They're not Rogue boxes (Rogue boxes are a different shape) - maybe standard boxes with aftermarket tips?

Rogue boxes are rounded, like this...

...not suitcase style like those in the ad...

Side-by-side, makes them seem almost like polished (or Monkey) tips on standard cans...

I sold my Z4M a little while ago, but I'm already having temptations to re-enter the fold, as I need a car for a couple of road trips this year.

Does anyone know anything about this car. My only concern is the 4 year gap in the history: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... 4560#/home

The MOT history from 2010 is rather confusing. It passed with no advisories in April 2010 and then failed in April 2011 (after just 500 miles) with 2 rear tyres below 1.6mm and lipped discs.

Should I be worried, and would this impact the value of the car in the future?

The car is local to me and is very well looked after from what I know. At the advertised price it seems like great value.

When it comes to the MOT history it seems to come down to the tester. My car has received advisories in the past for items that were renewed just 50 miles prior and last year it failed on a cracked spring when in fact the springs were in immaculate condition once removed!

The missing service and sketchy MOT history wouldn't put you off?
I've seen another thread recently where someone said an immaculate service history is everything, so I'm unsure whether to go for it or not?

Looks a cracking car at a great price.
The gap would not bother me too much as it only covered 10k, not ideal I agree, but also not the end of the world. It might not of been used for two of the years.

Don't forget your only getting people's opinions on this forum, and it's only that, their opinions.

Go see the car, if it's what you want find a local bmw specialist to the sale and have the car inspected, if the car has been clocked or has issues they will be able to find out very quickly.

Missing service history from >5 years/XX000 miles ago wouldn't bother me at all. Its strength been proven since then I'd have thought.

I agree.
Plus, it's well priced and if you can get a little more off give it a decent service when you get it 👍

Just come across this - the car in question is mine.

The gap in history is before I owned it. I think it's pretty obvious that the previous owner went by the service indicator. As has already been said, it only done 10k in those 4 years. Not ideal agreed but that was 5 years ago and it's been meticulously looked after and serviced ever since.

I also don't think it's fair to call the MOT history sketchy. I'd put my money on it being sold then and a garage just put an MOT on it before selling. That or a friendly MOT tester.

I'd challenge anyone to find a better Z4M for the money. I believe mine is the cheapest on the market considering the condition, mileage and spec and it comes with a plethora of service history and receipts.

I am genuinely surprised with the lack of interest so far. Hopefully interest levels will pick up as the better weather comes in.

Yes, nice car but paint needs some work as it's very swirled and scratched, and front end needs a full respray as it's really badly stone chipped, I've made the guy an offer and if all goes well I'm putting a deposit down on Friday.
