney grills to suit my E86 Z4 after one decided to go missing. Cheers Paul

Wow, that's a healthy premium over the auto model!

Yes, should have said more specifically the hardtop/coupe version, manual convertibles seem to pop up semi regulary.

Anyone know how many of these are floating round the country? Currently have a 3.0si with the auto which is pretty good and I absolutely love the cars looks, noise, driving and so on, however cant help but feel the car would be an absolute keeper with a manual transmission attached instead. In the past few years of watching trademe I don't feel like I have seen any pop up for sale, and scouring through the japanese auction sites it seems next to impossible to find one with a manual trans other than a full Z4M version (budget not quite there presently). Perhaps they were never offered in manual in the Japanese market? UK on the other hand appears like most were delivered with the manual box. Then the million $$ question, has there been any successful manual swaps? Imagine the cost would not be worth it unless you could do it all yourself?

Was watching that one with interest as thinking about an F80, that's possibly an inflated price as well, the underbidder (jmags) had posted asking for there bids to be removed earlier that evening, but seller seemingly didnt and they must have had autobid on to 47k.
