2nd Z4 in a couple of months - careful, or you'll end up like mr wilks on number 10!

I hope the collection all goes well. :thumbsup:

Much as I love my E86 I suppose an E89 may be a future option, so it would be interesting to hear how you rate the new one compared to your 23i.
Coupes because stunning!

Cheers,
I will draw up a comparison once I get it home.

Tomorrow will be 320 miles in the 23i followed directly by 320 miles in the 20i - should be good for a direct back to back comparison.

I just bought my first Z4 23i. Seller reconditioning the alloys so not driven in anger yet. I had to give up motorbikes so wanted something to give me adrenaline rush. Bro in law has a boxster and with roof down, acceleration and cornering was closest I’ve been to a bike. Needed a convertible. Notice quite a few bike lads in this forum.

Hi, yep the feeling of freedom with the roof lowered is quite bike like :thumbsup:

Yes the feeling of freedom with the roof down is quite bike like,but to get more of the bike feeling you need something more nimble and agile, Caterham anyone. :evil:
