4pot 2.0i now around £27k , considering they were at £30k 6 months ago i was expecting to see them even lower with the CV19 shutdown

the 40i also seem to be holding firm at £35k but you have to imagine that fastforward 3 months these figures will drop

i did spend the day last month with Number5 & his recently acquired 3.0i & there are many positives to the G29
the ducktail bootlid is cool & interior is particular swish though the front styling on all & terrible design of the exhaust outlets on the 40i both negatives for me 
i much prefer the two single outlets of the non 40i from a aesthetic point 8)

I'm not sure if there's a rear diffuser available yet to make it a quad, or if this is just a photoshop but it looks better than the M40i boxes
Or perhaps this just a standard M40i Diffuser with the boxes removed, and twin tips put on, which if so could make things a lot easier

Remus and Manhart are doing crazy systems too. If not already have a look at “Hi I’m SHMEEEEEEEEE” on YouTube on the Manhart system, It sounds off the scale...! The Remus is a snip @ £3650-00....
I think they just use the standard diffuser too.

Got to be one of the cheapest I’ve seen yet, main dealer, a few upgrades, only 759 miles and under £27k

The new Z4 was already behind the times when it was launched. Very surprised BMW didn't make the Z4 a hybrid. They had the technology in the i8. All they had to do was transfer it to the Z4 and they would have been onto a winner that would be future proofed. 1500cc engine driving the rears with electric engines on the front wheels. 4 wheel drive rocketship
Here’s something that I didn’t think I’d see, BMW selling a non standard car as an AUC. Interesting thing is they’re quoting the colour as black.
I like the external colour but this really proves the point, red and green should never be seen..............

I like the green too, not so sure on the red, but only because I’ve not seen it personally. I seem to recall people saying it was more orange than red so would need to see it properly first before making judgment
I wonder how you would stand if there was an issue with the paint?
I’m presuming that it’s wrapped since the colour shows as black on the site but I remember Raven saying that when they redid his wrap his black car was covered in wee nicks and scratches from cutting the wrap. Wonder what would happen 12 months in if this started rusting below the wrap and the wrap had to come off to investigate? They couldn’t take the bonnet and one wing off for a look and leave the rest green :lol:
The other thing I thought about was what if you/they while removing the wrap lifted the original paint while doing so.

So have m40i gone up in value from when I purchased 6 months ago?
We steel any car are offering me the same as what I paid at a main dealer for it now. 4K more than 4 months ago.
Hope they hold their value and I’ll order a new one in a year.
Yes Ori, they’re following the same pattern as 35iS’s and increasing in value. 6/8 months ago you’d have picked up a pre reg with no miles for under £40k IF you can find similar now you’re looking at £45-£47k and the spec on some of them isn’t great

That’s Raven’s car. It had an awesome wrap like the paint some MG’s and some Mini’s had
