plate on this looks familiar..Andy? Mr Wilks??

Not up to speed on his current Z status.
Just wondering if it's fake?
 
Possibly someone who bought it off Andy or just used the pics off the forum. It’s his plate for sure.

Could just be a scammer.

Looks sketchy to me, zero feedback on that profile
 
Well it certainly isn't a bargain - £18K is strong money for a 90K mile MR!
 
This one got listed today - price looks sensible for a 1 owner MC.

That looks very cheap, they could have listed for 22k and it still would have been the lowest similar mileage car by far

It is cheap but it appears to me that not a great deal is selling at the moment?

That was my first thought too. I wonder if there's a reason why it's so cheap...
 
By contrast this MR looks expensive to me! :o

It does, but looking at the service history it has spent most of its life in Scotland and so I would take a good look underneath the car before parting with any cash.
 
Another CC car currently in a live auction - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2006-bmw-z4m-coupe-2

No mention of red bearings or significant work (shims have been replaced)...

That's the first one I went to look at back in May 2019 when it was being sold privately in Cambridgeshire! It had done 93,000 miles then so hasn't gone far since. The owner at the time didn't think the bearing shells had been replaced so unless there is any evidence of them having been done it would be wise to budget for them soon.

It's actually got Light Sepang Leather trim and seems to be the only one in that colour combination in the UK, and looks fantastic. The seller then was an enthusiast and had a stack of invoices. It looked like a well loved example and was only being sold because he had got a large dog and had bought an RS4 estate as a replacement. At the time I hadn't driven an M before and as it was SORN'd couldn't take it far because the village had some ANPR cameras. While I was trying to make up my mind it sold for £13.5 or 14K on Ebay.

I was thinking it might make £12.5-14k now, looks an honest car but there is money to be spent fairly soon for piece of mind. I would be wanting the road bearings changed, all the fluids of the car drained and replacing.
 
Couldn't resist another look at this one:- https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2006-bmw-z4m-coupe-2

It's up to £14K with 22 hours left so not really a bargain any more.
 
Another one up on Collecting Cars.....this does look pretty fine I might say - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2007-bmw-z4m-coupe-5
