Only comment from me is that most of the kit listed is standard, apart from:
Satnav
Logic 7
Heated seats
PDC

Ask them to demonstrate the "front fog lights" to you...

its top end of the market for an 06 car without any manufactures warranty, resonable spec though lacking cruise.. based on what i just sold mine to the trade for, there will be quite abit of margin built into the price! might be due a Inspection 1 in a few thousand so factor that in...

I bought a Golf 4Motion from that dealership last Autumn. Very good to deal with, went to great lengths to sort out a couple of problems with the car pre-delivery, and generally very professional.

And... I'm 99% sure that that Z4MC was there in October last year (I remember talking to the sales chap about the unusal leather colour) so they might be willing to do a deal.

The first owner of the car was BMW - all were YF - maybe it's worth asking BMW Customer Service whether it was a press car or management car...

I test drove it in January. Its a very tight car and in very good condition, but the dealer wasn;t interested in any sort of deal, the price was the price ( incidently reduced now from 23k) and they only offered 3 month warranty. Its the right colour combo, but having looked at others i felt it was overpriced for its age, though has good mileage. I ended up with a newer model, same colour and much better spec (extended leather, power mirrors, etc etc) for £2k less and from a main dealer with a full 12 month BMW warranty...

I have noticed this one, did he like it and make an offer?

dealer called me yesterday and said it was sold. i assume he did the deal.

much better spec?... c'mon, it's a fairly strong spec as is.

Yep bought and will pick it up during the week... So that's 2 Z4MC's and 1 M5 E39 down our little street. :-)

Good work. Do you know if he got anything knocked off the asking price after all?

[BensZ4MC]

I think he got a 1k off and a 12 month warranty included.

Amazing how after a while they'll negotiate, i'd prob have paid near £22k for it with a 12 month warranty back in Jan... well done to your mate tho! I'll look out for him....
