Afternoon All,

So that is the deposit paid on a 2007 Z4M Coupe, at 89k with a full SH and a load of receipts.

It is standard apart from: Stubby BMW aerial, rear tints and lowering springs. The garage took it in as a part Ex against a Jag. Did some minor remedial work (MOT, Cup holder, Front DS Brake shield and Brake lines)

The front bumper was not refitted properly, so he knocked off £250, and that was the most he would budge.

Insurance is half the price of my GTD commuter, but tax is almost double.

Car is due an inspection 1, and some new rear tyres (MOT Advisory)

I plan to do the following straight way:

Inspection 1 and have the lower cam shells replaced as a precaution. I have read a lot about them on the S54 engine.

Swap out to CSL 182" alloys.

Cost:
alloys £500
2 x Rear tyres £250
INS1 and Cam bearings £150

Questions:

Are my prices realistic for service at an Indi?
The allows at 18 inch, are staggered: 8 front and 8.5 at the rear?

Pictures attached reg is YK07OZE, previously based in Yorkshire if anyone is knows with the car, or previous forum person?

My Z4M inspection 1 was £800 at BMW, and Inspection 2 was £1200.
They have to measure and shim the valve lifters, I would think £150, even at an indy, is far too low. let alone doing crank bearings
Sorry, £1500 for ins 1 and cams (ins1 400 to 500, and 1k for cam bearing replacement.
