Hello all. That is my old car. I part ex against a 991. The ZM4C is as lovely at it looks and whoever buys it gets a great car. Unfortunately they removed the Eventuri intake and put the original back on.

thank you 
I love the Z4M Coupe and miss her already. Got the same back for her that I paid for her after 5 years of very enjoyable ownership. Hexagon were very professional and was happy with the deal - probably could have got more privately but didnt want to hang around waiting to sell. If I didn't live in London and had a double garage I would not have sold her. Regarding the forum this is the first time I posted but am a watcher and love the cars so will continue to see whats going on here. Take care all.

At a guess I'd imagine it was sold to WBAC who seem to put most of their cars through BCA.
I don't know how it got to Collecting Cars, but I seem to remember it didn't sell at BCA.
It looks like a cheap MC for someone so long as they don't mind plenty of Black and a fairly basic spec with no heated seats, Sat Nav or parking sensors. But there would have been a buyer's premium on top of the hammer price, probably 10% + 20% VAT and then it's a £14K+ car. (I looked on their website but it doesn't seem to mention Buyer's Premium anywhere)!

I've been searching on Auto Trader and Pistonheads recently and I've noticed a very large number of coupes for sale. There also seem to be a fair few roadsters up for sale too. When I was looking for Z4M's there was only two coupes for sale and priced around £19k-£21k. Now they seem to be floating around £14k-£16k and the roadsters have also gone up in value it seems. (I know asking/listed price is not going to mean what they sell for). Heck there are even some Alpina Roadsters that are around the £14,000+ mark.
With all that's been going on, do you think it's people having to sell their M's off as they need the money to survive the coming weeks and months? I'm worried that once people can start to work etc again, the value of my car will plummet like a shopper going after the last bogroll. With my new puppy, I'm not comfortable having him sit on my passenger seat while I am driving, so I'm wanting to get hold of an Alpina B3 Bi-turbo or the D3 Bi-Turbo, which are both based off the E90 3 series, as they have back seats and I can put a dog divider in the car, so he can't jump through to the front when I am driving.

People will not be earning what they did, so it will have a very direct impact on the desirability and value of any performance car. There will no doubt be people who need to be out of their M car because they need the capital in their bank.
There will be some absolute performance car bargains for those spending £15k to £30k in the next 6 months and you do feel for people at the other end of that sale

3 cars ive been tracking for the past 6-12 months are the M2 M4 & 981 Cayman , this particular M2 was £27500 ( now £24450) a few weeks back & its hard to think £23k wouldn't drive it away , crazy days indeed

M4 seem even better value for money considering their original list price , its DCT (id be wanting manual) but would £20k drive this one away ?

As for the early 981 Cayman , when i started looking 2013/2014 up to 50k 2.7 were a smidge under £30k , less than a year has passed & i can't see it being long until you see nice examples change hands at £20k

One car I would add to that list is the BMW 1M. Yes it might be older, but M division really came out with a great sports coupe. With them also being manual and they hold their value pretty well. Also the N54 twin turbo setup has a bucket loads of power waiting to be unlocked. I think if I had around £35k+ I would get one and use it as a daily.

I wouldn't touch any M4 with Dct whatever spec or miles
The 981 is a looker 8)
56k on the M2 on a 16 plate in desirable colour I'd like to think if in at £23k flirted on within 12months sub 60k that would be depreciation free if not a few ££ in the back pocket

I've had my M4 DCT Comp 3 years now & can honestly say i cant see me ever selling it ! Perfect package. 520bhp DCT Gear box is amazing. imo

The M2 is a lovely thing..... Just to miley,the front will be battered in chips too.... My OCD would be off the scale with that...
The 981 is a great car,i adore them but the red ones sit around forever for sale,its POV spec and manual too,will probably need quite a bit of work at that miles too.. The price doesnt really suprise me for that.... Mine was better spec,had Porsche warranty,was prettier and had half the miles and one owner in late 2018 for £28k..
M4... I see that as probably best all round buy,although i like it the least..... Although i wouldnt have it with all the engine shyte thats going on with them at the moment..

Were there that many options on the 1M? I thought they were pretty much a set spec as it was well equipped to start with anyway? I guess the biggest thing was if they chose to get it in that launch spec Orange?
I like the 1M due to have small and fun to drive (I've driven 2 of them on test drives with my old man), also I liked the more simple layout, which reminds me of my Z4MR. Also with them being 6 speed manual, it just make them a really engaging car to drive. Also with it using the N54 twin turbo, you can really tweak the power to allow it to pester a M4 with little difficulty.
