I have come across a couple Z4 coupe scam sales on eBay this week, this one is still up;
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2901612166

I reported it to the real seller (who has the car listed on autotrader @ £9995) and reported to eBay.
The other one was an M coupe and was taken down the same day.

Seen lots of adds in the classic car section of ebay. Stupid low sales price then an email address for contact - which of course is just a way of collecting address for people who are desperate to open a email about a bargain car and in consequence may well be opening their bank account to scammers :o

If its too good to be true - its too good to be true so be careful :thumbsup:

that's why you never post pics of your car with the number plate showing
Z4 Coupe Si Sport - Ruby Black Metallic, ZHP, Stubby, Black Leather, Black kidney grills, Black badges, can you see a pattern forming? :D

Didn't see the Z4C on ebay but it was on Gumtree too (now gone); I contacted the seller via Autotrader.
