Just to throw a spanner in the works...
I know you said an M Roadster, but if you want immaculate with similar performance and a car thats been looked after, perhaps consider this Alpina of Markeg's for similar money..

I wasn't meaning the car you were offered i was referring to the one Tcochrane recently paid £9k for .Speed.Deman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 2:09 pm I don't believe it was, but I never got as far as HPI because I wasn't intereted. In any event, this is not what this thread is about!
If you can find the funds & the car fits criteria then a ZMR makes a great ownership experience difficult to match at the pricepoint but be wary of buying specifically on miles / price . The is2 , discs,pads + tyres on these cars can soon rattle £2k from your pockets so what may appear a good buy on the face may actually not be so good
I'm pretty sure that Interlagos one was very well kept by its forum owner so shouldnt have any issues to catch you out & if you drove it away for £12k with the Gruppe then you haven't been fleeced . Its very much sought after piece of kit that you would struggle to buy for £750

Not sure prices have moved much lately but not many shifting, missed out on 2 or 3 that were priced to sell late summer and still watching for the right one at the right price and mileage, pretty sure I'll get a deal done soon! Don't think it will be to long before one of the best condition low mileage 2.5 E85s goes on the market!Havard wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 2:33 pm Wow. Seems like prices have plummeted since I put mine up for sale. It didn't sell but I love driving it so in the garage she sits.
I am not usually put off by higher mileages but these cars need to be serviced properly and looked after, the higher the miles and the more owners, the more likely it will be that someone hasn't done what they should have done.
Mine was Silver with 57K at the time. The old advert is still about somewhere. At the time at £14995 she was the cheapest under 60k miles. Would need to have a look at AT now and see if they have come down in the winter.

Thanks for the replies. The eBay car only got to £10,500 so seeing if there is any interest at a little more.
I thought I'd be getting lots of PMs from members here with cars to sell, but good to see they're holding on to them!

You might have got a few offers with a higher ask. £11K is pretty low.Speed.Deman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:40 am Thanks for the replies. The eBay car only got to £10,500 so seeing if there is any interest at a little more.

Yes, totally appreciate that. I know I am very much looking at the lower end/higher miles section which is in the minority.

The black one on eBay that didn’t sell at £10500, I contacted and he wants 13k for it ! And it needs all the brakes doing...

Yes. That's my understanding too. He's unrealistic I think... But good luck to him. I hope he gets what he wants.
Will probably look at the Gruppe M car again. Need to find the time to view.

So, an update. Offered £12,000 for the blue Gruppe M car but that was rejected and I was told they wouldn't consider anything like that figure. I have left that car alone as a result.
I have come across two more cars that I like the look of and there is a new car on eBay that looks in good condition.
Prices are all over the shop though.
For example, this private sold Sepang Bronze eBay car https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Z4M-Roadst ... 1438.l2649 with 67,000 miles is the same price as this dealer car, with 15,000 miles https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... romSA=true. Both cars are in great nick, but I can't understand how a private seller expects to see that sort of money for his car when the dealer car is lower mileage and comes with the statutory protection you get by law.
Also, this looks a nice car https://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-BMW-Z4M-3 ... 1438.l2649 . It is £1,000 cheaper than the eBay Sepang private seller with 17,000 miles less!
I'm going to investigate the two blue dealer cars. I think I'd be happy with either of them. I wouldn't mind the Sepang car if it was more reasonably priced.

Have you factored in the running costs of an Z4M?
Just with you saying you are on a limited budget a 3.0Si might be the better option.

Good point. I have very much have which is why I am looking at the higher mileage cars, instead of buying a car at £5,000 more and then being unable to maintain it correctly.

There’s another black one for sale on the bay and Autotrader for now £12790 (was £12490), that was around with no photos for a while... I’ve asked some questions and don’t really like the way the guy responds ! Says it’s perfectly clean, yet from the photos I’m sure I can see a few bumps on the rear quarter ! And just for the simple fact that he’s put the price up... !!
