I know :lol:
No it doesn’t that’s what I meant about being light on options.
It says the site is free so might be worth giving it a go first. I think your £44k is about right and pitch the advert slightly higher to give yourself a bit of wriggle room to come down towards the £44k
I would also still be trying the dealer, even might be worth mentioning that you’d let them have the car now and that might be an incentive to get them to pay a bit higher while the sun is out
Where you win is the car is still under manufacturer’s warranty for the new buyer
Problem is, the offers for a new car I was getting aren’t coming in the same. The discount on a new car aren’t there anymore.
I’ll get in touch with the dealer tomorrow and see what he says. See if he will match previous offer.
Still think I am mad to change the car. Basically changing for a year and a half younger.

The 2nd hand value on cars at the minute is crazy. However that gives me the unique opportunity to sell my car and make a healthy sum so I listed mine on Autotrader. It was never my intention to sell my M40i so soon and frankly if it doesn't sell I won't be disappointed. If it does sell I'll just sit on the capital and watch the market... I would quite fancy a 2020 M340i estate.

I’m laughing at you all considering bailing and I’m still waiting for mine. There will be that many forum cars hitting the market it’ll deal with the lack of supply issues :lol:
Saying that, I agree, get out while the moneys good

I understand. I've never bought or sold cars to make money. I buy because i want a new experience and sell when I no longer feel any joy from it. I'm still very much enjoying the Zed but such is the increase in second hand value I can go and get another experience for now and revisit the Zed down the line.

Absolutely agree with you, at these price increases if you’ve any intention of selling over the next 12 months I’d be bailing now and sitting back and watching the market. If you can make a profit bang on
I was talking to someone at length about this the other night and the discussion basically went, it’d mad not to sell their car just now with the 2nd hand value as it’ll probably never be as high again as it is now.
If you’ve got something you can get into for reasonable money, or can sit back and watch the market absolutely the way to go.
We definitely don’t buy these types of cars to make money but if they happen to do that all the better.
The exact same position [ref]Wyldie85[/ref], is finding himself in just now too

From my experience there are very limited build slots for new ones, well M40i’s anyway. Add in an extended period of no production due to Covid, throw in to that the current shortages of micro chips and the prospective purchase pool narrows.
I was told yesterday BMW also now specifying on some new builds that certain features that are standard will not be included for some small features as the chips are just not available so order without or wait indefinitely seems to be the option.
I hadn’t heard the rumour they were ceasing production early.
So I have taken the plunge. I’ve ordered a new m40i.
I’ve listed my car on Autotrader and I’m shocked at the number of enquiries people are making including and offer from BMW for 41.5k!
Few points for people.
I ordered the new car and the following items have been deleted until further notice due to chip shortage.
Wireless charging.
Key card access and hence also mobile phone digital key access.
If anyone knows someone who wants an m40i, I have one for sale.

Interesting reading.
Second hand values a rather market are strong,as mentioned, so why not cash in,for those thinking of selling soon anyway.
Especially if you can make a few grand after whats left to pay on the car,makes sense.
I don't reckon production will end early,due to contracts with magna styr,but who knows.
More so,it nasbeen muted since before launch even,that this could be the last ever z4 bmw make....although the same was rumoured about the enabling the last z4/bmw sports carin this segment.
Guess we just have to wait a see if that's true re the g29,or just good marketing lol

Not a personal favourite 
The 20i’s don’t seem to be in huge demand but I think they’ll be like E89 18i/20i’s soon. Once they’re out of warranty a remap up to 280ish I think running everything else stock apart from the remap

Genuine question. Here’s a comparable brand new, unregistered one at £41k/€47.6k across the border from you. What penalties would you have to pay to take it south?

You’d have to pay the ( illegal) VRT (vehicle registration tax) which is a % of what the revenue say it’s worth in the south
Perhaps 20% .. depends on emissions how much, maybe €13k plus VAT of 22% which I’m not sure is on the purchase price or the value that the revenue put on it .. so probably more than - €20k
