Based upon current asking prices I would broadly agree with Flimper (maybe 1k lower)

However, this is what What Car Valuation gives:

BMW Z4 Coupe 3.2 M 2dr 2007 (07) 2,700 miles
Dealer £24,865
Private £23,995
Part exchange £20,995
Trade £20,280
Cost new £42,245

I'd be inclined to suggest something a little less optimistic.

All depends on spec of course but £25k is about your ball park I should think.

If that was advertised at £25k it would be snapped up in seconds. Privately I would expect to see that go for 27/28k, Maybe 29k at a dealers. 32k at Hexagon biggrin

+1, have heard similiar accounts from the guys on Z4-forum.

That mileage makes the car worth the extra. £26,500 is a very good price privately.

Having been in the motor trade on & off for over 35 years, my humble opinion is that you would be VERY lucky to get much more than £23,500 privately. Not many people want to pay £405 Road Tax plus extortionate BMW ///M servicing prices just to keep up the BMW factory warranty. Never mind ridiculous insurance premiums & the Saturday night scrotes who will key the car.....

I bought a 15,000 mile Z4MR through the BMW AUC programme in January 2009 for £18,400. If you believe the absolute claptrap spouted on the ///M forums then you appear to be sitting on a goldmine! People are peculiar. Put a set of CSL wheels on the car (which BMW should have done from the outset IMHO) & you can just name your own price - & be inundated with viewers. With standard wheels you don't have much hope - & certainly not at a ridiculous £28K+.

Best of luck to find a "City Trader" on his upper's...

I dont understand the complaining of tax, servicing costs etc just on M cars, look at Mitsi Evo's for example - servicing every 6 months / 4500miles, highest tax band as well, insurance is more than the Z4M (for me it was, half as much again!), mpg wont be any better and likely worse, it goes through 4 tyres rather than 2 (admit similar in price due to sizes mind) etc.
I guess if your doing alot of miles a year than the M wont be cheap to run but doing 5-8k it wont be that bad when compared to alot of high end group 20 performance 4WD / RWD cars.

Totally disagree. Enthusiasts will not give a fig about the £405 road tax and M servicing prices, I know I don't. This isn't a regular car and won't be bought by a regular car buyer.

I do very few miles a year in my Z4MR and i dont care about the road tax either, my other car costs £35 PA tax.

Z4Ms are a lot of car for the amount of money you will pay for one, they are few and far between, people also forget that the coupe was cheaper to buy than a roadster too.

As to the CSL wheels, how much more insurance will that cost when you declare your car is 'Modified, Z4Ms were designed with the wheels they have fitted as standard surely ?
Also most Ms are now heading out of BMW warranty and can be serviced at a local Indi.

january 2009 was a very different climate for the second had car market than today though

a guy on the z4-forum just sold his 08 plate IL car with many more miles for just under 28K

i would try it a 28.5k and see what you get, does it not have sat nav then? this seems to be important to resale, do u have standard wheels still? the CSL's fetch good money second hand... or may be part ex for standards?

OP is talking about Z4M Coupe not the roadster. If you can find one of them in the AUC system with 15k miles for £18k, I'll give you a can of tartan paint to decorate it with.

This might be of interest to you:

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

You'll see there's a 2007(07) with 16k miles went through at auction for a touch short of £25k, so I think Raify has got it bang on. And this corresponds with the values on the BMW AUC site.

sttingMike (or whatever he's called this week) is out of touch.

Being in the motor trade for that long you'd think you'd know about the block exemption that lets you take your NEW car ANYWHERE for servicing and still keep the factory warranty.

Mine's not been to BMW for anything other than warranty work.

Are you not worried that may make your car harder to sell (privately or otherwise)? Don't get me wrong, I know as well as anyone that a good speccy is worth his weight in gold, but despite the ability of the local indi's up here, I've not had the balls to take my car to either and instead have found myself at the mercy of my local Offical Pillage Centre smile

Can you still purchase the official BMW M warranty after the 3yrs are up though? I thought the answer was no.
