Z4MC Ruby Black £14500

Post by Gaijiniji » Mon Jul 15, 2019 1:45 pm

After four years under my care I have put my much loved Z4m on the market. I've not long bought a house a bit further from work and need a four door, four wheel drive of some sort. After some careful man maths (I made a post about this) I cant quite justify keeping this and something else.

After a considerable amount of research I think this price is realistic (after reducing it from 17200 to 14500). Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

2007. Ruby Black. Bicolour red / black seats. Extended leather. 86000 miles.

More than happy to answer any questions.

The car is based about 15 minutes from Edinburgh Airport.

Might just be me, but I think that's quite cheap?

Good luck with the sale :)

It may pay to mention it’s a coupe, as I was thinking it was a lot of money until I looked at the add, now I understand the price.

Ahh if only that were the case. The only comparable is one sitting with a similar colour and mileage for similar money. Mine is an individual colour adding a premium. Its also the only one for sale in Scotland (usually adds a £1k premium). The similar example has sat there a long time... while in no rush to sell (after 4 years it still makes me smile) I also don't want to sit on it for a year (we will likely need another seat by then) so all balanced out I think I have priced it to sell "sometime in the next 3 months". Feels like I am putting a loved pet up for adoption though...

Hi Llyamah. The inspection was indeed performed at the recent inspection 1 (this should be performed every 'inspection'). They didn't supply a valve clearance report - its done by M3 Motor Co in Bathgate. They are an indie with probably the best reputation in Scotland for looking after //M's. Feel free to give me a shout if you have any further questions here, via email or text.

Price reduced to 15k.

At this point the difference between this sale price and the next car is widening enough to justify keeping it and getting another car. This makes me oddly quite happy!

Damn, I've been keeping my eye out for the right coupe for ages - looking more at the 3.0 because I don't think I can afford to run the M (and the initial price difference is usually too big)! But I'm in Edinburgh and this looks like real value for money!! Though still don't think I could afford the maintenance of an M car just yet! Best of luck with the sale - surprised it's not been snapped up already!

It's not cheap! Its remarkably good value!

Let's see how she faires at this price. I went out a walk today and walking by it she still strikes a chord in me that made me question its sale.

Kic_mic more than happy to take you out for a blast in it and discuss running costs. Even if you aren't going to buy - I've got so much from this forum in the last few years and I'm happy to give at least something back. I used to run an e46 325 with the m54 engine. You might be surprised how little the premium for running the m coupe over the m54 is. Genuine offer!

I would absolutely love that mate, really kind of you - would be good to have a decent idea of the running costs etc and get an idea of the difference between them!

Will drop you a PM.
