I previously viewed this car when advertised on Autotrader. Last service was a kwikfit oil change. No inspection2 needed new discs and pads front and rear. Drivers bolster collapsed and marks on every panel. History was all local indi bar the running in

So needs a couple of k throwing at it then? Brings it back in line with the rest of the market then really.

But even with the money spent on it, it'll never return a market average because of the previous history. In my view it's a great car for someone who doesn't really care for resale value and just wants a fun roadster to blast about in for a summer.
It would make a great car to buy for Turo...

I'm not that familiar with Z4M markets but is a single oil change at Kwik Fit damning for life? Assuming the correct oil and filter was used is there such a big stigma and would that not be offset by specialist's Insp.2?
I genuinely don't know. I use mechanics I know and trust. They're not a franchise or marque specialist but they're good. Do you think that harms the car's perceived value in the a) short term and b) long term.
Your last point rings true. A great cheap entry for someone. Wouldn't be surprised if a trader buys that, stores it and sits on it for 5 years before doing anything needed to put it back on the market as a "classic" at, if Z3M prices are to be believed, >3 times the price.

If anyone takes their M to Kwik crap for an oil change suggests to me their either haven’t a clue what’s under the bonnet or don’t care. Either way, it’s a car I personally wouldn’t go near.
Why not just spend the dosh you’d need to bring it back to decent shape on a good one in the first place and save the bother?
