This appears to have been registered early enough to be on a lower road tax than *most* Z4M's, could pay off in the long run for anyone who wants a Z4M roadster to keep for a long time.

(I know nothing about the car, but thought it might be interesting to someone)
 
When I see a handbrake in that position, it sends shivers down my spine :(

Perhaps a dumb question... but what is wrong with the handbrake position?

It is too high, meaning that the mechanism is either wrecked that it requires that high a setting or if not, it is being stretched by a heavy handed user.

On my latest Z, the handbrake was in that position requiring a full rebuild :x

We have come to the conclusion that dogs are nice, people not so. This is our previous dog, our current is an English Pointer

May we always be the people our dogs think we are. 👍
 
10 clicks is the requirement. That one looks absolutely fine. If you get less than ten clicks then chances are you haven't released the service spring to adjust it and the handbrake is actually dragging slightly.

Indeed , give me the company of a four legged friend over a 2 legged one any day .
We've had a good few mutts but can't imagine life with Luna , she's a real character & everywhere we go she goes .

Its such a shame the ved on these has got to where it has , its not about affordability its the niggling feeling the government is rinsing all it can from you :cry: i don't want to hear the " i sorn mine for 10 months " waffle , i like to drive my weekend cars all year round even though they may sit in garage for 4-6 weeks & not move .
if road tax on ZMs was £250 -£300 pa i wouldn't hesitate in buying another .
I think these 2 examples on the lower rate are the first seen on here for many many years & for that reason alone will get interest .

10??? Should be 3 to 4
 
The Band M road tax is a bit painful, until I go for a drive then it feels worth it!

Which is just as well as all the ones before the cut-off date are Roadsters. :(

It didn't look too high to me, but it has been a while since I had my last z4.
