Buying a Z4M E85 or E86

Post by Judderj » Tue Apr 17, 2018 9:50 pm

Don't mind one that needs work but this was tatty unloved. It just felt tired. The blue roadster that is for sale with 2 owners is very tatty for a example. Looked at that one on sunday. The history is all none dealer and kwik fit. Never had an inspection2 all tyres are a mis match, scratched and marked on every panel and heavily on the rear quarter. Rear brake light broken and siliconed in. Drivers seat bolster failed and panel broken off, discs very heavily lipped these were some of the problems and he described it as excellent condition at £15000. Since the email i sent him he has changed the advert to good example and reduced it £1000.

No it is the one now @ £13995 2 owners from new. Traveled 1h30m to view and didn't even test drive as was bitterly disappointed. Wanted to buy it but bid him accordingly due to the need for prep.
