This 2008 Coupe has had a couple of runs now on the bay
It reached around 4700 ( reserve not met ) last time before the buyer pulled it and relisted it.
Now relisted with BIN at £ 5600

Looks ok other than the Dodgy rear spoiler and Schnitzer badges which I guess are easily removed.
Sensible miles, FSH and lady owner :) cheap enough I would have thought comparing with others ???
So as there are a few people on here in the ' Wanted " coupe what do the collective think.

I'd say that is a bargain for anyone who doesn't mind black on black, although that spoiler is really living up to it's name! And does make me wonder about the "lady owner" claim. :lol:

I had my 91K Coupe for sale on here recently and the "Buy it Now" price of this one is £1,000 less than I had mine up for. Plus it's got Bi-Xenons and the MFSW which mine didn't have. It has to be worth a look for that money - so long as it isn't on the HPI "hit list" as I don't think Ebay check that.

If something seems to cheap to be true, there’s usually a good reason for it :?

Hey! I've been looking at your Z4 on eBay this evening as it happens. I'm going to be making calls on Saturday with a view to picking one up on Sunday.

With regard to yours there's a couple of things I'd point out with the ad that are slightly off-putting (if I may!):

AC Schnitzer badges - eh?
Spoiler
If spoiler can be removed will it leave holes etc.?
Not a huge amount of detail in the ad
Just over 100k miles may be psychological barrier to some (though not a lot you can do about this)

Having said all that I'm tempted by it. You're not a million miles away either.

It’s not the op’s car that’s for sale, he’s considering buying it!

Well the MOT history suggests The the car hasn’t been properly maintained... 2014 MOT tyres close to legal limit, 2015 fails on tyres (cords exposed)... so it did 8,800 miles on potentially dangerous tires!

Also, who goes for an MOT without even checking if their headlights work first??

Taking the above into account, not sure the car will have been serviced properly for the last 9 years?

Also, not met a woman yet who would want to stick ‘BMW Performance’ stickers on a centre console :rofl:

I don’t live very far from this car.... sooooo tempted to go and see the beast in the metal :fuelfire:
 
That's certainly not any sort of lady I'd like to meet reflected in the side of the car! I'm guessing that when the said lady sold the car on in 2017, it's current owner 'improved' it by coating it in glue and drove it through Halfords... :cry:
 
The obsession with blue lighting and AC Schnitzer badging everywhere, including a sticker in the engine bay, are the things that baffle me most.

No I wasn't considering buying it, just trying to ascertain why it had not been snapped up at that price.
Even with my limited knowledge of these cars I would be put off buying due to the mods, stickers and the poor advertising standard.

You’ve just answered your own question :thumbsup:

Personally i reckon it looks on the face of it anyway like a good amount of car for the money . Mileage isn’t an issue . Cheap to put all the badges back to standard . Take those eyelids off . Don’t actually hate the spoiler but rest of the car needs modifying to suit , which I’d do anyway .

The spoiler ruins that car. Plus its bolted on so there will definitely be some filling and a respray to rectify that.
 
Second run on E bay. last I saw it was at 4200 !!
Obviously somethings putting buyers off
Might see this one turn up again soon sans spoiler / stickers
