You won’t miss heated seats in the coupe. Seems a nice example.

You won't if you've never had them, but you probably would if you have had them.

In E86 ownership I did, then I didn't and now I have. Most of the year it doesn't matter, but now and again they are great!
 
Rang up about the one at Warwick cars to see if it was still for sale as its not on At at the moment. Apparently someone was going to buy it on Saturday, but the car came up with with a Traction control error, something to do with ABS sensor. So its going into the garage early this coming week to sort. So once back will go an view it.
Re the heated seats, my current E86 as heated seats which i do use but can live without especially as i keep my car n the garage anyway, so never that cold even in the winner and there's always the heater :)

How insane would you have to be to purchase a M without service history? Seller claims previous owner lost papers, and this owner has done service himselves.
Kms can be documented through photos from multiple years.

So a disappointing end to the auction https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2006-bmw-z4-m-roadster-1
Ended at £14750 , I did expect £15750 -£16750 but if the appetite isn't there then market forces dictate values :(
Fortunately the seller had a reserve , parting off the goodies then returning the car to market has to be the way forward for this one , hard to believe there wasn't stronger demand :cry:
 
That is a bit of a shock. :o

But if that is indicative of demand it looks like most current classifieds are priced ambitiously!
 
Wow that is definitely a surprise, I thought that with summer around the corner that would sell strongly (especially given its extras). Looked a good car....

Disappointing indeed, mr wilks :o

This is my cherished Z4M Roadster and I'm surprised she didn't make the reserve, set at a smidge over the mid £K teens, which I thought was a sensible and not unachievable figure in the first place, given all the extra goodies and Servicing etc, during my ownership..

Being positive: Every day, is a school day - as they say & a learning day :thumbsup:

Removing the Aero side skirts; Remus back boxes and fitting standard items is do'able - but it'd be a shame IMHO.. As well as taking off the M3 strut brace too :?

She's available and ready to go & if anyone is seriously interested - ping me a PM? :driving:

Agreed, that some private ads, look to be priced ambitiously Mr Tidy :roll:

Similarly, one popped up on here the other week too and the price, I did wonder if it was achievable :wink:

But, as we all know, it only takes one buyer to fall head over heels in love with something and it's sold - SIMPLES :thumbsup:
 
I'm really not sure collecting cars for 'this' car is the way to go. The extras to the normal market won't add value, but a decent listing on here will see the extras appreciated and properly valued. It's a £17k car all day long IMO.

I would think it would definitely be worth advertising in the classifieds on here, sure to sell (maybe people feel less sure of an auction). :driving:
 
Selling on the forum with the mods might be easier.
Sometimes mods can put buyers off.
I myself prefer the car as it left the factory.

Have to say from what I’ve heard about collecting cars is that the values attained seem to be low, good for buyers not so for sellers. With this car though I wonder how many are put off by non original trimmed seats that have the wrong stitching for an ///M.

I share your disappointment. In an earlier post I predicted £17K, but must admit I had based that on recent asking prices - obviously selling prices may be somewhat lower.

Just curious, but did you try advertising on here? Only I would have thought forum members might be glad to find one with Aero sills and Remus back-boxes! I was glad mine had Powerflow boxes when I bought it, and paid plenty for a pair of Aeros last year that happened to be the right colour. :D

I know someone suggested you might do better selling as standard and selling the modifications separately (probably on here), but that only works if you have the original parts to put back on.

Anyway good luck whatever you decide to do. :thumbsup:
