I am considering purchasing a Z4 2.5I Manual

with only 62 000km on the clock, is why the dealership "thinks"it can raise the price.

as everyone else says:
start with the average book price based on year model = R100k
then add the value added features:
1) such as FSH
2) very low KM's
3) overall condition
4) extra's such as GPS nav etc

I would expect the upper limit should be around the R115 region for a pristine example
Price can be dependent on supply and demand

Ja, just to continue - not a Z4 hater - I have owned one for 2 years now. The only thing is that the 2.5i pre LCI roadster is one of the least desirable models.

Just to add to the above - I would avoid the nav, the cars screen is horrible (pixelated and old as fuck) and at this point the GPS in your phone is miles better - get one of those phone holders ubers use - that's what I go with. So for me nav basically means nothing on a car this age.

Big ticket items like brakes and a coolant system refresh will likely need to go onto the car soon - another reason to get a higher mileage car as a lot of the servicing is not just mileage, but also time, dependent.

Millage is irrelevant on those cars. Biggest mistake you will make is to overlook one with some higher millage and anal maintenance vs a low millage one with only 3 oil changes in 10 years.

No matter what you buy get a mate with INPA or any of the other coding software and have a look at the roof counter see how many times it was opened.

2.5 motor is a good one, infact any M54 motor is just dandy, cheap to maintain, enough grunt and reliable as hell.

And no it does matter how neat is is if they are asking more for book go find another one to buy,
