That is part of the fun but it probably isn’t worth investing that amount of time and effort into a high mileage Z4MC (unless bought from new).Angelus666 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:57 pm It might be my weird view on things, but a car like this, spending time effort and money changing, upgrading and investing in sorting the car is part of the fun....no?! As long as the engine and gearbox is fine, then spending money on the other parts is a big part of the ownership experience. Buy a new car if you don’t want to do that.
If I wanted one to tinker I would get a sub 40,000 miler, put no more than 5,000 miles on it per annum and only opt for OEM+ mods.
If I wanted one to drive then higher mileage would make more sense as it will be cheaper and I would follow the ethos of buying on condition not mileage. However I certainly would not be investing into it. I’d keep it for a year or so and then sell on, ensuring that I didn’t lose a penny come resale.
Replacing bushes all over the car, dampers and springs etc just wouldn’t be worth it. Especially when the cost of a full suspension and brake overhaul, plus any other bits which you might not expect to need replacing +£15,000 buys you a nice appreciating modern classic.
