..help regarding Z4 M needed..

[Ecc0]

..hi guys..im in process of buying Z4 m, 3.2 , 6 inline (E85, 2006) coupe....i went to see car and from outside its all looking fine, few scratches at front bumper (minor)..point is, car looks ok to me but i have no experience with such vehicle, at extend where i can determine is it ok or not to buy...anyway, here are some data I know so please let me know what would be most important thing to check over..car has 56000km on the clock and owner asking 280K (negotiable), so im not sure what would be fair price for such vehicle, considering that its mechanically ok ??

..since i have got insights that this car was maybe involved in accident and therefore, geometry may be off (with such cars, once hit..bye bye proper geometry), and yet me myself cant find single trace of car been hit, i have decided to bring it to oficial service center for detailed check, for just about anything, to make sure that its not hit or anything like that, as well as all other checkups I could think of..is there any other tip i should know for such task??

Is this the white coupe? in motortrader? been trying to sell that for ages. Is it original colour, one tell is that if there is no sticker at driver side it has been repainted? knock on the parts which you suspect is not right and try put a magnet and see if there is bondo? See if any bolts or rivet points has moved? look for parts that look much newer than others.

My opinion would be if the frame/chassis is still all right and it passes service centre check, then ask for a better price. Engine wise the s54 is rock solid.

..thank you very much MRsamdol...yes, car is from motortrader, precisely, this one http://www.motortrader.com.my/Cars/...id=6ee6d1a5-0f5b-4923-926c-750ad803d280&css=y
..i havent seen M emblem back (I guess it should be there)..tested doors, frame, its all look fine(to my untrained eye) and aligning perfectly fine and soft..only minor scratch at front bumper on left side..car is a bit dirty inside but its just dust so its ok..and engine..yes..s54 model is real jewel and i have read about it a lot..reason for all this is fact that i realized after knocking few doors around that, surgery i wanted to do with my current Z , going to be very difficult if not, impossible to do here, so I have decided to get Z4 M and supercharge it to get what I want, so i came across this car..but if anyone here know some other vehicle, before i close deal (eventually) ill be happy to take a look (preferably with softtop/removable top M model).
