It’s not that bad...! Take the green branding off and the satin black is actually not too bad and there can’t be too many one owner cars left.

Number plate is fairly cool as well :thumbsup:

Not worth 35k though. We also know from a previous sale that wraps don't help, especially if you're after top money.

The one Mr Wilks shows ate the top of this page is a 1/3rd of the cost. I know which I'd go for.

I cant see the attraction of the matt wraps myself.
On a car like the FJ Cruiser maybe, on an MC with blacked out rear lenses... each to their own. Not my cuppa :thumbsdown:

No probs at all , there are other watch threads specifically for the 3.0 E86 & G29 models so its not like the M boys don't want the 89ers playing with their ball :oops: it just makes them easier to follow within the different sections :thumbsup:

Wonder why MOT expired in august 2018 and was last tested in 2017 so potentially a bit of a gap, I’m not familiar with how the dvla deals with changes in personal plates but it does imply that ref is still linked to a z4 which is blue.
Silver Grey 2007 Z4MR which needs to be driven more :evil: :P :cool: :D :thumbsup:

Looks well in the pics & dependent on miles added you wouldn't expect much more of a fall in its value :?
Worth a look if a cheap MC is what you're after

I would be trying to get this for £10k. Would be an absolute steal. Only if it had Champagne interior.

The beauty of the black interior is the bolsters are so much easier to make decent , once the champagne gets creased & tarnished its much more difficult & crabby looking seats are not fetching on any Z :cry:

That's an awful lot of car for the money if it doesn't need a big service in the next 12 months....!

edited to add some relevant information I had forgotten to add
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there,

I am starting to consider the possibility of parting from my beloved Z4M Coupe :( I am not using it much (it is in storage and about to be SORN'ed) and also the number of nice roads to drive a Z4M here in Ireland is very limited and I have driven them many times already. My back is also been protesting a few times...maybe time for something more comfortable?

The car has been in my ownership for the last two years. Its original registration (before I imported it into Ireland) was SF57TXE so that you can check its history prior it left the UK.

Anyway, the car is in really great condition:
- drives really well (a few of my BMW friends here in Dublin commented on backroads.ie how well this car drives and one mentioned how much better it pulls compared to their E46 M3)
- stored in an underground car park when not in use (away from the rain etc.)
- good (very good) service history (invoices, stamps etc.)
- new VANOS unit, timing re-set, timing chain tensioner and shims done by Mr Vanos himself who came over to Dublin (at my expenses of course) to service the car
- new differential seals (Joe Duffy BMW Dublin)
- new handbrake mechanism (Joe Duffy BMW Dublin)
- fully refurbished alloys
- front, sills and rear bumper re-spray to fix stone chips
- seats are unmarked
- 4 Michelin Pilot Super Sport
- new OEM disks, pads, clips and sensors.
- oil & filter changed in mid-February '19 (JCK BMW in Colerain, NI)
- 48,600 miles (at the moment)

I am putting the feelers out there to see if anyone would be interested. Some of you saw the car "in the metal" in Wales and on the NC500. For those who haven't, this link gives you an idea of what I am talking about.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oj47D ... 7KaRStaAOP

If anyone is interested, send me a PM. Comments, suggestions, advice and of course offers are very much appreciated. Will be happy to come and pick up (airport or ferry terminal here in Dublin) those who wish to view it.

Thanks
Attilio
