£21k for a 9k mile AUC car, surely a bargain??? Best colour too.

No sat nav but still super cheap eh. These could be below £20k in 6 months then I'll get one.

i certainly wouldnt buy it with that spec, my criteria was fully loaded car, even though these cars have dropped anyway, the big spec cars will always hold the value better. i think those goes for every car tbh.

Have been to see this car. Did not like the light grey interior. Think this car will be still for sale at Xmas and prob 19k. In very good condition. The way prices are going may go for M5 in Jan.

That car's been around for quite a while now, and they've reduced the price a couple of times. I can't understand why it's not selling as it seems excellent value.

I think the Z4M is a car that can get away with not having much in the way of optional equipment, it is after all a pretty raw sports car, and IMO such cars can do without stuff like sat nav and the like.

Has it had the early service???

It's a good few grand cheaper than any other AUC Z4M Coupe and that IMO could be the reason (although I don't actually know, just a guess).

Must have had the 1,200 mile service surely or couldn't be an AUC car?

agreed - im a big fan of fully-optioned cars but id do without it in a Z4M. Is a raw brute of a car!

given many have been spec'ed to prof nav, DSP, bluetooth, PDC, 6-cd and/or iPod, heated seats - unless it is an excpetional bargin - wait and get the lot - unless your beaten to it - as like others I've bought in last 2 months

Hmmm, I dunno about waiting and getting one - a number of things:

1. Only 587 were registered in the UK
2. The AUC web site has gone down to 1 page of cars for sale
3. Most owners view the cars as keepers - there is nothing in the price range which can touch them
4. The new Z4 might not have an ///M version, given how badly the recent one sold...

P.S. I am biased of course, but mine is a keeper so I don't really care...

Ayee..In general the prices will bounce back like the Z3M did. I was close to buying one many years ago but at the time i had never driven an M so plumped for the 3.0 litre model my local dealer was selling instead.

However the price is low due to it's spec. My last car was a poverty spec M3, the engine was superb but I missed the toys so I made sure I wouldn't go down this route again..

Their may be other reasons for the price. Poor paint job as a number of cars have left factory with very poor paint jobs this might be one??

Certainly mine's not got the orange peel effect that some owners are having to put up with on their new cars.

All BMW's lose shed loads of money Z4M is very good value!
