Hasn't that one surfaced before :?
£24K though, and 2K more miles than "Queenie"

I think it's about £5K over?
No doubting it's a great looking car though 8)

If we admit the coupe carries a premium over the roadster of £1-2k, then deduct a bit for the 2k or so mileage over mine, and apply that to what mine was being offered at I'd suggest it should be up at £19950 or thereabouts. That would require it being spotless and with full bmwsh as expected for an AUC

I Kind of built that in. Mine was up at £18850 and 6k miles. Add coupe premium and deduct miles you're close to the price mine was up for. Gives a bit of wriggle room. What a car though! That's five or six really low mileage examples on the forum recently
Not sure whether to be pleased, or sad they've just sat in a garage. Good for the buyer, depreciation hell for the seller. I worked out the previous owner of mine had paid around £6 per mile of usage
I'm glad yours was not up when I was looking could have been tempted and because I only do 3-4 k a year max in the Zed it would have stayed low- better buy that m3 to keep the miles off it Stuart..
I miss the spoiler on my last one - made the boot much easier to open!

Stuart, what value, as a premium, did you place on a 2006 car having only 6k miles on the clock as opposed to say the average mileage of say 60k miles? Did you pay that premium so that you can keep the miles low, as a collector's car, or will you eat into the premium by using the car asa DD?Stuart Truman said:

Hard to call a number as such. I was more concerned about cost to change e.g. my car plus how much. If I had to put a number to it, I figured around £1500 for the mileage benefit.
The car is in no way a daily drive. It's a high days and holidays/weekend toy. In the summer it might go into the office as #69 did but that's a couple of times a month. Flip side is the car is not an investment either. I'm lucky I can afford such toys and I'm buying it to use it when I want.
Make sense?
exdos said:On that basis, you reckon a 2006 Z4MR with 60k miles is worth around £17,250? I'm sure you'll hate seeing the odometer increasing the miles although you'll enjoy driving them all.
You know what? I'm not going to be precious about it. Essentially I've got a car that's in "as new" condition at about a third of the cost of a new one. If I put stellar miles on it for another 3 years it'll still be average mileage. It's going to go on forum meets and give me a huge amount of pleasure. Just driving it home will put 4x it's average weekly mileage over its life in one trip
The price I got for #69 means I essentially had a free Zed for 18 months, just what I spent on her post purchase which was very little in the scheme of things. Alpina motoring has worked out about as cheap as any car I've had
Saw this the other day, looks nice and yes it is rare, low mileage and an 58 plate. I think he should be asking 21 and be taking 19,5 +
High days and holidays Stuart, just like mine, I'm just over 2 yrs with mine and I still feel like it's a new car to me every time I get in it, the difference is with the GQ is that it is to all extent a " new car " , it's a special car that's for sure, top drawer
That's great!Stuart Truman said:
When I realised that my Z3MC (S54) had lowish mileage and that the S54 had become the favoured variant, I started using it less and less, although happy to take it to The Ring and fly round there. I decided to buy my Z4MC to spare the Z3MC. It's hard not to be precious about having one of the best examples though. I'm sure you'll enjoy it whatever.
But you use your Z3MC for when you want to, that's the point of them
