Never understand why dealers panic sell.....
Because Z4Ms fell through the floor when times were good, so there's little hope for them now!There is no need to drop the price to that stoopid level, for that age and mileage.

Facts:
I paid £31,000 from an asking price of £31,850 for an AUC 2007/56 plate with Sat-Nav, all the toys, and 1,800 miles almost a year ago.
Today the cheapest AUC 2008/57 car with similar spec(I.E. same car today) is £31,990 with 9k miles.
There simply isnt the supply of these cars there was a year ago. Yes there are a few sub £30k cars now, and you couldnt get them for that money a year ago. but they are generally older higher mileage cars, that are priced correctly.

There are 16 sub-£30k cars on the AUC site, mostly low mileage.Today the cheapest AUC 2008/57 car with similar spec(I.E. same car today) is £31,990 with 9k miles.

I repeat I'm collecting a top spec 07 car today for £27250, so a low spec car for 25K isn't a one off.
I've been offered a least 8 cars with sat nav for around 28K,mostly 07 plate and some newer with less than 10K on the clock, supply isn't low, more cars are coming to dealers all the time. These are main dealers too.

Sorry, did you not get the reaction you were hoping for the first time you posted it?I've been offered a least 8 cars with sat nav for around 28K,mostly 07 plate and some newer with less than 10K on the clock, supply isn't low, more cars are coming to dealers all the time.

What you are buying sounds like the same car I paid £31k for a year ago. What you are paying today, is a very good deal, but only what I would expect bearing in mind you are buying your car almost a year later.
The £25k car is 2008 with 1,700 miles. I think it is a one off. If you can find the same car for the same money or less, let me know.
Not everybody wants Sat Nav. Granted lots of people do, thats why Sat Nav cars command more money. But some people will be happy to take the cheaper car with no Nav. The guy who has bought the £25k car, would think the idea of paying £2.5k more for a year older car with a few extra bits would be silly.
How do you know what supply main dealers had of these cars one year ago, compared to today?

I love you guys trying to prop up the values 
this aint no classic like an e30 m3 its going to drop a bit further lol. Just keep them and use them, forget about the massive depreciation. You can walk into any bmw dealer that has a z4mc and get them down to £25k. My bmw dealer friend offered me a perfect 20,000 mile e90 m5 for £37k and that didn't tickle me, that's the way things are going.

Just winding back to that point on Sat Nav. Why did BMW put the 'old' version of sat nav in these cars? Are they all based on the old version or do laters cars get the new operating screen?
Good point. Not sure is the answer.The X3, and 1 Series also have the same old Nav System. They also share a lot of other systems.

I actually thought it was a better system than the one I have in my E92 M3, certainly the software is much faster, that was the thing I really likes about my Z4M, it was relatively simple.Porscheplayer said:

So? Your car is an 07, this is a full year younger for significantly less. If it were an 07 we were talking about i'd see your point, but this is a 2008 car.I've been offered a least 8 cars with sat nav for around 28K,mostly 07 plate and some newer with less than 10K on the clock, supply isn't low, more cars are coming to dealers all the time.
