Bit cheeky for a CAT D..
Wrote off when one year old....
Would of been a BIG repair bill to write that off in 2007!
Liverpool
A couple of ways to view it I suppose...Z4M-2006 said:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4M-Roadster-cat-d-/352083682212?hash=item51f9d2a3a4:g:dC4AAOSwAPVZHWDM

- It was 'written off' at less than a year old due to 'new for old' policy
- If it wasn't written off for a new for old policy, then there was some serious damage or lots of hire car charges (would want lots of proof/photos/documents)
- It's seems a fair reduction vs a non-cat 40,000 mile Z4MR (say vs £20k?)
As a cheap way into M ownership a friend of mine has repaired a Cat D 2006 Z4MR, Silver Grey with Black leather interior.
Reg 09.06.06 reg HK 06 JTX. BMW service history to 56300 miles last service 58,900 - 11500 miles to next service. MOT 01.03.18
Cat D repaired - nearside door/wing/suspension arm replaced
New battery roof motor relocated in the boot Sat Nav, heated seats, electric adj. seats, rear park assist, rear spoiler.
£10,000 Contact Jon 0777 63 06 018
I have driven Jon's M and can state it drove impressively well, the engine is very smooth and my experience driving this M led me to take my exhaust back to original - it was an excellent drive. Sorry I didn't take more time to check it all over but it was an example I might very well have considered had I not been in possession already of my M. Please don't ask me for further info - more details available using his mobile number above. He's a very nice gent so do give him a call if interested.

It's a Cat D - but as I said - give Jon a ring for more details if interested. (I've only been over to see the M once - called over to drive the car and try it with a standard exhaust - excellent)

Assuming that's not a Cat write off it seems exceptional value. I've bought cars from Northern Ireland before, you can pick up a bargain and easy enough to sort the paperwork, plus you get a nice drive down to Dublin, ferry to Dublin then pretty drive back through Snowdonia.

If that checks out it's an absolute bargain. Service history looks spot on and owned by a professor. All good signs.

Been on sale here for a long time.
It was up at a dealer for £10995.
May be there's more to it than meets the eye??
A quick call or email might throw more light.Muckinonthesofa said:gerryp said:Muckinonthesofa said:If that checks out it's an absolute bargain. Service history looks spot on and owned by a professor. All good signs.

Perhaps the dealer had it `sale or return`.
Less than 48 hours after officially going on sale (on PH) I have had a viewing and taken a deposit on my low mileage MC. Buyer is a nice chap who bought one new in 2008 when dealers were discounting heavily and finding it hard to shift them. He put 70,000 mile on it and then sold it (believe it or not to WBAC), but has regretted selling since and wanted to find a good one to keep.
Price agreed is what I would consider to be good for both of us - it's a seller's market if you have a really decent car, but at the same time if he uses it 'sparingly' I don't think he'll lose anything either over the next 5 years even taking servicing and consumables into account.
Sad day for me though - an amazing machine that I will miss.

Interesting Sutts. Congratulations or commiserations, I'm not sure which should apply!
I'm thinking of putting my Imola Red Z4M Coupe up for sale which is a 2007 car with 31,700 miles on it and which I've owned for nearly 10 years. I was thinking of putting it up for £24,995 as the car has full BMW Main Dealer Service History and a current BMW Comprehensive Insured Warranty. The fact your car has sold so quickly at £25,000 says it all for a superb car with low miles.
I'm not 100% convinced I'm doing the right thing though as I bought a 997 911 C2S to replace the Z4MC but find it a little tame after the livewire Z4M experience, even though the C2S has a PSE and sounds a bit mental at full chat! :?
Hope you don't miss yours too much!

I have been following the market recently, and i don't understand how all the Z4MC are roughly £20,000-£22,000 regardless of mileage. Sellers are requesting the same amount for one with 107,000 miles as with one on 63,000 miles. Are they just chancers hoping for a nibble? As the turn over doesn't seem to be that high, over the last 2 months I have seen the same cars still available.
Is the market inflated right now? or have they been organically increasing over the last 12 months?
I am looking at buying one April next year, but if the prices are on the rise, then I would make the leap sooner rather than later. If anybody has some historical data that would be awesome!

Asking prices are not always a reflection of actual selling prices but i wouldn't expect to drive one away for under £18k with sub 90k miles IF its a decent example
I wouldn't say the ///Market had changed much over the last 18months , right cars , right spec , right history will always sell if reasonable priced in the current market ( MR or MC )
Your problem if you pick a window to buy will be choice & prices at the time will dictate what you will have to pay to own one , if i was in your position id formulate a plan to watch the market from December onwards , view as many as possible that you can realistically get to & be ready to buy at any point that the right car wafts under your nose :wink: best of luck
A chap on pistonheads shared some data with me. He's been tracking advertised prices of Z4MCs since 2014. Hopefully he won't mind me sharing this but as he was openly offering to anyone I assume he won't. Thanks again Spencer if you see this!

Thanks - I am very sorry to see it go, and my wife is genuinely quite upset/angry about it going!
A friend of mine had a similar gen 1 997 C2S to yours and we drove them back to back last year. The Porsche was a lovely car and obviously very capable, but dare I say it just a little boring in comparison to the MC. He is a part-time racing instructor and got out of my car with the words "that engine!!"
I am happy with the price achieved by mine as a private sale, but was confident that the condition, history and spec justified it and that would become clear once viewed in person by a genuine buyer. When a 1M on the same miles is being advertised at £45-50k it makes it makes our cars look like good value!
As for where the market is heading, in five years time I think a really good low mileage (30-50 thousand miles) MC will be a solid £30k if not more for the best examples.
