M market watch

Post by DPG » Wed Jan 21, 2015 9:11 pm

Rather than a separate thread for each car I thought new ones could be added here.

Helpful to those of us that are looking

Interlagos Z4MR @ Rybrook BMW

Like the way they have prepared it for the photos :lol:

Not keen on the interior though.

Well, I have to say they could have made an effort and cleaned the thing up! The pics look done with a crappy low res camera. I would prefer a lighter interior and that looks like light sepang, but could be champagnem but from the interior pics it looks like the dash is scratched on passenger side, drivers door has marks. Might be just dirt....


I bought my previous Z4 MC from them and were good to deal with

Not a fan of the interior at all.

If it's light sepang leather then my last coupe had the same leather and does look better with a better camera :) ( I think so anyway)

I'm not sure that car is actually dirty - I think it is noise from an overly compressed image.

Think you are right, it's Sepang. Champagne would be the better choice out of the two. For me though it would have to be black with Interlagos.

It's dirt and a car that has no protection, hence the water clinging on to it.

Well, even with the rubbish pictures of a dirty car, that car has been sold already. Only had 1 lady owner from new who apparently hardly used it. They had loads of calls about it and the first person to enquire bought it. The low milage was an obvious attraction to that car.

Yep, goes to show, if you have something that isg now getting rare (ie, low miles, one owner, full BMW SH), even in the middle of winter,the rule book goes out the window. I too am very surprised. THey have stated they will look around for a few customers who have enquired to look for similar cars but I just stated if they get anything else in to let me know, but no doubt they will increase their price next time

Yes,I've always much preferred the non-nav dash. I wonder, if as these cars get older a good profit could be made by buying up some dashboard stock from BMW (non nav) ready to sell to those who in future decide their sat nav is just too buggered or dated to want sitting on the dashboard anymore :)

For sure. Car sold very quick with lots of enquires and sold to the first customer, even with the very poor pics , I think we will see the dealers experimenting with higher prices soon, this car would have definitely sold at the 18k mark. Great news for the z4 owner.
