Classic Car Top 30 - Oct issue

Post by NC-ZC » Mon Aug 21, 2017 10:23 pm

Interesting to read Classic Cars magazine (Oct issue just out) has included Z4M Coupe as one of the 'Hot 30' - experts tip 2018's fastest growing classics from £15k upwards. Cars to buy now before prices move apparently. They say that in the current market £20k will buy a nice car but for a lower mileage example you'll be looking at up to £25k.

That's pretty cool, I'm a huge classic car fan and regular C&SC reader, nice to think these are almost considered classics after only 10 years!

The article finishes with saying that ... 'the Z4 or M forums tend to be a good place to start, with friendly advice and genuine enthusiasts on hand to steer you in the right direction' ..... this is certainly my experience :thumbsup:

Ha ha - about time Roadster owners got the hang of it, instead of recommending getting an angel grinder to my Coupe! :rofl:

No need for an angle grinder. You can borrow my can opener when I'm done with the baked beans. :D

Careful on the over run, a back fire, may sound cool, but could cause serious damage in a confined space. :wink:
