Stylishly presented in silver, this early example of BMW’s Z4 Roadster is powered by the desirable 3.0-litre all-aluminium straight-six petrol engine, here matched to a six-speed automated manual transmission. ‘YW03 CUH’ comes with a black leather interior, as well as factory-fitted equipment such as automatic air conditioning, sports steering wheel electric power steering, M Sports suspension, drive mode select, chrome detailing, double-spoke alloy wheels, and electric seat adjustment. The electric folding canvas roof comes with a glass rear windscreen, and folds flush to the rear bodywork.
The current owner is just the eighth in almost 21 years that ‘YW03 CUH’ has been registered, having had it in their care for approaching three years. Reading an indicated 62,339 miles on the odometer, MOT reports reveal that the Z4 Roadster has covered around 1,000 miles a year since 2015, and is clearly used sparingly on high-days and holidays. The vendor describes ‘YW03 CUH’ as being in fine condition throughout, with the engine, transmission, electrics, interior, bodywork, and paint all considered ‘good’.
BMW launched the Z4 in 2002, offering a choice of E85 Roadster and E86 Coupe, replacing the Z3 sports car, introducing the model to the world at the 2002 Paris Motor Show. Initially offered with a 2.5-litre or 3.0-litre straight-six, transmission choices consisted of a five- or six-speed manual, five-speed automatic transmission, or six-speed automated manual. A key model of the Chris Bangle-led design era, the Z4 was later offered in entry-level guise with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit. BMW’s M-Division also got its hands on both the roadster and coupe, creating the Z4 M, using the same straight-six engine as used in the contemporary M3. Production lasted until late 2008, when it was replaced with the second-generation Z4.
In summary:
- Well specified example of BMW’s Z4 Roadster
- Sought-after 3.0-litre straight-six model
- Offered with 12 months' MOT
