Is it just me or do those exhausts not look right?

I'd guess it's had the corroded flanges replaced and they just haven't been aligned. Easy job if you have a bit of patience.

I went to see the car yesterday as I was dropping off some wheels to a forum member nearby. Seller was pretty abrupt when I started looking at niggles close up and the exhaust was practically on the floor. Appreciate its cheap but I've learnt my lesson buying a 'fixer upper' especially with the scarcity of z4m specific parts be it new or second hand.

Market softening or is that underpriced?
Nice either way if it has good history.

Yes I’m watching this one, looks nice and MOT history isn’t too scary either, although due in April.

But a '6' looks like a 'G', not a 'P'.

Does that mean it was bought from an Aussie?
