Ruby Black - Z4M Coupe Purchase

Its not had a service for 4 years even though little miles have been done.

I would immediately have an insp 2 service and then you will be good to go and enjoy the car.

Ok thanks for the advice I’ll do that.

These are the service intervals and associated dates - all done by Listers or Sytner:

Running in Service 1034 Oct-06
Oil Service 11115 Nov-08
Inspection 1 22734 Nov-09
Oil Service 34511 Jan-11
Inspection 2 46003 Dec-11
Oil Service 58682 Dec-12
Inspection 1 71649 Dec-13
Oil Service 84239 Dec-14

So its only done 10,000 mile in the last 4 year - should I stick with main dealer for the Inspection 2 that's now due and will the 4 year gap affect by ability to sell on in a few years time?

Decent history behind it from the above , , get a thorough Ins2 done ( with coolant+brake fluid if needed ) from a decent indy which should be no more than £750
Then you should have a fine example going forward , enjoy it & get to some meets

If this car is debadged from the factory, then I know the original owner

I was thinking of buying it about six months ago but the mileage was a little high for me.

Its had 3 previous owners and is currently for sale via a dealer in Swansea - be interested to know where you saw it on sale 6 months ago?

It was on Pistonheads, can’t remember where in the UK

Can anyone recommended an independent garage in or near Sheffield - want to get the car booked in for the inspection 2 service as suggested before I pick it up? Cheers

I'd recommend starting a separate thread to ask that. You're much more likely to get a good response that way.

Lovely car BTW, I'm very jealous
