I mean, I was looking at photoshopping as a possibility, but the tyre is as you’d expect (flat at the bottom), and everything else looks to be in the right place... a worrying image, being mechanically savvy I’m not sure how you could even end up installing it like that!! Having said this, I did once see an old colleague fit a set of brake pads back to front... he was forever after known as DAP

Ins2 due
wheel refurb , one was ok but 3 blistered around bolt holes & tyre valve
smart repairs to remove scratches on passenger rear + front bumper
Front bumper has been painted at some point (drivers fang corner needs attention ) & the fit line against bonnet needed improving but otherwise relatively chip free across the front & in general the paint in good order .
Interior also looked very well kept , seats & bolsters not showing the usual wear signs of 80k .
Low spec with few options but piano black doesn't look at all out of place & gloss wingmirror housings a rare nice touch .
Pretty recent discs+pads in the buyers favour & 4 Michelin PSS were minimum 5mm-6mm .
I suspect the auction if left to run will end £13750/£14500 which i believe is in the range the guy would take to sell prior .
I would have liked to hear it start + tickover but unfortunately it was lunchtime when i called & nobody was there .
Very glad to hear you say that!
Probably ought to head to the member forum to introduce myself but assuming everything goes smoothly I hope to be behind the steering wheel within a week and become a proud Z4M owner. Might even be the first car I enjoy washing... but I'm not promising anything.
Hello by the way

So with the 6% premium that's pretty much £15K for the new owner, which doesn't seem silly once it's had the things you identified done.
Hopefully the buyer will join us on here!
I've seen a couple added on Auto Trader in the last few days for silly prices, like this one:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202005249526721?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&radius=1500&postcode=gu470za&transmission=Manual&model=Z4M&make=BMW&advertising-location=at_cars&sort=datedesc&page=1
Prices certainly don't seem to be dropping!

Hi there - you must have joined up while I was typing!
Welcome to the madhouse.
I only bought my M in December, but love it so I hope all goes well.
An introduction on the Newbies section of the forum always goes down well, but really needs to include photos!
Good buy sir! I had made an offer of exactly the winning bid a little while ago for that car, think you've got a great car for the price and in comparison to the rest of the cars on the market. Hope you enjoy it. The hunt still continues for me!

I meant it could have been rebuilt to sort IMS/RMS (the bill suggests maybe even bored and lined/coated too) rather than failure due to normal wear. Shame there’s no detail - unusual for Collecting Cars as they seem to know their audience.
Either way, yeah, not TV the most desirable 911 ever!
An interesting one's popped up on AT: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202005239506322
Aeros, CF front splitter, looks like a custom-made CF rear diffuser (never seen one like it before), Strom wheels, Eventuri intake, fancy leather mats/lining (not sure how i feel about these), seems to have after-market backboxes too, as well as a few other bits.
I love it personally but £20K for a 92K mile M is way too steep in the current market, in my opinion, even with the mods.

Looks a cleanly fettled car, apart from the rear discs and driver’s seat bolster which have seen better days.Iggy said:
Not a fan of the cross stitched leather, nor the Strom wheels either (would prefer genuine CSLs), and the Toyo tyres (just why?!) but agreed it is strong money, could see a trade at £17,000 though.
That looks nice - wheels need either a good clean or refurbing. Agreed that it's way too much money versus recently sold stuff (that i've missed out on!).
This one looks to be priced much more sensibly.
