Low Mileage M

Thats something i'm looking at too :)

Why not look at higher milage cars? Low miles is not necessarily a good indicator and regardless of miles covered the early cars are now 9 years old.Older cars are better bought on overall condition and history.
If someone drove a Z4 M around London for 9 years, constantly in stop-go traffic, doing multiple cold starts a day a day it might still show as low milage but probably would have more wear than a car with over double the miles that has done a lot of fast road driving (motorway, b roads etc) :)

my previous M covered 77 k miles mostly in my hands but led such an easy life - but only I know that :). Next buyer would have thought "77k miles, a bit high" but has been fortunate enough to buy a fantastic car. The rear pads were still original and the fronts pads were only replaced shortly before selling it due to a problem with a caliper sticking causing damage to a disk
 
basically he's done 7000 miles in 4 years ish......from 2010 to 2015, which according to mileage should be fine....I must stress the car drove ever so well!!

So no running in service and not serviced between 2010 and Jan 2015.

That would be more than enough for me to walk away.

Plus the boot badge is not straight which sets my OCD off :lol:

What about the classic faux pas & giveaway of a non besotted owner :wink:

the shite exhausts, but was too obvious. :wink:
 
Oh - not the not knowing that the car does not have sodding adaptive headlights and "many options" but could not be bothered to list them?

arhhh so thats why such a low mileage car is so cheap . NO THANKS.

No way, sorry the car just is a walk away from without service history, if they want to sell it for 13k then fine... id take a punt but no way...

Its a lame advert for someone looking for close to £16k :o
Getting hard to find tho around 30k so no doubt he'l get interest & offers , one for the market watch post 8)
 
Reading this, I was so lucky with mine. Just had my power steering pump refurbed this week but otherwise I bought the car for a lot less than they are going for now.

Patience is the key with finding the right car and seller.
