Still lovely and its probably 1-5% of cars under 20k. About 5-8k overpriced but someone will buy it.

I was at silverstone classics at the weekend and there was a 50k Z3M coupe with the S50 not S54 and it sold for 55k...

Thats S54 money IMO.

Shame about the lame M Badge on the grille but otherwise a rare colour combo and very low miles
Really like this, first one ive seen with this combo. Although the alu trim isnt that popular it does brighten up the interior. Just like Estorils old Z4M interlagos with two tone seats in the for sale section. Also lovely.

Yeah, looks really good (and switching to piano black would be easy enough). Reminds me of the coupe concept.

Totally agree. There won't be many MC's under 15k miles left, so you've got to think that might be a bargain if bought for just a few trips a year. Not sure about the 2200 first service or the fact it's on the original tyres though :rofl:

Hopefully not, and hopefully not the ones the car came on :P

The only RHD car with this colour combination according to the link in the ‘colour combo’ thread.
I like it...bar the badge on the kidney grill.

It is very nice,in great condition by the looks of the pictures,and as you say, probably realistically worth around 28-30k,maybe 32k,given the mileage,etc. Suits the red interior,just lacking Satnav and DSP,lol

Yeah, certainly different,and the tan interior always looks way better in the flesh than it does in photos,in my opinion.....
Like Gareth's old 3.0si Rdstr,pictures didn't do it justice.
I like Ali dashes,but don't think it goes with the Tan,swap.out for Piano black and it will be spot on :thumbsup:

Would seem that the previous owner was misled into believing it had a run-in service when it in fact hadn't... then the garage selling it now knocked him down £1k, are aware and yet still marketing it high!

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/top ... 78086&i=20

"I have just sold my Z4MC (14k miles ruby black) to a trader for a straight purchase at £28.5k , however on close inspection it transpired that the running in service stamp in the book was erroneous and the car never actually had it's running in service. some scrote in the past had just filled this in but there is no record within BMW UK or supplying dealer network as evidence to say it had that service. (note to self to run better checks if i buy one again!).

As a result of this the trader offered me £27.5k which I accepted.

The car is now for sale for £36k. A significant mark up but maybe not so much if you consider applicable tax on that potential profit and the fact that people need to make a living!

It is however being advertised as having a full service history which is obviously incorrect."

Haha, bet the trader is going to be well pleased with that post in pistonheads and one on here!

I'd still say that it represents a good buy as a 10 year investment piece though.

Maybe a car for someone brave, if it's been well maintained it could be good - https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... er/8936644
