Really? I wonder how reliable these cars are especially as a DD

+1. If you like it--and it's a beauty--there should be no worries at 50K. Jump on it! No HPFP or wastegaste/turbo issues on these babies.

Finnegan is right on the money. This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned, right up there with my S2000. My previous car was a brand new 135i which had the fuel pump and injectors replaced twice. That drove me to the S54 powered Z4m. In the four years I have owned this car all it has needed was a new battery and alternator. Quite frankly I suspect the weak battery killed the alternator. I also replaced a belt as it was starting to get frayed but again i consider these regular maintenance items. Honestly were it not for the fact that my family is growing and I need the money to buy a house this car would not be going up for sale. These cars are just solid. The lack of complex computers, direct injection and hpfp make them ultra reliable. This car was my DD for over 3 years and never gave me a problem.

No problem. Just let me know when you are coming down and would like to see the car. I live in downtown Miami. Right across the street from the Miami Arena.

i have 54k, that's still low mileage for any car.

S54s run forever... nobody should be worried about maintenance or longevity with this engine. Especially since its clearly enthusiast owned by what (if the cost of the wheels is any indication) appears to be a no-expenses-spared type of owner.

I know of quite a few 200k+ S54 owners, there are plenty of them out there. Check out forums with lots of E46 M3 or Z3M guys and they will have lots of info for you. Particularly the S54 Z3M roadster guys seem to pile on the miles. I expect Z4 M roadster guys do the same, but the Z3 guys had a few years head start

When you BUY an S54 at such high miles its critical to get maintenance records. Maintenance for 50k-100k can be crucial. But at the low miles this car has, there really is not a huge risk of failed maintenance. Really at this mileage anything the previous owner missed or failed to do, you can do before it becomes a problem. Then it is up to YOU to keep records as the engine gets on in mileage. Buying an S54 at this mileage is a VERY safe bet. It should have had one valve adjustment done and be just getting ready for its next one (Every 30K). Will also be needing spark plugs soon (60K)

Trust me, at this mileage, the S54 is just getting broken in (seriously lol)

Good to hear. Once it's done, the lucky winner should stand up. Maybe another M in Orlando area?

[eunosracr]

Not this one Griff. Looks like it's headed up to DC.
