I also went to see the Z4M on eBay in Guiseley, Leeds the other day. Finished in ruby black, it looked promising...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-Z4-Z4-M-C ... 1438.l2649

Get there, and i'm greeted by a nice chap who hands me the keys.

Interior is clean and tidy, bolster wear been repaired at some point but thats no deal breaker for me as i can fix the not so great job thats been done. Body work has been 'mopped' extremely badly and needs a full paint correction, again i can do that with being an ex detailer for 15 years. Bad point was the painted drivers wing and rear quarter which has been done badly. I actually think the entire front has been painted only.

In short, not 25.5k's worth. Shame as when ruby is polished it looks exceptional.

Makes the current crop of 30-50k Mroadies on forum around £15k look complete bargains .
If you find a silver grey with red leather with that spec and under 55k for less than 22k please send them along lol

I haven't seen a coupe especially a late 08 plate for under 22k with that spec in... well a long long time.

There are a few around but they have odd combos, absolute flimper spec or have been for sale for a long time which says volumes.

Even the private sales on here have been north of 25 and then removed because they decided to keep.

The roadsters are good value but just prefer the coupes. Looking for something to keep for a while not swap in 6 months. If I can't find what I'm after I might buy one for the short term but winters coming doesn't seem much point to buy one and leave it on the garage.

There aren't any 30-50k roadies for 15k on the forum.

Blinkin eck, I didn't realise the market is heading south! Most articles seem to point towards values increasing, a theme that Z4M's, particularly coupes, are looking good for heading north. Roadsters are cheaper because they are perceived as less desirable, rightly or wrongly. As my wife said to me, you have a man's car, the convertible, er, isn't....... :fuelfire: :D

If the car was a good example I don't think £22k would if been out of the park. Just my opinion if course.

This was under 40k for under £15k & sat still for 6-8 weeks viewtopic.php?f=41&t=99769

This one does actually look like a minter as opposed to the grey MC you were considering viewtopic.php?f=41&t=99614

Think what you like , right now across the board all Zs are struggling to tread water so why folks think the ZMC is any different i have no idea .
If you can afford the spend go for it , personally i wouldn't enjoy the experience if i thought it was flaming my hard earned on a weekly basis :wink:
To my mind a 60k-80k car £16k-£18k can be just as well kept , just as well maintained & drive just as well as one with 50k or less that a so called "specialist" as simply bought in & thrown £3k , £4k or more on the top :(

I didn't realise that Plowy's had sold. I was shocked that ours didn't gain any interest. At 57K miles it was the cheapest roady in the country for a similar mileage at £14,995. Truth be told, I would always go for 20k miles less for another grand or so.

Either way she is not going anywhere now. I said I would put her back in March but that is when we plan to use her most so I doubt we will see at all now.

Just here and AT but if people aren't looking on AT then they need their head looking at. 1300 views of the advert so far.

I always do AT and Ebay....

I know its full of Idiots but the exposure is really good.

I had nearly 300 watchers on my Z4M coupe when i tried to sell it,but it still took 3 months of advertising to get it sold..

It started around the £22k mark.

I quite like the wheels. They don't go with red though. It does look care worn, needs some TLC. :wink:

22k LoL That's what I payed in March 2011 with 12k on the clock for my 2008 MR. In all honestly I thought mine would be worth about 6-7k by this age,when I bought it. Another reason to love her. :wub:
