The number of owners is no negative IMO. With cars like these, think of it as it's had 5+ honeymoon periods, where people will spend lots of money early on to do every little job to keep it perfect.....where as someone who has had it 10 years might not have the same desire to spend over and over on the same car.

When I was looking for mine I initially wanted low owners. I soon found out a lot have 4,5,6+ owners. I bought one with multiple previous owners in fantastic condition with great history from a very well respected dealer who specialised in them. Owners became irrelevant to me in the end.

Yes, multiple owners seems very common on Z4s - probably because they aren't often a daily driver and so often they become impractical for various reasons, like parenthood, etc.
My M has had 7 and my 3.0Si had 5 when I bought it in 2016, but you just have to buy on condition and history. Just one or two would be great, but you could end up waiting ages!

The euro prices are jumping right up. It looks like they are literally double the value of an equivalent UK car.
Same as my SLK55. Here approx. £18k, Germany €40k!
It seems a bit crazy given that for a long time new prices in the UK were higher than most European countries.
Maybe it's the British attitude that cars with 100K miles are pretty much scrap? Whereas most of us realise that just isn't true.

I think that could be fair, also UK is a enclosed area with it's own little trends etc, EVERYONE'S raving about the M3 CSL and rather forgetting completely about the Z4M despite the similaritys, thats just one example.Mr Tidy said:
Then of course RHD cars hardy sell 0.1% in LHD countries (or vice versa) so the markets will never mix and balance out.
Also media channels (TV, youtube etc) are mainly local around central Europe. Here in Scandinavia we're probably more multilingual and more people watch very british stuff like TopGear, Mr.JWW or SeenThruGlass. The Z4M's are also cheaper here than in Germany for instance. (Stupid) media today is a way too large factor for many things IMHO...

Bang on. I've had mine 18 months, spent a bomb on it to get it exactly how i want it and in the next month or two it's going to need to go up for sale - sums up the comments
Is it my imagination or is the market getting softer for our cars? It seem that you can get a good coupe now for around the 11k mark, here is a good example that we missed out on at the end of November, just a month ago, 10600 pound plus 6% buyers premium. 91000 miles, FSH.Black / Carbon trim. Watched a couple go thru BCA too, 60k miler for not much more than this between Christmas and New Year
