Is this a good deal?

Hey all,

Things are finally settling down in my life and I’m looking to rejoin the M community. I previously owned a gorgeous Z4M Coupe and loved everything about it. I’m looking for something that will bring me similar pleasure to own while also being able to share the experience with my small family.

I recently came across an Austin Yellow M4 convertible with 10k miles on it for 50k and enjoyed driving it (link below). The car was previously owned by an older couple who barely drove it. To that end, it’s immaculate and virtually brand new. It’s on the high side for a 2018, but the milage and condition can’t be beat. It will be used for drives up and down the coast and into the mountains in summer and will be garage kept.


I’d appreciate thoughts from the community as I consider purchasing it.

For that price is fair with such low mileage I purchased my E93 from this dealer.

You better buy before someone else swoops in and purchases it, from up under you. Do get a PPI.

Thanks to those who responded. It’s now sitting in my driveway with the top down. Getting ready to drive it up to the top of Mt. Diablo, a local mountain here in the Bay Area!

I’ll take better pics later, but thanks again. Now, gotta figure out which ECU flash to do 😁.

Congrats on the new to you low mileage f83!

I’d look into Epic Motorsports for tuning your s55. Randy’s tuning strategies includes what BimmerWorld and Epic learned from the factory-built f82 GT4 s55 race engine tuning. Randy is well known in the BMWCCA CR and has some of the most powerful race-tuned BMW engines.

Thanks so much for the recommendation especially given the proliferation of tunes on the market!
