Belonged to ex forum member DP557, remember him putting it up for sale 2 years ago. Really like the colour, spec and work done noting that the CSL alloys are CM reps and not originals. Trying not to get too interested in this car but I would love an M roadster

Looks like a good example. Very keenly priced.
Thought it should be up for more,but the market has started to ease up a bit.

There are others on Autotrader with similar mileage for less money.
I think running costs of these cars, such as road tax £630 p.a is now starting to have a bearing on the market.
It’s still a lot of car for the money.

The running cost are what they are. Not really a factor if you love the driving experience and just want a great weekend car.Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:08 pm There are others on Autotrader with similar mileage for less money.

Agreed Dav, that and fuel prices must be making folk think twice about a toy, the current situation must surely be having an impact on M's, the time to sell for the same purchase price for owners has passed.Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:08 pm There are others on Autotrader with similar mileage for less money.

Road tax and fuel must be factors but that still looks like a decent price compared to others for sale - after all new rod bearings will save the new owner a four figure bill!
As for selling for purchase price it largely depends on when you bought yours!

Coupes because stunning!

I'm not sure how much a factor the RFL is, how many cars are really taxed for 12 months a year? I would think for the majority the cars are SORN'd for some element of the year. Regardless of the cost, the engine and experience in the seat makes up for it for me...buzyg wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:25 pmThe running cost are what they are.

Sorn is certainly an option, though not one I have yet tried. There is always that perfect crisp sunny winters day., I love those. May be only one or two per winter, but worth every penny on the road tax to be out in the MR roof down.mark seeker wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 2:13 amI'm not sure how much a factor the RFL is, how many cars are really taxed for 12 months a year?

Having read the responses to my post quite clearly the endless news about the impending doom of recession and fuel poverty etc is fake news

Perhaps those that have responded to your post are all wealthy Z4m car owners and therefore not affected by the rise in the cost of living.Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 9:32 am Having read the responses to my post quite clearly the endless news about the impending doom of recession and fuel poverty etc is fake news

The savings I've made over the last 4 years of not having a Z4MC on the road (long story, don't ask), and working from home for the last 2, has meant I've saved 25k miles of super unleaded per annum...which equates to something like £6k/annum @ an average of £1.40/litre.
If I start using it again @ an average of say £1.80/litre this would add £1700/annum to my fuel cost, so £630 on VED once it does go back doesn't seem overly expensive to me (equates to 2.5p/mile for VED vs 31p/mile for fuel).
If you're a low mileage driver then you have my sympathies, as the relative cost of VED is much worse for you!
...alternatively, I can just do all my commuting, track days, ring trips and hoons/meets in the 320D

I'm a poor Z4M owner (obviously not a train driver either) but my car is my biggest extravagance and it's staying!Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:19 pm biZ4rreMids wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 3:03 pm
