- 3 litre Z3 pretending to be Italian exotica. Two previous E89 Z4s.
A 2.0l E85 and a 1.9 Z3. Combined value around £6-8k with the mileage (if they are good ones).
Personally wouldn't give £15 for both TBH.
Yep, if the Z3 is the 118bhp then both are the least desirable models of Z3 and E85. £6k for both on a good day.
Just scrolling ebay and the Z3 is on there for £1,999..

So you would presume that these 'competition' people are offering to buy cars advertised elsewhere IF the winner of their competitions want them?Just scrolling ebay and the Z3 is on there for £1,999..

That's a great business model. No upfront costs, not owning the prizes, just wait for the punters to give you their cash. If that is the way it works, surely this must be illegal in the UK?
Not sure, it was advertised after the competition ended so I guess they need to get shut for cash flow continuity.
There seems to be an influx of these competitions so I guess ticket sales always outstrip the overheads.

Another form of gambling. Gambling is big business.
Yes, hit some roads at speed into a ' blind over crest ' in the hope there's no speed camera toss pot handing out of his window!
The two cars are now listed on f book ! 
The advert for the Z4 says 2.2, but it's a 2 litre.

He's now updated the advert after I pointed it out on his messages!! The two cars are advertised at a much lower value than the competition 'valuation'. No wonder the winner took the cash.
