I'm watching the prices keenlyZedebee wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 9:51 am It’s a really strong engine, capable of high mileages if properly looked after. As Tidy says, it’s the bolt on bits that wear out - water pump, starter motor etc., and they can leak oil. With higher mileage cars, it’s the same mantra as any Z4, buy on condition and maintenance.
The price vs mileage relationship is interesting. Very low mileage cars seem to be asking a big premium, but higher mileage cars do not tail off quickly. There’s probably a sweet spot at between 50-80k, where you can pay reasonable money and have the comfort of a lot of miles to come for very little depreciation.
Seems that there is a big jump up to very high premium prices with no real rationale... but some utter garbage for mid range prices too-
I guess its like everything else- do the homework and be prepared for the worst!
