Looks like a reflection of a flag or banner
One other slight flag only feedback of 7 on ebay, paint being dodgy on headlight washer not a problem if its a replacement cover, I sprayed the replacement cover on mine looked good for a while!!. If its had a front end prang different story, as Tom said not a massive bargain, if mint about 13-15k so easy to run up 2k on an M

Either that's somebody who doesn't really care what price he gets for it or someone making an epic mistake...as is anyone selling in the next few months. Those minor things that people have picked up on are, in themselves, not reasons to be selling that car at £Thousands under value.
Trust me.... :wink: I can't say right at the moment "why" but this is coming from someone who made those same epic mistakes in the past with E30 M3, E46 M3 CSLs etc in the past but won't repeat those mistakes. All will be revealed in about a month! :wink:
Tip: If you have a Z4M Roadster, I wouldn't sell it at the moment!

They'll not be a manual version of the new Z4...? No M version..? That's the only way these guys will jump up in price.
Has anyone been for a look? Nothing horrendous in the MOT history - just the oddity that the rear springs appear to have been replaced individually a few years apart.
Add £700 for the Insp.2 and a few hundred to sort the minor cosmetics at you're at £12,500 for a 52k mile Z4 MR.......what's not to like?! It's not far off a point at which a dealer will buy it blind because they'll see £3k margin in it.

Small capacity forced induction engines and hybrids with DCT or auto transmissions would be my guess.
Cars like these aren't made any more, and won't be in the future.
But even with the money spent on it, it'll never return a market average because of the previous history. In my view it's a great car for someone who doesn't really care for resale value and just wants a fun roadster to blast about in for a summer.
It would make a great car to buy for Turo...

I'm not that familiar with Z4M markets but is a single oil change at Kwik Fit damning for life? Assuming the correct oil and filter was used is there such a big stigma and would that not be offset by specialist's Insp.2?
I genuinely don't know. I use mechanics I know and trust. They're not a franchise or marque specialist but they're good. Do you think that harms the car's perceived value in the a) short term and b) long term.
Your last point rings true. A great cheap entry for someone. Wouldn't be surprised if a trader buys that, stores it and sits on it for 5 years before doing anything needed to put it back on the market as a "classic" at, if Z3M prices are to be believed, >3 times the price.
