100,000 club

[ekimj10]

Welcome, you are maybe looking at the highest miler Z4 in UK, but with proper service history and documentation and of course the asking price, it could be a consideration.
It is really all about what has been done during its life, if you have been following the forum there are plenty of good write ups of what to look for.
I would say if the bodywork and sub-structure is OK and rust free, the hood is in good condition and works, there are no warning lights showing and the interior carpets, upholstery and roof lining are OK, then most the remainder that can go wrong can be replaced.
Would I buy it at that mileage? it would have to be something special and probably my pockets are a little too deep.

Bought mine on 123k and has been faultless. So many people put off my high mileage I ended up with a great looking Z4 at a bargain price!

So my first post:
Looking to buy a Z4 Coupe with 203,000 on the clock....

..., the hood is in good condition and works, ...

Would be interesting as car is a coupe. Unless you were being all 'merican there?

Well spotted Mr Markeg! my mistake sometimes called word blindness. Some got it into my head it was a very early roaster.

Aehhhmmm "break" pads don't throw stones from a glass house

Yup it's a coupe on a 56 plate, 2 owner with big folder of main dealer bills to about 180k then a couple of Indy bills. All paperwork tallies up and I have pictures of damage and repairs from proper body shop.
Just thought that it may be a very good value way into Z4 ownership as I have a 130i LE as well which I assume has the same engine?
All thoughts gratefully received !

You would have to throw up the figure to really get a handle on it , , I would find the next highest ZC available then compare the £
Give or take 5-10% then 100k/125k ZCs fetch around £7500 dependent on usual merits of spec-hist-cond
A +200K Zc could well prove faultfree but I wouldn't want to pay over £5000 for it

I have recently purchased a Z4 coupe 3.0si with 141000 miles on the clock, looked a few others but this one was in the best condition and drove the tightest.

I paid £6k for it with a years mot and a good history, it does need new tyres as i am not happy with the slight mismatch of brands.

i must be one of the highest mileage members then?!
