Interesting you say that - I thought the grey diluted the shape a little. Whereas I think silver/grey accentuates the contours on the Z4M, admittedly different shades of grey but big difference between the two IMO.

I'd agree about that colour not suiting the Breadvan. I'd much rather have Imola Red, Estoril Blue or Phoenix Yellow.

I quite like Silver Grey on my Z4MC, but it wouldn't have been my first choice. It just appeared at the right time for the right price!

Somehow I wish I still had my phoenix yellow s54 Z3MC in the garage. Extrapolation forward it would have 12000 mile on it now….

But then I swapped it for my NSX and that I have to say it’s a far superior car.

The same shows that Z3MC prices haven’t softened yet

I wish my MC was silver grey but like Mr Tidy, it came along at a very sensible price.

That looks amazing. This one seems better value though:

If I was desperate to get a low miler this one looks like a better idea:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... rs&fromsra

But personally I'd rather pay about half the money for one I wasn't afraid to use!

Which is what I did, admittedly due to budget constraints at the time.

I thought about this blue one and the ex Jay Kay car. The JK car had no real history and was fine but not pampered so I let it go. At that price it had to be perfect. The blue one I didn’t bother to look at as I diddnt want black interior but by all accounts it was good and with good provenance. In the end I agree with the posters above that such a low miles car prohibits use and as this was supposed to be a fun car for me i went and bought a 30000 mile one for a lot less. Needs a bit of sorting though but at least I won’t be precious about using it

Looks like my old one.

Lovely car but £35k is punching I think.

Makes 15k Z4MRs look like absolute bargains.

Thats the thing after having both, ye the coupe is a better drive but it's not double money better imo. The experience comes from the noise with the roof down and when you consider its more than 50%...

I wouldn't be afraid to use it. It is basically a new car with that low a mileage; plus, it has had all its inspections done, (which is the usual criticism on this forum about a low mileage cars!) What other new sports car can you buy today for £37k that is even half as good as a Z4m Coupe?

If I were in the market, this would be on my list, as would the JK one. I would buy it, drive it, and when and if I decided to sell it, with say 50k on the clock, it still wouldn't have lost as much value as a brand new £37k car.

The only reason to buy it and not drive it is if you believe it will go up massively in value, and I'm not convinced that will happen, certainly not enough to make it a good investment.
