Its interesting reading.
The Porsche thing at the min is everything is worth like 10k more than it was 6 months ago. My dads 991.1 2012 21k literally has everything we had valued at Kendal Porsche against a new Cayman GTS and they offered 46k I did a WBAC last week and they offered 58k for it. 12k more in 6 months. The 996 4S we have has also appreciated 6k too.
I put the Z4M in, mines a rare combo being imola on imola and got offered 2k less than I payed 2 years ago and I got it for a really good price then. Motorway offered 2k less than that... sub 10k... Its on 71k but is an early 06. Equivalent cars up for sale for 15-17k but lots seem to be sitting and prices seem high.
Im all up for prices going up but I just think the market isn't supporting these prices lots of those cars have been sitting for months.
Prices vs actuality seems to be a big discrepancy. Could be wrong tho as the more they appreciate the better!
People saying both ways that the market will only get better or the bubble with burst but the Porsche markets doesn't matter what it is everything has gone up significantly not just over 6 months but the last 4 years. For example 997.2 GTS are more now than they were new 12 years later, knocking on the door of 996.2 and 997.1 GT3 money.

To add some balance, it took ages to sell my 981S PDK in Basalt Black with 20" wheels.
They are super spec sensitive to sell, given the absolute misery standard spec. Mine was an ex demo with 16k+ of options, yet there was always one or two that were missing, when negotiating a sale. Eventually a chap from the Porker Silverstone school bought it. Nice chap.
I did well out of my 993C2. Not really keen on the augmented steering and size of the 981 or 991.2s etc, that I've experienced.
The Zed remains a complete bargain for what it is. A manual GT3 spec engine in a convertible with limited grip. Perfect for
Most people are unaware of the M model. Those that are usually mention Clarkson's poor review. Unlike the 964RS and M3 CSL, which were also not very well received by the media at launch, the Z4M still isn't in big demand. In the UK at least. Europe is a different matter entirely.

I remember the reviews when they were new not being too favourable.
Prices still seeem swtrong, although it's hard to tell how many are selling.
Autotrader reckon this one is a good price, and it's a great colour combination IMHO:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106284365456?advertising-location=at_cars&sort=datedesc&radius=1500&postcode=gu470za&make=BMW&model=Z4%20M&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%2

Doesn’t seem too bad with full BMWSH if the mileage doesn’t put you off

Did the oil get done at the same time as the brake fluid in 2016?
It ran for 2 consecutive 4 year periods missing an oil change. I understand that some people just follow the cars CBS schedule but you’d think a garage would recommend the oil change when in for the brakes.
It’s covered pretty low miles during that period so it wouldn’t bother me.
It’s at the age where you’d be considering cam bearings and Vanos. An oil check would put your mind at ease whether the missed oil changes did any premature damage and a guide on how quick you’ll need to do that preventative maintainable.
All price discussion points ultimately

Looks clean.Nickbmw08 said:
Just needs some new BMW wheel caps, wheel lugs and bolts, and a lick of paint on the calipers.
It may be also be worth noting that there are some gaps in the MOT history though, with it skipping the test in 2016 and 2020.
Nevertheless will be interesting to see what it goes for.
Won't be many at that mileage, so I'll place my bet at £23,500
