2008 Z4 M Roadster in Midnight Blue Metallic £19,250

Dealer also has to account for a 6 month warranty, preparation, taxes etc so I think its more than a fair price in all honesty.
Was it midnight blue with extended champagne leather? It would seem very unlikely, and so the spec is different.

It's common knowledge that the colour combo of a car can have an effect on its value and the Z4M is a particularly good example of this.

The rare paint colours will almost always be worth more than the common blacks and silvers. Even Interlagos blue examples (despite being a great colour) struggle to fetch what a sepang bronze, alpine white or, in this particular case, midnight blue might because they're far more common.

Same for the interior, a rare and desirable interior car would always go for more than a black interior car (all other things being equal). Extended leather takes this one step further.

Simply put, I wish I could afford this car because the spec is so special and worth the extra. I won't be alone. Would I desire it as much as black with black leather? No. And I own a coupe that's black with black leather :lol: (it was the best I could afford)

When you factor in other things like mileage, the rest of the spec and knowing who has owned the car and how they've looked after it, it all adds up.

Good luck with your search :thumbsup:

Thanks but no thanks to your offer :thumbsup:
Jamie, the colours were different, but the spec and condition were the same otherwise (apart from the extras included on the other car). I am not too sensitive to the colour so wouldn't pay a premium on that front, I care more about the condition of the car.

Not a problem Pastry. Good luck with your sale.

    Well done! One of the best Z4MRs around, I reckon.

      Probably the best Z4M roadster I have seen.

      I will get one. The only colours I want are midnight blue which is unlikely, silver grey or imola red.

      Now I’ve seen the original reg I swear I’ve serviced this at Sunningdale. Looks a great example.
