    I owned a 2003 330Ci with a similar inline-6. It needed an oil top-off every few months. The service advisor at Beverly Hills BMW told me “It’s a high-performance engine. It’s normal for it to burn a little oil.” I was shocked, then just accepted it as the cost of owning a BMW.

    Thanks for sharing your insights on the car, I'm looking at these in the UK and learned a lot of new things in this video! POV video that was really helpful too. For the age of the car it looks a wonderful example, and in general I think the styling has stood the test of time. And that engine bay was so clean! Hope your day/week got better after recording this too - but a great selling point at the end where you seem to cheer up as you approach the redline!

    I think it’s called Maldives blue. Monaco blue was a very dark blue similar to carbon black almost. The latter Z4’s were available in Montego or Monaco blue but the 03-05’s had Maldives blue as the loud blue color. Pretty sharp with any interior combo in my opinion. Very clean example here!

I still have it, and at 12 years old still runs beautifully. I have babied it, it looks new, low miles.

    yup, It's Maldives Blue and your Zed is in remarkably good shape with nice appointments. The power hydraulic top motors tend to die on these cars..mine has been replaced 2X. expensive fix, labor intensive, entire top hs to be removed, the motors cost about 500 bucks. Other than that, these are great cars for the money.
