Just out of interest what is the cheapest deal you ve heard of (pref from personal knowledge, rather than 'uncles bestmates dads second wife told me.......') for a roadster and coupe?

What do you mean by cheapest deal? Best discount from a dealer if you want a roadster AND a coupe? If you mean cheapest Z4 then i saw a 2.2i on pistonheads not so long back witk 160,000 miles on the clock which was asking £5,200 IIRC. Cheapest Coupe about £10,000 for a low spec SE, again with mega miles.

I only expect to get about £6000-£6500 when i sell my 04 3.0i, it's mechanically 100% perfect and looks well, but sadly with 115k on the clock thats all the market says it's worth.

Nb. Cheapest 'car' doesn't always mean cheapest 'deal' though, particularly if things start falling off!

Forgive me if i have misunderstood the question. :)

Impossible to answer I would say unless your talking about a brand new car then you can compare deals on a like for like basis.

Thanks gents. Was just looking at lowest 'screen price' of second hand cars. Looking to see how cheaply you can get into a z4 nowadays. Obv lowest price usulally means lowest standard...........
