Thanks for the heads up. I'll go down to my servicing dealer and run it by them. This might put a wrench in the deal.

I'd agree with everyone else, find out why it has only 113 miles, and if it checks out and you like roadsters, you will be very happy with the car.

I also thought it could have been a Dealer Sample that this importer bought.

I am confused as you said it was a silver/ red combination and that is what we see in the YouTube video. However the build sheet you attached says it is Frozen grey/ black or is that TAZ007's build?

$100 for the 3 year scheduled maintenance sounds more than reasonable.

Why would a dealer sell a car with such low mileage at auction when I believe that is still considered new and covered with the original warranty on less than 300 miles?

It would be nice if the included maintenance transfers. Personally I don't place too much value on it (maybe a few hundred dollars) since all the car should need during the coverage period is oil changes.

GL and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

Question for you current 2021 owners.
Before I ask the dealer, what mats, cargo netting, tools, etc. are included?
Often these items MIA in used vehicles.

Thanks!

I had a new 2021. No mats, no nets (stole the net out of my Audi TT) other than the net behind the seats.

You will change the mats anyway. Get something that protects the floors better. Here are mine

The Z4 OEM all weather rubber mats were already listed on my build sheet as a $110 option. My salesman has thrown in the OEM all weather mats in the past and because they had picked up this car from another dealer they were already included as part of the build.

To make it up to me he opened up the apparel shop in the showroom and gave me some goodies.

As mentioned the cargo net is behind the seats as well as a really small net on the side of middle console where the passenger sits.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I'll have to make sure the spare/jack along with mobility kit
are there also.
I'll order the rubber mats as those aren't shown on the build.

When I bought mine, the selling dealer let me take car to the BMW dealer 10 miles away for inspection. The BMW dealer in our area (Erhard BMW in Bloomfield, MI), performed inspection for free! (at that time) One other note, it was $100 to transfer the coverage and it does not include windshield wiper changes which are covered for the 36 month warranty up to one per year. This was not an issue as vehicle was a very good price at the time.

NCDMV knocks off the new car sales tax base by the amount of the trade.

The 2020 Z4 at the dealer was a twin of mine except for the interior color, mine is black other one is red.

BTW have the same Z4 mats as Kwajtrader
