Dropped in price again today! Now seems to be relisted under this new url: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11637062
Has anyone gone and seen this car in the flesh?
He won’t do any viewings for the reasons mentioned on the page before this one. Steer clear, somethings not adding up.

An M with that mileage & spec (strut brace & aero sills!!) should not be hanging around for this long at that price. It’s had price drops as well. Ask too many questions & he abruptly “isn’t able to help you any further.”

I do hope I’m wrong and someone gets a great car! My suspicion is it has next to no history. There’s one from Morgan cars with only 49k miles and one owner. Sounds great and interlagos blue, great colour. Then you enquire and it missed its run in service and after that it’s patchy at best. Don’t think you can compromise on a performance cars history.

There’s a great example coming up soon from a forum member, that I nearly pulled the trigger on but it was just too far out for me & the only other one that compared in terms of history, was 30 miles from home. Someone’s going to be very happy with that though once it comes up.
The car you mention at Morgan cars is an import from Southern Ireland.
I'm not sure about its history but the clocks are in km and would need to be changed.
They have it quite a while.
Nice looking car though.

Has the silver grey MC from Warwick Hall cars been mentioned on here yet? Seems to be hanging around for a while at what appears to be a decent price

Yea it has. Again another I enquired about. Poor service history (I should say I was very picky, I wanted something with a properly complete service history. So probably best to say IMO) didn’t bother asking much more to be honest.

So how do you know that it has a good service history?

Just had another look and apparently it’s finally sold...

That Warwick hall Z4MC dropped to £17775 today 🤔🤔
Didn't it have some electrical fault or something which made them remove it from autotrader for a bit? Seems on the cheaper side now

Looks like a peach on the Z4 Facebook group

If I wasn’t determined to get a coupe I’d be in there I think.

    Quite a few references to this one through the forum over the years. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=73824
    I really like it. Although number of owners has to be raking up by now?

    Tbh, I don’t keep a particularly close eye on the ///M market.

    I suppose it depends how many times it actually changed hands rather than been up for sale. Even if it has changed hands a few times there’s a train of thought that each new owner will spoil it in the initial honeymoon period so might actually get more work/maintenance/upgrades from each new owner rather than someone having one for a long period and maintaining as needed/required.

    I like them in white and like the spoiler etc. Wheels I’m slightly undecided on but I don’t dislike them :thumbsup:
