Free basic check https://cazana.com/uk/car/YL06OGU
X11OAN seems familiar. Think it might be an x forum car. Owen rings a bell for some reason or other.
great info @Ewazix

This was a concern 6 years ago, after seeing your little rakish body drive a kart, (not very well, I may add), I decided that losing some weight would help. Also moving over here took my thoughts to other things and projects. Now ready to move on to the next chapter. I assume that you are now too old to get in and out of the 'Z' hence moving it on and having mid life crisis
Couple of pointers dude:
Make sure you do a full HPI check on the car.
Sounds stupid but Read the service history. There should be a nice flow to it. For those that live in the dark, it’s not hard to get a blank book / semi filled service book, a legit dealer stamp and make your own up.
Check panel gaps match up and are symmetrical both sides. I accompanied a fellow forum member to a M viewing. After an hour of looking and rolling around on the floor, it was clear the car was unrecorded accident damaged. Told the seller and 2k just fell off his price. That was roadster no. 474

Any particular reason you are drawn to the black one over this interlagos one :? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201708118241158?sort=sponsored&postcode=bb120hr&make=BMW&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&radius=1501&model=Z4M&page=1
Its a ex forum car , extremely well kept & comes with a pretty big under bonnet bonus :wink: as in a Gruppe M induction kit worth at least £600

Wheels, red callipers, mud flaps & Interlagos Blue.
I'm sure it's a nice car, just not for me

apart from being Interlagos blue ( which is simply stunning in the real when compared against silver , black or grey) you've just highlighted the reasons why the car is still not sold , now look at it a different way .Positives / Service record is tiptop , it has a forum pedigree , it has a high end induction kit .
Negatives / Mudflaps are a swift removal , calipers are a hour a corner to fettle , the BBS wheels are worth around £400 , so add another £300 & £700 gets a decent set of 224s .
So bid £12500 & for £13k you have a very nice , well sorted example on your hands
Horses for course , if you want all your boxes ticking then searching around £13k cars is likely to prove fruitless & frustrating .
" Johne89" has exactly what you are after with nothing to fault , you just need £16500 to get it

It was red for a time
Ha, ha, ha just started to read a few posts and gave up
They have a nice RB as well, but are not moving on price. Given that I now have an idea on what they buy at and then sell on for is very helpful 8)
