Would you actually buy any of them,even though on the face of it they look cheap?

High Miles,Pov spec,high owners..

They are the sh!t end of the stick....Although if that M2 had done half the miles it would be a nice proposition.

50k is high miles, blimey!
I have had cars with 200k on them.
Check your entitlement. :lol:
So have i... But its high miles for its year and kind of car it is.. Thats why its cheap.. With a years miles up it,it will be even cheaper.

I wouldn't touch any M4 with Dct whatever spec or miles :oops:

The 981 is a looker 8)

56k on the M2 on a 16 plate in desirable colour I'd like to think if in at £23k flirted on within 12months sub 60k that would be depreciation free if not a few ££ in the back pocket
The M2 is a lovely thing..... Just to miley,the front will be battered in chips too.... My OCD would be off the scale with that...

The 981 is a great car,i adore them but the red ones sit around forever for sale,its POV spec and manual too,will probably need quite a bit of work at that miles too.. The price doesnt really suprise me for that.... Mine was better spec,had Porsche warranty,was prettier and had half the miles and one owner in late 2018 for £28k..

M4... I see that as probably best all round buy,although i like it the least..... Although i wouldnt have it with all the engine shyte thats going on with them at the moment..

Were there that many options on the 1M? I thought they were pretty much a set spec as it was well equipped to start with anyway? I guess the biggest thing was if they chose to get it in that launch spec Orange?

I like the 1M due to have small and fun to drive (I've driven 2 of them on test drives with my old man), also I liked the more simple layout, which reminds me of my Z4MR. Also with them being 6 speed manual, it just make them a really engaging car to drive. Also with it using the N54 twin turbo, you can really tweak the power to allow it to pester a M4 with little difficulty.

Love the 1M but it is a hugely overpriced car.

They are rare in the UK and so go for silly money but not as rare on the continent.

Have a feeling that COVID-19 may burst the price bubble on em...

Over in Luton there's a white 2012 1M 70k asking 30k! Looks like a drifter as well.

Tough choice mr wilks - I'd still be very tempted by the cheaper one because of the non-black interior!

Hi Guys, has anyone seen the Z4M Coupe that is currently on Collecting cars? Looks like it’s had some nice mods but the miles are fairly high...any thoughts?

If its the 2008 90k one i wouldn't want to be paying more than £13k right now & without the airbox & gen CSLs £11k :cry: you can see the values of the last 2 similar cars that sold through that site & they were pre CV19 so would most likely not have reached what they did .

Why does the airbox put on so much value and what are the gen csls? Thanks.

Its a custom carbon airbox similar to the ones found on CSL E46 , THE proper job by comparison to a Eventuri or GruppeM rarely seen for sale

Gen CSL wheels being the genuine OEM items originally specced on the E46 CSL as opposed to replica wheels so both items add good value to the cars worth

Yep, CSL wheels look great, but they're not the original spec on the Z4M, I thought that originality had the better value. Changing the car's spec with after market kit may update and enhance the appearance but then it's not original which is key with the 'classic car' label now being adopted by Z4Ms.

Air box £1000..

Standard airbox... £200 ??? If that

Yeah it is lovely example in terms of the spec (even if I don’t like the door cards much), and had some good recent work. The mileage is what makes me question it’s worth, I am looking to bid but wan to work out my ceiling.
