Swap Z4 for a Z4?

phil-simon · 02-17-2011, 09:27 PM

Hi guys

I bought a 2006 Z4 Roadster 3.0si in October of last year (black on black with automatic transmission). It has only 10,400 miles on it and is in tip top shape. I realized I prefer stick shift (pre-facelift 3.0 or 3.0si or M-Roadster). Anyone interested in a swap?

I know a member named Nikki who is interested but she has a coupe.

esqu1re · 02-18-2011, 08:09 AM

It should be noted that she has a M car, a trade with a 3.0si may necessitate some money.

Additional cash component is an option but I want a roadster

10,000 mile 06 3.0si vs a 40,000 mile 07 z4mc might be somewhat of a fair trade with no cash component involved, negating consideration for color, trim and options.

if it was a roadster - maybe

Nikki · 02-18-2011, 12:02 PM

Ahh thanks for suggesting me guys, sorry it's not a match.

I am going to find a person to do a 3 way trade. I'll give them my TiAG M coupe for a roadster si for Nikki and I get her Bronze M coupe. That car cannot leave the ZPost family

Nikki · 02-18-2011, 12:54 PM

LOL well one guy/girl from Napa Valley said they were interested in my thread so we'll see where it goes.

Wait, what'd I miss? You just got your m coupe but you're looking for something new?

Considering a swap for a roadster if I can sell my car for what I want. Initially I was thinking a 3.0 just to save some money since i'm moving and need to allocate more for rent but now I'm thinking m roadster.

Gotcha - and you're considering auto?

jfecarotta · 02-18-2011, 02:29 PM

It has 40,000 miles and is in excellent condition!

My girlfriend refuses to drive my car because it's manual. Still undecided if it's a pro or con, depends if I need a designated driver or not

funny thing is manual on these cars is so easy with the anti-rollback feature or whatever it's called... brake assist? aside from roll back and money shifts, nothing really to "worry" about

Nikki · 02-18-2011, 05:08 PM

hill-hold assist.

Nikki · 02-18-2011, 05:31 PM

haha i put guy than added girl since i didn't want to presume. :P

imom · 02-19-2011, 07:43 PM

I've thinking of unloading my black on black 07 M roadster. I need to decide on what the next car will be. 135i, newer Z4, Mini Cooper S. In 2 months or so, I'll probably put my car up for sale. 26K miles on it.

Same here. I'm contemplating selling my '05 Z4 3.0 with ALL options including premium, sport, NAV, extended leather. 46,000 miles. Black with red leather. M6 wheels. Not sure what route I'm gonna go....I'm thinking Porsche.

imom · 02-20-2011, 08:06 PM

I think Cayman S is a very good choice...but if it's you only car... I like the trunk space of the Z4 versus the Cayman. I don't know about the cabin noise of a Cayman..my biggest concern. Also the nice thing about BMW is the bumper to bumper maintenance protection for the first several years. If you have the coin, A Cayman S with a turbo or supercharger as a secondary car is one hell of a car...then again so is our Ms in that same scenario.
