Does anyone know this car or have any thoughts on it?

Seems crazy cheap, but the seller won't respond to any messages,

That's because it is a scam - steer well clear.

The cheapest Z4Cs should be at around £6k, and that would get you 120-150k car from a trader. If it's cheaper than than you can be sure that either the ad is a scam as seems likely for that one or a car that has been written off or has major issues.

Make no mistake, if you are looking at a 10 year old Z4 from the 'open market' it is highly likely to need some money spending on it, either for cosmetics (e.g. Paint, wheels) or for refreshing the mechanicals (brakes, suspension etc). I picked up a lowish (72k) miles 08 Z4C over the summer for just over 8k but since then have spent £££ bringing it up to a nice condition so beware!

I would recommend you check out some of the cars for sale on the forum, as you may find that spending a little bit more to buy a cherished car saves you lots of money in the longer term.
