You are absolutely right, but people with disposable income for this type of purchase are not always looking at the long term cost of ownership.Yep and you would need a fair bit more disposable dosh to keep one on the road.
I must confess that I bought my Z3 based on looks alone, but I now have a better understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. How many people make the same mistakes I made, though?
Just reading through an old book of Z3 Road tests and the statement from BMW of the time that is much repeated throughout the book is apparently only 4% of people purchased a new Z3 with performance being the number one reason..The looks and open top was the highest in over 70%.
The M Z3's are a very specialist car..If you have a pyramid the 1.9's are at the bottom with the M's at the tip with the 2.0,s, 2.2s, 2.8.s & 3.0s inbetween (I think the coupe are maybe higher than the tip on reflection
)
There are fewer potential purchasers for an M than say a 1.9 because of its higher value and what it is. Good luck with the sale but the reality is that if I wanted an M I'd have found yours for £18,000 by now and any car is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it..It maybe that if you hang on somebody new may come along that wants one and is prepared to apy the full asking price?

It's a nice enough looking car, and will show the OP whether auction is an option.
BTW, did anyone notice the photo that is of a different car?
Do you mean the MOT certificates showing 5559SM? That I suspect was a cherished number plate and the car was reverted to the original number. The VIN number in all certificates is the same.

No, it was a picture of the suspension. Image 168.
Is that £16750 plus buyers fees ? Meant to watch that auction I was on holiday.
