What would you pay?

Post by **srhutch** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:01 am

Springs can go at any time. My last zed one went within the first 20,000 and under 3 years.

BMW can provide service info for work they have carried out. You will probably have to ring their premium rate number to find out and where and what dates the car went in to the service Dept’s. Then ring those dealers and ask for further info. That’s unless the process has changed.

Ins2 at a decent Indy is only £750/£800 / id rather that in the book than a main dealer one tbh
A car serviced at BMW isnt a guarantee of a good car , it simply means it cost the owner more to maintain it imo
Ultimately you need to pay what you are happy with & not what forum members think they would pay
I used to disagree because you would never get goodwill but at this age I don't think you would get any of that anymore anyway.

My car was 3 months outside of warranty & I was refused goodwill for a cracked rear wheel (full bmw service history on a car just over 3 years old) on a car that’s ten years old I think you could forget it

Bmw will be able to tell you when it visited and which dealer and the mileage but not what the visit was for . you will then have to contact each dealer to find out what exactly they did to it

If you are on good terms with a BMW dealer they can run it through the after sales/warranty records and see what has been done to it under warranty

Are you saying it has no service history at all apart from one recent service ?

Did it have the running in service ?

To me no history and 6 owners would have a negative impact on what I'd pay for it .. you would have to treat it as an unknown mileage/history car and price accordingly bearing in mind that you would have a potential issue selling it on

Strange? Just because of the price?

Service history I imagine?

I went to see the car today and it felt and looked amazing.

Wow... I forgot how wonderful these engines are -tractability, sound and power. It feels so alive compared to most modern turbo charged engines.

I wondered if someone would be able to help provide any details around what work has been carried out when it was serviced at the dealers. The vin ends in LD39779 and reg. FD57 DSE

Cheers

How much is it advertised for? I don’t think 6 owners over ten years is particularly high.

Is it for sale privately or through a dealer? They definitely seem to fetch a premium at a dealer. Privately advertised cars just don’t seem to be moving. I don’t know if that’s specific to Z4Ms, or common for all sports cars.

It's a private sale. This is the car sold by this garage last year..

It was sold to a guy that has a few nice cars and he sold it 6 months after he bought it to the current owner

You’ll have to find out which( dealers it went to and give them a call. Not a car I recall seeing on here.

Check mots to confirm mileage or vehicle smart app. Mileage is fine, just checked all previous mots
