After nearly 2 and a half years of ownership I have decided to sell my beloved Z4M Coupe. The forum has been an invaluable tool for me over the past few years so it’s only right that I offer the sale here (also now on eBay & PistonHeads).
Reason for sale; family commitments have resulted in fewer opportunities for me to drive and to nurture the car. A beautiful beast like this deserves a loving home and a more attentive owner so it would be great to see it go to a forum member.
I will probably end up leasing something quite boring for my occasional commutes and day to day driving. How my priorities have changed!
The car is in very good condition for its age in my opinion.

As I have not been able to verify the company in question, I suspect that they are not BMW specialists. As such I have my doubts as to whether these were actual inspection services which is why I haven’t included them on the full service history list. All other inspection services have been carried out by well known and respected BWM Specialists.
Issues
- Minor scratches and stone chips in the bodywork in a couple of places, paintwork still in very good condition considering age
- Although in good condition overall, the perfectionists among us may wish to refurb the wheels
- Front headlights could use a detail to bring them back to their best

different paint / leather/trim combo to many of the silver grey , hard to criticise anything about the car or advert but if i had to pick one thing 
the leather looks a little shiney & 20 mins to clean & treat would be worthwhile
