Ermmmm…..bit of a loss what to say on these tbh…

No idea what make they are, tyres are Acceiera, whatever they are, run flats. Fronts are new, rears have 5mm + even tread.

Fronts: 235/35/19
Rears : 265/30/19

Wheels are in good nick tbh, just a bit of kerb rash on one front, the tin would polish up ok with some metal polish (if you can be bothered) Might be of use to someone…for what I’m not sure but…😬

£150 on the forum collected from Tansley Derbyshire.
I’ll put them in the bay for £200 in a week or two when no one replies here….😆

Accelera are a very common make of 'budget' tyre TBH.
Them wheels look alright to me. Not on a Z4, maybe, but I'm sure you will get hundreds of the 'reverse baseball cap' brigade knocking your door down for that money on the 'Bay.
If you gave them a wipe over, you could double your asking price IMO

Hi,
Did these come off a red Z4m roadster from Bristol?

So you are the gentleman that bought it.
I actually very nearly bought it myself as it was very cheap but was a little concerned at the lack of service history.
But i have to say from the video he sent me it looked extremely nice.

Service history is impeccable Taz, it had a second inspection 2 a couple of months ago just before I bought it in fact. It’s a minter tbh, unbelievable underneath, I dry ice blasted it this week too.

You are making me jealous now.
Wish i had bought. Like i said there was no service history from about 21000 miles right up until it had its inspection 2 last year.
He even offered it to me for £12,000 at the time

Assuming that’s a respray, John, from the overspray in the picture under the side skirts, or is that normal?

We'll have to agree to disagree on the service history Taz, I have the book.

I was apparently the first to see it after securing a deposit, he quite rightly wouldn't drop below £12995. I didn't bother to haggle, would have been insulting.

No it's factory Zeb, paint is all original. They didn't mask off the underneath at the factory so some overspray got to the underside.

I can only go on the information he supplied me.
I even contacted BMW UK to see if it had been in to the dealer . All they could find except its last visit in 2021 was its running in service and ita service up to 21,000 miles .
When i asked Matt if he had any other history ( BMW specialist dealer history he said no)
If he had i would've bought it.
Has it been painted as in one of the video's he sent me i could see what looked like overspray on some nuts in the engine bay.

Hope you enjoy it as it was an absolute bargain at that price.

There are reciepts for services not done at BMW as it's had 5 previous owners.

The paint on some nuts is factory, all paint is factory, it's not had any paintwork done hence the bumper needs a paint due to stone chips. I've paint depthed it and it's consistent throughout the car, in fact doesn't differ by any more than 5 microns.

I'd rather pretty much give them away on here than have the backward cap wearing shell suit brigade come giving it large at the workshop Pondy, hence the price.

Would really like to see it when you have finished.
Do you know what make the wheels are. I thought they looked quite nice on the vehicle, especially with them being deep dished.

You like them….really…???? 😱. Each to his own I guess….😉

No, no idea on the make, nothing stamped on them so who knows.
