Probably about right for the average asking price this year but on the expensive side right now due to an influx of MC's for sale in the last 6 weeks which have pushed the prices down a bit.

Discusting interior

It'd be under £150 to convert that trim set to a quality piano black finish though.
Looks like extended leather on the door cards too - so with that, the recent Insp 2, new rears, OEM strutbrace, no horrible nav etc, I reckon it's a good example at a decent price.
I kind of like it - it's a very different look for a Zed. :?

This is market watch so you're quite right. I was making a personal comment about that interior. It would probably feel a very different environment from other Zeds - more a Californian sunshine state car rather than a European sports car. Still, I quite like it for being different and I'm sure it would feel very relaxed (not quite right for an ///M though

I take mine to a BMW motorsport garage, the guy that owns it builds and races his own cars, he even designs his own parts sometimes, and he also owns a Z4M 
. I trust him a lot more that some lacky in an official BMW garage. I also track my car, so it makes sense for me.

I know for a fact that the Indy I use takes the cars from a BMW dealer that they cant fix or diagnose. Not sure if the customer knows or not!
If a part BMW SH & BMW Specialist effects value I don't know. Maybe to someone who is just buying without researching fully. I would expect most buyers of these to do a lot of background reading.
I don't care either way as I bought it for me, not what the next owner might/might not want, and I have kept it maintained to my standard which is way above what BMW recommend.

These cars are hitting 10 years old, how many cars of this age are still serviced at main dealers?
To me it's not an issue as long as where it's been done has a good reputation. For example I've started looking at Elise's again as I have found a well respected indi just 5 miles away. He also does BMW and Porsche as having worked on these at main dealers. Now I'd take an Elise there as he is well respected in that community, but as BMW I've never heard of him so would not.
Regarding main dealers what reputation do they actually have, most aren't that great, at best satisfactory, but most don't really care about you.
