I think a few unfair comments there as if I haven't owned one before... or have no idea... I think that's the reason I'm so picky I don't want to buy a poor example for the sake of buying another.
All I mean is pretty much what MRPT said there aren't any currently for sale with credentials I would purchase like I said poor history as the no.1. Most have missed the 1200 mile service, if that is something you would be happy with purchasing then that's up to you but it certainly wouldn't be something I would entertain, essentially the most important.
With recent experience of buying a Boxster S with 2 owners FSH and well documented for the engine to go 1000 miles later has made me pretty paranoid about what signs are telling me and what's in store later down the line. Fair the M is less sensitive but I only have experience of up to 63k and past 70kmis where preventative maintenance is key especially age related items people don't think about.
I intend to have fun in it so want a car I can put a few miles on without it hitting high mileage within the first year.
I spent a lot of money and time getting my M coupe to what I would consider very good condition and I agree I drove it hard and looked after it well and as a second car put 20k on it.
Like I said my comments are more the state of the market. Every car is at a premium even the dogs barely any have the credentials as simple as good service history which I would say is why non have moved and new ones disapere so quick. I would understand if you guys had rang to ask about said cars like I have, pretty much crossed the 25 cars on auto trader off the list because of poor history or the research into the random garages they have been serviced.
Also the Z3M market is a different proposition they are 5 years older than the Z4M so more like 15-16 years old and have the classic status the Z4M is being priced like that but barely any in memory of the high end expensive cars of 25k+ have sold. The two cars currently for sale with over 100k have been sitting for the best part of 6-8 months all through the busy summer months and now through winter.
