Why can't I find a Z3M Coupe....?

[bluepony]

...that isn't a CAT C/D or missing it's entire service history?
It's proving hard. There are only a few on PH, most of which are sold. Autotrader no better.

I was looking at the Munich Legends website earlier and they had a couple, I am not sure about Service history etc, but the one in estoril blue looks nice.... Happy hunting, cracking looking car!

[bluepony]

Munich legends have sold both of theirs. It's very unhappy hunting so far!

[Gruber]

It's worth leaving your name and number with ML, 4Star, etc and asking them to give you a call if they get one into stock or if they hear of someone looking to sell.

Rare cars and they're only going to get rarer as they're pranged or shipped abroad.

[snowley]

Increasingly rare to find a good one now and this is completely reflected in the rise in prices.

When you do find one, I imagine it will be an extremely good investment!

[BuzyG]

A mate at work has been looking for two years. Good luck.

[bluepony]

TWO YEARS?! I might have to buy a 911 instead. Or an M5...

[CRA1G]

There was an Estroil Blue one at Anglia Classic Car Auctions last month 2000 W Reg done 70k FSH sold for £13860....!

[alanw89]

I went over to Belfast to get mine just over a year ago but there definitely seemed to be more available then, usually 10 in the classifieds at any time but now it seems theres only 1 or 2 that are actually still available.

Unfortunately mine is now is a cat C, done in my ownership when it was getting the boot floor welded and the interior went on fire but I'll be holding on to it for a while so doesn't bother me right now.

I think that one that sold at auction went for a surprising amount, if I remember correctly it had been off the road a while and either needed a couple of jobs doing or was missing some history, but prices do seem to be going up.

[ChrisMCoupe]

I found mine through the http://www.z3mcoupe.com website, so worth checking on there if you haven't already. This was 6/7 years ago now though when there were certainly more around for sale than now.

Good luck.

Spoke to the guy a work, who's after one, today. He drove from Cornwall, to Munich Legends, to check out those two examples, ready to buy. Put a provisional offer on the Silver one, if rust in the boot and other Items were sorted. It was sold the next day, as seen, for around the asking price to my knowledge. So he's still looking.

I can only assume from that example that they are now being bought for investment, as much as to drive. Which is a little sad, but understandable.

Only 20k miles!

Assuming the condition is commensurate with mileage - i.e. it's mint and has genuinely full service history - I'd have thought you might get some nibbles at £20k.

I can see that kind of car being worth at least high 30s. Just not many around and a proper cult following. The z4m are stabilising too...

I am not sure but I would say £25k
Hexagon Moderns would bite your arm off for that.
20k mileage WOW.

Wow!! £30k for an S50.

I think you may be right Tinker06

I've bought the estoril blue car from ml....you need to check the relevant websites everyday to check new cars on the market

[KENZ]

Love them to bits. Nothing like it. Unmistakeable M for sure.

[bluepony]

I'm going to hold out! There is possibly one that has just come up....
I'm sure it will be worth the wait. The one I drove way back in '98 is still fresh in my mind.
