Ahh yes I remember now!
After an 8 yr break from the S54 I’m collecting this on Saturday 😎
Well done, that’s a stand-out example! 👍🏻

I don’t , but prices are looking like they’re going only one way; unless its service history is a bit ropey. :?

If you factor in the Aeros for 800+, the alloys (didn’t read to see if they’re genuine or reps) , and it’s a very cheap low miler in obviously the best colour combo :roll:
-Z4 M Coupe, Silver Grey, Imola Red Nappa, carbon leather, CSLs, SuperSprint Race, Track Mode Enabled
-Tesla M3 LR

Previous - 3.0 si sport roadster, Silver Grey with Oregon Pearl Grey leather, Piano black, EIbach Pro, Stubby

Looks like only one service in the last 4 years, has only had one inspection 1 service and 4 years between the last 2. Its probably 4 years overdue an inspection 2. If it was me i'd be getting them to put it through an Inspection 2 before buying.
I know its only a 2k difference, but it really bugs me when ads say its '46,000' miles but actually its 48,000 miles!!
Why do people have these cars, but it seems the majority of owners can't service them properly.
Imola red E86 Z4M. Genuine CSL's, eventuri intake, supersprint race exhaust, zhp.
E86 3.0si Phoenix Yellow. 19" Veeman VFS23's - Sold
996 turbo x50 - Sold
Noble GTO3R - Sold

Like above the missing services wouldn't put me off as long as they put it through an insp 2 before purchase.
The extra 2000 miles on the clock would annoy me more if it's done 48k why not just say instead of the 46 advertised.

I guess neither could turn out to be a serious issue in its own right, it just increases the likelihood that the owner(s) and/or dealers could have been negligent in other, more hidden ways.

Worth a squirt though, as they say. I reckon there’s only one other SG/Imola out there that hasn’t been under forum ownership at some point. :)

Just stumbled across this on Collecting Cars

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/200 ... -roadster/

Sorry if already posted but thought of interest to see how the z4m goes in an auction setting. :D

5 or 6 yeah for the buyer to pay, not seller, so it'll be interesting to see what happens in the auction.

As a follower of Bringatrailer, i'm glad there's something like this in the UK, especially to get some unusual cars on there. Don't agree in the collecting aspect, cars are to be driven IMO but it's still a good concept.
