71k miles and £10k

71k miles and £10k

£10k with ropey 108s

I was intrigued by the white car in the background, thought possibly a 928. Indeed it is a 928S4 only 5,500miles. One of the very few cars with that “classic coupe” shape which the Z4C is the last of. Anyone remember Risky Business?

That looks great (although the grey interior isn’t my cup of tea), but it’s still a mundane-spec SE. What premium for one owner and this low miles?

Love this bit of the description "240 currently left on the road"

[Mr Tidy]

ove this bit of the description "240 currently left on the road"

Yes, I noticed that as well!

Apart from being an SE in a terrible colour combination, going by the service book it went from 2011 until 2017 without a service.

Yep - and it has only actually had one Inspection in its 14 years, rest are oil changes and brake fluid. Looks like it went 15,000 miles and 8 years on its second oil change!

No reason why the M should have its own market watch as many on the forum follow all the models so feel free to post up any you find whether good,bad,cheap or dear , it all helps to formulate a good knowledge of the Z4 market

This would be my pick of the current offerings ,
2007 SI Sport good colour, 48k & a decent spec for what i would consider a reasonable ask at £10750
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-COUPE- ... 4d33c94997

& cheaper 56 plate SE spec with auto 77k £8950

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-56-BMW-Z ... 35ebcebb1c

Looking at the very first post on this thread from nearly 5 years ago, prices for the same mileage and spec would seem to be around the same today. How’s that for excellent depreciation?

Its followed a rollercoaster trajectory from peak to trough each 9-15months ? right now its at a peak again , maybe one day values will hold or rise without dropping back but i don't expect that just yet .

Hi all,

As I’ve recently purchased a Z4C, I thought it was worth sharing my market research for those interested in current values. Obviously these are asking prices and I can’t comment on how much they actually go for. Data was collected from various sources including Motors, Autotrader, CarGurus, eBay and Pistonheads during a July this year. To be honest I’m surprised how many Coupes there were for sale given their rarity.

In summary, in July there were 55 E86s for sale in July with an average mileage of 84,798 and an average price of £9,149. Today, there are 42 E86s for sale with an average mileage of 83,143 and an average price of £10,204. There seems to be more low-milers creeping on to the market at high prices, and a virtual absence of bargain basement cars.

I hope that’s of interest to someone.

Happy New Year to you all! - Ben

[Benderloch]

Thanks for that, fascinating

Happy New Year.

That's interesting, Ben.

Prices are certainly way higher than they were this time last year when I sold mine!
