Auctioneer’s Notes:

A smart and highly appealing example of BMW’s much-loved Z4 3.0 SE Roadster, finished as a desirable low-mileage, two-owner car with BMW’s ever-popular 3.0-litre straight-six engine. Registered in 2004 and showing 56,280 miles, the mileage is recorded as correct and warranted, with MOT history present to support the indicated mileage. The car is accompanied by its original books and wallet, BMW specification sheet, two keys, and further paperwork. The electric hood is reported to operate correctly, going up and down as it should.

Maintenance & Condition:

The original service book is present and records 6 service stamps, with the most recent service carried out by The Forge Garage on 12/06/2025 at 56,209 miles. Invoices within the file refer to work carried out by Keystone BMW specialists.

The car was stored in a garage during and after the COVID period in 2020 and was not used during that time. The MOT is valid until 21/05/2027.

History:

This Z4 has had just 2 owners from new. The current/last owner purchased the car from Keystone BMW Specialist in Ringwood in April 2008, when the car was less than 3 years old. At the time of purchase, the invoice recorded 28,217 miles. The history file includes the original BMW bookpack, service book, MOT history printout, BMW specification sheet showing the vehicle’s options, and invoices from Keystone Servicing. 

The Model:

The 2004 BMW Z4 3.0i SE is a highly engaging rear-wheel-drive roadster powered by BMW’s renowned M54 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine. Producing approximately 228 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, it offers strong performance, with 0–62 mph achievable in around 5.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. The Z4 combined classic sports car proportions, including a long bonnet and low driving position, with modern BMW engineering and everyday usability. SE trim added a more refined specification, with equipment typically including climate control, leather upholstery, alloy wheels, front fog lights, heated mirrors and a quality audio system.

Sale Insight:

Low-mileage, well-documented Z4s are increasingly sought after, particularly in 3.0-litre straight-six form. This example stands out for its low ownership, warranted mileage, original bookpack, recent recommissioning service and MOT to May 2027. With two keys, supporting history and a working electric hood, it represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a usable modern-classic BMW roadster with one of the marque’s finest naturally aspirated engines.
