That is a bit of a shock.

But if that is indicative of demand it looks like most current classifieds are priced ambitiously!

Agreed, that some private ads, look to be priced ambitiously Mr Tidy

Similarly, one popped up on here the other week too and the price, I did wonder if it was achievable

But, as we all know, it only takes one buyer to fall head over heels in love with something and it's sold - SIMPLES

I share your disappointment. In an earlier post I predicted £17K, but must admit I had based that on recent asking prices - obviously selling prices may be somewhat lower.

Just curious, but did you try advertising on here? Only I would have thought forum members might be glad to find one with Aero sills and Remus back-boxes! I was glad mine had Powerflow boxes when I bought it, and paid plenty for a pair of Aeros last year that happened to be the right colour.

I know someone suggested you might do better selling as standard and selling the modifications separately (probably on here), but that only works if you have the original parts to put back on.

Anyway good luck whatever you decide to do.

Z4M's, popping up for sale with the comparable 'goodies' fitted - which mine has, is a bit of a rarity, from what I've seen on the forum over the many years..

Interestingly, I've had contact from two interested - fellow forum'ites and have responded to them both this morning.

It's a lovely day outside and it looks set for a day or two
Ruby Black metallic, really does show off her infectious finish - in bright sunlight :spy:

I'm really not sure collecting cars for 'this' car is the way to go. The extras to the normal market won't add value, but a decent listing on here will see the extras appreciated and properly valued. It's a £17k car all day long IMO.

Have to say from what I’ve heard about collecting cars is that the values attained seem to be low, good for buyers not so for sellers. With this car though I wonder how many are put off by non original trimmed seats that have the wrong stitching for an ///M.

Has the Warwick Hall one been reduced 18,995?

Looks great but I would only have heated seats - yes even in a coupe.

 

[CraigP]

That's the same price it was originally advertised at, only difference is that it is back on AT now the EMS error has been sorted hopefully.

So a disappointing end to the auction https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2006-bmw-z4-m-roadster-1
Ended at £14750 , I did expect £15750 -£16750 but if the appetite isn't there then market forces dictate values
Fortunately the seller had a reserve , parting off the goodies then returning the car to market has to be the way forward for this one , hard to believe there wasn't stronger demand

Disappointing indeed, mr wilks

This is my cherished Z4M Roadster and I'm surprised she didn't make the reserve, set at a smidge over the mid £K teens, which I thought was a sensible and not unachievable figure in the first place, given all the extra goodies and Servicing etc, during my ownership..

Being positive: Every day, is a school day - as they say & a learning day

Removing the Aero side skirts; Remus back boxes and fitting standard items is do'able - but it'd be a shame IMHO.. As well as taking off the M3 strut brace too :?

She's available and ready to go & if anyone is seriously interested - ping me a PM?

Hi Woolybear,

Please could you pm me your contact details. I don't think I have enough posts to message you.

Just as a reference point, I'm going to be listing my beautifully looked after 90k mile Z4MC for sale shortly and I chucked the details in WBAC and they have offered £16k for it. Not too bad IMO.

 

[Beemingallover]

WBAC £7800!! - For my immaculate 2006, full service, 4 owner Z4MR! Get more for it on a street corner!
BTW just 78k mls.

That’s a good price from them!!

Have to say from what I’ve heard about collecting cars is that the values attained seem to be low, good for buyers not so for sellers. With this car though I wonder how many are put off by non original trimmed seats that have the wrong stitching for an ///M.

Seat Stitching is the same as mine( None M), which has the New England leather? so does this mean it's has a seat swop at some point as there's no M logo

Looks to be the case



When I first saw the stitching especially around the headrest I thought it was a retrim as ive not seen the seats trimmed like that before... seems to be factory but not Nappa.

Wow!

 

[Ole gits rule]

Ouch - nice but out expensive

 

[Mr Tidy]

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... n=standard

Wow!

It looks plenty for a 13 year old car, but I suppose that's the sort of money a BMW dealer would have wanted for a 3,700 mile MC in 2009!

So what price a virtually unused one now? Although it's likely to need new fluids and probably tyres.

 

[BTZ461]

The market seems to be adjusting up for the E86, and to be fair these cars have offered tremendous bang for your motoring buck for years, especially when compared to the P product out of Stuttgart. A lot to like here, fantastic colour
black interior, low miles. Wondering if the is the Hexagon car, that went down to to the south coast?

 

[Iggy]

There's a similar Approved Used one for £10K less but 40K more miles: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202103059794363
Would have gone for it had it been a few grand chaper :lol:

That looks great too!

I have to confess Imola Red would be my 1st choice of colour, but I'd prefer it with Sepang leather.

Hopefully you won't be zedless for too long.

Maybe I'm a bit boring but i think the black leather goes exceedingly well with Imola Red 8)
That one is very close to prefect for my taste.

I might be back in the zed owners club very soon :wink:

Not boring at all - I found an E46 325ti Sport Compact in Imola Red a while ago and had it for over 3 years that had black leather!

When you are looking for one of less than 600 MCs that came to the UK you can't get too hung up on colour combinations anyway - at least I got one with Imola leather.

Looking forward to developments.
