Not having a go but why do people say this?

I’ve seen it time and time again across various car forums, but don’t seem to see it anywhere else.

It’s bought, not ‘brought’…

Fair enough in your case but that cannot be the case for everyone else who says this.

Yes it is minor but at the same time I still struggle to understand why people continuously use these terms incorrectly. It’s mind-boggling.
 
And it’s not just me!

Because they don't know any better, mate.
Blame the Government. In the late 1980s the 'powers that be' decided that English grammar and spelling was no longer important, so changed the teaching in schools. Apparently, in their infinite wisdom, they thought that bad grammar and spelling would be sorted out by computer software so was not necessary to be taught anymore.
There is a whole generation of people who can't spell or use grammar anywhere near properly.

They changed back about 20 years ago but it was too late for many. :)

I applaud you for persevering though mate.
 
Seems its a post-modern issue, its the same in Sweden, with the same generation of people. No-one can spell or even know how simple everyday things actually work.
Here, its gotten even worse with a "feministic" school which in theory would make it easier for girls to score higher grades in typical "boy" matters such as math, physics or sports. Results: Boys are now dragging far behind girls and university's are populated by 75% women. Such is the state of "the worlds most Gender Equal country"....

How very dare you! My smelling is top notch, as is my grandma. I went to a very good skool. I brought all my own sextbooks and everythink!
 
This one has just appeared on Autotrader. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202302174362557?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=gu470za&model=Z4%20M&radius=1500&make=BMW&page=1

The price seems reasonable and in Ruby Black with Champagne leather and Piano Black trim it looks fantastic.
 
After growing tired of looking at the E46 M3 and all the issues these have along with the strong money they command, I've turned my attention to the Z4M. I have spotted the following that seems reasonable, service history and spec seem decent. The PDC looks after market.

On the face of it looks like someone is being realistic given the current situation, well worth a chat with the seller I'd think. :thumbsup:
 
I've had a bit of chat, the PDC rear is factory and the front is retro fit. Although the rear still looks retrofit to me ?

It's due a service, possibly an Insp 2 (last service was may 21 which just lists Oil, previous Insp 2 was 2019 and 6k miles) going by the history and the MOT is up in May. MOT history shows 3 failures (2 for brakes and 1 for a tyre) over it's life.

I'd probably look to get the asking price down based on the above, potentially £1k to 1.5k of maintenance/MOT required.
 
yeah ,that Rear PDC Isnt factory. they are countersunk into the bumper from factory. you can see those are proud , so aftermarket for sure.
 
Could be a bargain for someone.

Nice example but I'm not sure £22k for a 40k ZMC is a " bargain " & i suspect those with a plus £20k budget won't be taken with the self serviced hand written notes in service book .
