M market watch

[MrPT]

If you look at the rim and the way the light falls on the wheel vs the car body, it could just be a careless bit of photoshopping.

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2007-bmw-z4-m-coupe will be interesting to see what this makes. Is it a forum car?

[Mr Tidy]

It's featured on here before, and is up as a classified on ebay for £15,495 so I suspect the reserve will be close to that!

Viewed this car on Friday.
If I was after a ZMC at fair money I'd have placed a deposit but I was looking on behalf of a forum member.
Needs about £1k/£1200 spending but otherwise a very decent prospect.

Out of interest mr wilks what do you think needs to be done on it? He seems very keen to get rid.

I mean, I was looking at photoshopping as a possibility, but the tyre is as you’d expect (flat at the bottom), and everything else looks to be in the right place... a worrying image, being mechanically savvy I’m not sure how you could even end up installing it like that!! Having said this, I did once see an old colleague fit a set of brake pads back to front... he was forever after known as DAP

Ins2 due
wheel refurb , one was ok but 3 blistered around bolt holes & tyre valve
smart repairs to remove scratches on passenger rear + front bumper

Front bumper has been painted at some point (drivers fang corner needs attention ) & the fit line against bonnet needed improving but otherwise relatively chip free across the front & in general the paint in good order .
Interior also looked very well kept , seats & bolsters not showing the usual wear signs of 80k .

Low spec with few options but piano black doesn't look at all out of place & gloss wingmirror housings a rare nice touch .

Pretty recent discs+pads in the buyers favour & 4 Michelin PSS were minimum 5mm-6mm .

I suspect the auction if left to run will end £13750/£14500 which i believe is in the range the guy would take to sell prior .

I would have liked to hear it start + tickover but unfortunately it was lunchtime when i called & nobody was there .

[mr wilks]

No surprise with the auction ending at £14100 https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2007-bmw-z4-m-coupe buyer has a decent prospect on his hands once they've spent a bit on it .

Very glad to hear you say that!

Probably ought to head to the member forum to introduce myself but assuming everything goes smoothly I hope to be behind the steering wheel within a week and become a proud Z4M owner. Might even be the first car I enjoy washing... but I'm not promising anything.

Hello by the way

[Mr Tidy]

So with the 6% premium that's pretty much £15K for the new owner, which doesn't seem silly once it's had the things you identified done.

Hopefully the buyer will join us on here!

I've seen a couple added on Auto Trader in the last few days for silly prices, like this one:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... esc&page=1

Prices certainly don't seem to be dropping!

Hi there - you must have joined up while I was typing!

Welcome to the madhouse.

I only bought my M in December, but love it so I hope all goes well.

An introduction on the Newbies section of the forum always goes down well, but really needs to include photos!

Was interesting to also see a well-optioned 997.1 with just under 100k on the clock go for £15k tonight. Seems like a bargain compared to the ///M, but then you wonder what an equivalent manual would have gone for.

I think the engine rebuild may have put people off going higher on that one, judging by his comments it appeared he didn't have a receipt for the work either which seemed a little strange.

Good buy sir! I had made an offer of exactly the winning bid a little while ago for that car, think you've got a great car for the price and in comparison to the rest of the cars on the market. Hope you enjoy it. The hunt still continues for me!

Dougie how much you looking to spend on Oe
