Just want to ask, looking at buying the above reg car but is the clutch really hard to use or is this a warning sign not to buy the car? Thanks

I've taken a test drive on an ///M and the clutch is only slightly heavier than my 3.0si and I wouldn't be too concerned about this aspect in terms of driver enjoyment. First and second gear on all Zeds seem to be a bit obstructive until the gearbox oil is warmed through and even then they can differ in feel. I'd be looking for the feel of the clutch - it usually should let you know if there is life left or problems ahead. If you have any doubts then try others - there are an increasing number coming up for sale and prices seem to be flattening and even dropping for average mileage examples.

Be interesting to see what others think (lots of ///M owners on the forum )

Thank you for replying with some help and advice - really appreciate it. We're considering purchasing the car so making a decision at the weekend - kind regards

How do you mean hard to use? Heavy, slipping or really high biting point?

There's no such thing at a 2006 M Sport, that's what they call the later non-M cars with 'sport' trim.
Do you mean a Z4M Roadster or Coupe?
If so you may be referring to the clutch delay valve which can cause a bit of a kangarooing affect if you're not used to the car.
Good luck with the purchase.
