He's hoping to make a fair margin on that then! Buy it now seems very optimistic.

What's the colour of that leather? It's not champagne and it doesn't look stone or whatever it's called. I think he'll get about what he paid for it, no harm in trying to aim high with the price though I guess.

It looks like champagne that's been soaked.

These newer painted leathers don't respond well to leather treatments as you're just putting oil/wax onto the paint/lacquer and are not 'feeding' the underlying leather at all. The oil/wax also sucks up dirt more than the paint/lacquer. I just use some mild interior shampoo with a damp cloth.

I've seen 'Light Sepang' interior, but never 'Sepang Bronze'.

I tell a lie, because I have seen Sepang Bronze leather, just not in a Z4M (it was in an M6), and it is mid-brown not light brown.

Sepang Bronze H = Sepang Bronze Hell = Sepang Bronze Light (hell is light in german) = Light Sepang (Bronze).

It was also prepared as a press vehicle. Some say these will have been ragged to death on one hand, but hand-picked to be the best of the batch to give the best impression to the journo's.

However, if it was registered early enough, then it will qualify for the much cheaper rate of VED!

:thumbsdown: No, considered it last time, but as it is 'poverty spec' decided against it, but at £8,700 [with the private plate] it was, in my view, not a bad buy. Would be interested to know why it is being sold after only six months or so.
