I know the market is pretty flat at the moment and the time of year is also a factor however, I've not had any questions ref my cars. Admittedly have not done a full on add and I've not added the revised prices but I would have expected the odd probing question. I am wondering, with these comments in mind, are M cars actually worth more in parts than has a whole car - what do you guys think?

Your cars are priced very well, it's just the worst time of year to be trying to sell a car.
January is generally very quiet for private sales, people recovering from Christmas and stretching the pennies until payday.
Cost of living crisis is really starting to impact people now as well as the cost of car ownership creeping up in the form of road tax and insurance premiums going crazy this year.
Honestly speaking, 6 months ago I would've snapped your arm off for that beautiful Z4MC but right now I'm debating whether all of the above is worth holding onto my Z4MR which only does about 1000 miles a year.

It really is a difficult time for a lot of people - hopefully when the weather picks up folks may be more inclined to take alook.

It's a very difficult market at the moment, not just for Z4M's.
I think it would be worthwhile doing the full adverts.

The biggest book drop since before Covid with car prices.
I heard rumours today it might put Cinch out of business due to the amount of stock they hold and what the cars are now valued at.

Only seems to be the case when selling, never buying (from the car trade) IME.
So BCA could go out of business? OK.

Hi Simon, lovely looking MC. I’m in the market for a MC - could you PM the details please? I’ve only just joined the forum so couldn’t PM you directly.
Thanks.

I am surprised that the gorgeous red roadster is still there.

When I come to move my Z4M on I'll be considering something like Collecting Cars, Piston Heads or Bonham's if private sale doesn't get much movement.
Those platforms are a great way to move on something more niche like a Z4M that don't get loads of searches on autotrader etc

That’s good advice mate - I’ve had few tomewaster who I’ve since discovered have messed other sellers around in the past. Seems many would rather a car that needs all the big jobs doing ie suspension, vanos, rod bearings and possibly paint (these cars are 16yrs ok) but as long as it has low miles it will be a bargain
Hopefully, mine will go to a true enthusiast who knows a well looked after car when they see one.

Borrow it (the cash, not the car)!
I keep coming back to that lovely roadster, but I have two on the drive already

I think the market will really pick up in the spring.
By the way, I’d buy your Sepang coupe if it was for sale!
