Good Afternoon,
I am the new happy owner of the low mileage ZM and i can report back it is lovely and i have had many BMW's but this has to be the best condition 6 nearly 7 year old car i have ever seen. He was a older chap, in his 60's and bought it 6 months old as a BMW demo .. yes they are to blame for the wood!! It has been garaged all the time and you can tell from the lack of corrosion, dirt around the seals etc, tyres are original but not perished etc. It’s just had an inspection 1 with Sytner BMW and i am getting it checked by a specialist in my local area just to make sure the main dealer has not missed anything.
I was on this forum some time ago with a very low mileage white coupe and a black one before that, i have also had 2 z3m coupe's, a CSL and a V8 e92. previously plus many other non M cars.
I am a little gutted this Z4M has not got the upgraded HIFI but i think that’s all it is missing and the full leather more than makes up for it in my opinion, and you really do get quite a lot of leather (full doors, a pillar, centre console, rear bulkhead behind the seats etc etc). cruise control not interested in with a sports car, it has heated seats and nav.
In my opinion there is no substitute for low mileage but agree it has to be kept and serviced in the correct way. the black coupe i had was 25,000 miles and definitely felt like a second hand car, where this Z4 feels and looks brand new !!
and yes the wood will be changed .. on the hunt for some carbon structure or piano back or i will get my local body shop to rub them down and glass black them !!
I have already bought a stubby aerial again, some new wheels centres and after any interior trims if anyone wants to sell or swap them for the lovely wood!! plus a car cover and would also like a wind deflector if anyone interested in selling please.
cheers
Gareth
