How much should I ask for this gem? 2008 Z4M Coupe with only 35K miles
As part of a new year's resolution to adopt a minimalist lifestyle, and with a heavy heart, I have decided to part with my dream car. I have not followed the Z4M market for the last couple years and wanted to do some homework before officially offering her for sale. Your input is appreciated. About the car: 2008 Imola Red Z4M Coupe with carbon trim and extended leather interior (1 of only 3 for that year). Car was garaged its entire life and is in pristine condition. Never raced or tracked, only driven on nice days and never seen salt.

$35K if you want to move it relatively fast, $37K-$40K if you’re willing to wait 6-8 month for the right buyer.
I’d pitch it for $37K and wait, since this is probably going to the worst time to sell. Unless you live in SoCal or somewhere in Florida where “winter” is just a slightly cooler Fall.

I feel like this is closer to a $40k car. Find another one in the country with that low mileage, the right options on the inside and the last model year produced.
Will obviously take the right buyer. List it for $20k and you'll have 100 buyers in the first week. List is for what it's worth to someone willing to pay for rarity of the package and it may take some time. GLWS! |

I agree with robertm - this is a $40k car easily IMHO. Extended leather is a HUGE plus IMHO, partly because of its rarity, but mainly because it's just a very nice feature to have - and hardly anybody has it. Carbon leather trim is also a huge plus. It's also a non-nav car. Eric @ EAG told me recently that non-nav cars fetch a $4k premium over nav-equipped cars. That sounds like a stretch to me, but then again I'm not surprised as I personally wouldn't own one with nav, it's an immediate disqualifier for me.
When I was in the market last October if I'd seen your car listed at $40k I'd have been on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. I got lucky and found a Space Gray '08 with 34k miles, also non-nav & carbon leather, but without extended leather, with an ask price of $38k, listed right here at zpost.com. I offered $34k after some discussion with the owner - it had paintwork on the driver's door from a minor collision so that was a bit of a downer. But the work was done perfectly and I'm more than happy with my purchase. Compare your car to this one at EAG - Eric is asking $39,900, and it has 9k more miles, a bunch of paintwork, and needs more - the bumper needs refinishing, and the windshield is quite beaten up. The front bumper has also been drilled for a license plate, and yours apparently has not - also highly desirable if that's true. http://enthusiastauto.com/qsearch/?i...orm_display=51 Looks like it's finally sold. It's been there since at least last October. There's also this one with only 23k miles for $46k, but a far less desirable spec than yours IMHO: http://enthusiastauto.com/qsearch/?i...orm_display=51 So yeah, $40k all day long for yours. Is inspection 1 done yet? If not I'd get that done before putting it up for sale, as well as get a PPI done along with that service, so that you can present that to a prospective buyer and get maximum $$ for a turnkey gem. Good luck!

Final comment - BaT (bringatrailer.com) was mentioned and I think that's a very viable option for selling. They've moved a number of M coupes recently and the nicer ones have done quite well. Their auction feels are low ($99 to the seller and a capped low premium for the buyer) and the community there is very helpful in moving the auctions along. Check it out, read their terms, see what they're all about...

Let us know when you decide how to proceed. I want to follow its sale. Aim high! Bone stock and with that spec is bound to win somebody over, especially if they're set on Imola. Money isn't as important when a car checks every box on your wish list. Good luck!

Back on topic -- on the surface this looks like the nicest example I've seen in quite some time. Hang onto it for another month or so and let the weather warm up, then ask the big dollars already suggested here. Good luck! |

A minimalist life sounds pretty damn good, but I love these cars too much... even they are money pits
Good luck with the sale of that gorgeous car OP, I think what everyone said sounds about right. This one will definitely go to a nice home.

Hello NotAJock!
Absolutely beautiful car. I've been waiting patiently all day to be verified for the forum so that I could contact you. Did you take those pics up on I-64 East heading towards Charlottesville? I am a Harrisonburg resident. If you don't mind me asking, how serious are you about selling your car? I have been looking for a Z4 M Coupe for the last few months. |

Yes the decision has been made. I am working on incorporating the advice I received on this thread and doing a couple more things to the car before putting up the listing. P.S. That picture was taken at an overlook at Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.

Is this the very last Z4M Coupe? I remember that the last one built was Imola Red and was for sale at a BMW dealer in Charlottesville a few years ago.

I just happen to live around that area. If the guy you saw was driving in a civilized manner then it was me. Otherwise I don't know what you're talking about .
