I'm hoping it's a small number of cars, and as with all forums you only hear about people having issues and not about all the cars running fine.
I can't see cams failing due to one track day on oil that's not even over due a change, unless the car had spent allot of time on track in its life. I would guess it's more likely levels running low or incorrect oil used.

Private sale 63k Imola Coupe new to the marketplace at £19750 ( with questionable ACSchnitzer alloys)
Amazes me that a seller would think to describe "cupholders installed under airvents " yet not mention any service history
Anyhow here it is

If I were in the market I'd be looking at this beauty.
Lovely colour combo, looks well cared for and a well written advert.

On a lower budget this one looks clean.
The owner is on Instagram and looks like he takes good care of it.

Be interesting to see if these linked cars shift: prices are much stronger than the tail end of last year even on cars that aren't too well specced.

Indeed significantly stronger asks than late last year or indeed for a good while before that .markos wrote:Be interesting to see if these linked cars shift: prices are much stronger than the tail end of last year even on cars that aren't too well specced.
We do know that many or most of all the current cars for sale have been up in some cases for over 6 months

If you were looking to buy one now what price would you be looking to pay, allowing for the fact that there is currently three on the BMW AUC website at around £17-£18K ?mr wilks wrote:Indeed significantly stronger asks than late last year or indeed for a good while before that .markos wrote:Be interesting to see if these linked cars shift: prices are much stronger than the tail end of last year even on cars that aren't too well specced.

Yes & one of those Sepang cars was purchased directly off a forum member last November for circa £13k before they lumped £5k on overnight same car , nothing other than prepped & warranted for the sale you tell me how much the car is worth ?Tyreman wrote:If you were looking to buy one now what price would you be looking to pay, allowing for the fact that there is currently three on the BMW AUC website at around £17-£18K ?mr wilks wrote:Indeed significantly stronger asks than late last year or indeed for a good while before that .markos wrote:Be interesting to see if these linked cars shift: prices are much stronger than the tail end of last year even on cars that aren't too well specced.

To my knowledge nobody has viewed this car to comment but if i was on the hunt this week it would be on my horizon if they answered all questions satisfactorily over the phone first

Wow they do like to make a profit I suppose they have to pay for the multi million pound showrooms somehow
Having said that I have had a couple of quotes to put a BMW warranty on a privately advertised Z4MR with 60K on the clock and the quotes are crazy at over £3k per annum

Would have said the price was strong, were it not for some of the other examples posted recently!

Of course they are in business & i appreciate that the buy / prep / warranty would cost around £2k so the margin will be smaller than it appears but imo a warranty doesn't make the actual a car worth any more money ? It simply makes it a safer prospect to buy used for those of a nervous dispositionTyreman wrote:Wow they do like to make a profit I suppose they have to pay for the multi million pound showrooms somehow
