This appears to have been registered early enough to be on a lower road tax than *most* Z4M's, could pay off in the long run for anyone who wants a Z4M roadster to keep for a long time.

(I know nothing about the car, but thought it might be interesting to someone)

Perhaps a dumb question... but what is wrong with the handbrake position?

Now you’ve done it :rofl: :thumbsup: :poke:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

It is too high, meaning that the mechanism is either wrecked that it requires that high a setting or if not, it is being stretched by a heavy handed user.

On my latest Z, the handbrake was in that position requiring a full rebuild :x

10 clicks is the requirement. That one looks absolutely fine. If you get less than ten clicks then chances are you haven't released the service spring to adjust it and the handbrake is actually dragging slightly.

Its such a shame the ved on these has got to where it has , its not about affordability its the niggling feeling the government is rinsing all it can from you :cry: i don't want to hear the " i sorn mine for 10 months " waffle , i like to drive my weekend cars all year round even though they may sit in garage for 4-6 weeks & not move .
if road tax on ZMs was £250 -£300 pa i wouldn't hesitate in buying another .
I think these 2 examples on the lower rate are the first seen on here for many many years & for that reason alone will get interest .
