What makes a Z4M mint?

I think for a car to be 'mint', the underside should also look in very good condition.
Especially if I see UK cars' underside there is always so much rust and aluminium corrosion. The UK weather is very hard on cars (and maybe cars are garaged less in general).

So either a car that has always been garaged and has seen very little rain driving, or having been restored; so beadblasting aluminium parts and beadblasting and painting of steel parts like subframes, diff housing, motormounts etc etc.



agree. underside tells you all you need to know...

i cant pretend mines like this because i did it.... its just 12k miles and not much use. The underside of it looks pretty god damn clean... some minor pitting on the alu parts but its pretty much as it left the factory, the rear diff section has all the stickers and markings etc from the factory and is really nice to see zero corrosion and all the stock paints on the different parts in tact and shiny , id guess theirs not many left like this. its a real pleasure to behold the underside of it. My couple year old cars look very different underneath, the daily drive for the cars in the uk is really hard on a cars general condition. Mint imo should relate to condition.







Holy crap Bee, thats the cleanest underside Ive ever seen bud. AWESOME!!! :thumbsup:
 
just a lack of use and lack of bad bad weather tbh.... nothing more, looks very cool in person tho!!
