So whats the considered life expectancy of the S54B32 engine? 300-500k miles total?

If it had Timing chain, vanos, engine shells and engine mounts replaced?
Surely that engine would last another 100k miles (been serviced every year) before more major work would need to be carried out?

It would last forever

:lol: I love that sketch! One of my favourite only fools moments.

Good point, well made

Simon, great review. Clearly a car in need of a little TLC like you say. Perhaps someone out there could turn the little negatives into positives. Where work needs doing, perhaps an opportunity to make it unique. Respray perhaps? Engine rebuild? In the right hands with the right skills and equipment this could be a great project car.

If an M coupe ever comes up in similar circumstances I'll be snapping it up!

Simon - many thanks for visiting earlier today. Always great to chat to a fellow car enthusiast and Z4M fan. Was very kind of you to make the trip to provide a balanced opinion for prospective purchasers on these forums.

I think your words are very fair and considered and capture the car pretty well. To the right buyer, I think it’s certainly a rough diamond - has great potential but needs some TLC. It is priced as such and as Simon has said, sensible offers will be seriously considered.

Ref. the stutter/potential misfire at low revs under considerable throttle, I have taken on Simon’s advice and just replaced all 6 ignition coils - this in conjunction with the hidden TPS that I’ve recently replaced already and the spark plugs that were changed during its inspection 2 last month. There’s no time like the present and my local Euro Car Parts happened to have 6 Bosch ignition coil units in stock - a perfect coincidence! I can confirm that whilst this hasn’t totally resolved the issue (if you are aggressive with the throttle in the “wrong” gear - i.e. at low revs, there is still a slight judder), the issue seems to have reduced and if anything the car seems generally to be running smoother. I drove around 20 miles just now and whilst the issue was still provokable with a leaden right foot in a high gear relative to speed, I found it to now be unnoticeable when driving normally and briskly.

Hope this is useful information for anyone interested

Hi all,

Asking price reduced again for a final time.

Hoping to sell in the ballpark of the new price, but if there is no interest, I'm quite happy to hold onto it through the winter.

Happy Z4MR perusing!
