M market watch

[Angelus666]

Given the type of car they are used for today (meaning not a daily), the oem nav now just looks awful and detracts from the nice clean design of the interior. BMW's best interior design is the Z8 and the CSL, both took the non-technology route and have stood the test of time better for it.

I got into a 2017 AMG GTS a little while back, lovely interior apart from the cheap Chinese massive iPad thing stuck in the middle of the dash. It looks awful today and will really spoil/devalue that car in 5 years time. Why manufacturers went away from the folding/hidden screen is utterly beyond me?

True. I love driving the E89 with the screen away. Nice clean dash.

77k ZMC £18k with "interesting " interior option https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202010084774208?sort=relevance&model=Z4%20M&advertising-location=at_cars&make=BMW&price-to=20000&include-delivery-option=on&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&postcode=bb120hr&radius=1501&page=1

Needs a trip to the trimmers to have that blue dyed black

I’d put money on fact these seats used to be in a non ///M. Pretty sure you could never spec that combo.

I'd agree - I can't see any "M" logo on the headrests. But when carbon leather was standard on the dash it seems remarkable someone actually chose to have brushed aluminium!

 

[Beemingallover]

I've got a neighbour who has a blue (not Interlargos) 2007 Z4 2.0 and his has the same seats. Agree that the aluminium dash doesn't do it any favours either.

I quite like the "flimper spec" with no nav and alu-panels
I just never got that idea of "carbon-stamped-leather"..
"Hallo design magager! I have ein Bisschen idea! In a sportscar, you want lightweight materials! But also premium luxury! What about carbon-leather??"
"But then it's NOT lightweight? And it wont look like leather?"
"Deine point being..?"
"Ok it could be a talking point I suppose."

Well we had the thread about the 150K mile MC yesterday (https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=126865)

and I noticed this one today:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202011206329369?sort=price-asc&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&model=Z4%20M&make=BMW&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=gu470za&include-delivery-option=on&radius=1500&page=1

Another £2K for 50,000 less miles seems like a good deal - so long as you like plenty of black!

 

[Angelus666]

Just got an email from WBAC so thought let's see what my MC might be worth. So, for my 89k mile car they would give £15k, which I thought was a pretty good bid from them. That's £2k more than this time last year.

Only M cars have Interlagos historically in BMW world.

Really nice example from Morgan Cars NI -

Love the Interlagos blue and the rare caramel leather (biased on that one!).
1 owner with 49k and full bmw service history!

That looks like it's in stunning condition. I'm not fussed on the interior but a lovely example

No, that does look like a good price for a low mileage example.

Although I'm not a fan of the interiro either - the first MC I Looked at was Interlagos with Sepang leather and that was stunning!

 

[MKZ4000]

Looks a like a nice low mileage example

Sitting at £14K just now, which doesn't seem dear with less than a day to go!

But I'm pretty sure the Ms have a ZF gearbox, unlike most other BMWs. And the service details don't mention valve clearances, although knowing Will at TWG they may well have been done.

 

[whopwop]

Seems like a bit of a bargain if it goes for under 15k to be honest

Getrag gearboxes on Z4M and Z4 chassis.

Nope, M's have a ZF gearbox, not that it really matters.

You wonder why the left luggage panel's been out
