Interestingly, WBAC offer just £6k for this car.
How much credence should be given to WBAC? How much should be added to give real world value?

Hi B21 when you refer to the ZF auto update how do I go about getting that done and what difference will it make?B21 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:54 amThe auto is a zf6 it’s a good box, a s/w update improves it further…t90ark wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:46 am Do we have any thoughts on this one?

I'm still not fully convinced about the auto, mind.

Car looks stock which is no bad thing..pity no internal shots to determine some options like audio, cruise etc
Pluses are wind diffuser and heated seats…low mileage…should run forever..
326Ms have been commented on..
Wonder why the rear Z4 badge has been relocated?
MOT history shows typical lack of oversight on maintenance….

WBAC valuations go increasingly diverge from real world values as the cars age…my 35is had a WBAC valuation of 11.5k…originally listed by its owner at 24k…I paid 18.5k from a dealer..
Condition and options are not really figured by WBAC…also a seasonal issue…

xHP a smart phone based app can re-program the ZF6HP box to give it the same characteristics as the later ZF8HP..ie faster shifts and more intelligent mangement…Nick2449 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 7:45 amHi B21 when you refer to the ZF auto update how do I go about getting that done and what difference will it make?B21 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:54 amThe auto is a zf6 it’s a good box, a s/w update improves it further…t90ark wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:46 am Do we have any thoughts on this one?

The ZF8HP is widely regarded as one of the best gearboxes made whether it’s msnausl, DCT or auto

Thanks for the reply, I've just got my 2012 with the N20 engine and am considering a remap and want the transmission to keep up. I'm assuming any self respecting tuner could do this at the same time?

Sadly the N20 ZF8HP box cannot be re-mapped AFAIK
Related to the electrical architecture of the E89 which was a ‘hybrid’ of two generations of electronic systems used by BMW…
The N20 ZF8HP does a pretty good job as stock IMHO..

No worry ask away but maybe on a separate thread

Hi PB, what are the costs involved with the xHP app.. subscription cost? I guess you have to buy an OBD adaptor?

It’s around £190 for the licence pack which also includes all Maps. You’ll also need an approved adaptor too. I have an MHD adaptor which works for mine.
I have XHP on my 330i which is the ZF6 speed it transforms the gearbox and makes it nearly as good as the ZF8 speed well worth buying if your car is capable.
They usually do a Black Friday discount too so keep an eye out on there website

Anybody got any thoughts on this one at face value?
No cruise by the look of it, MOT looks reasonably OK. Cracked wheel not too long ago, trying to find out how that was resolved.
Not far from me so could be worth a look.
