Thanks guys. It wasn't supposed to be a 'sympathy' thread, though! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/original.gif)

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I have just read that BMW have changed their mind on the subscription model, even though Audi are about to introduce it. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/car ... d-BMW.htmlDonDon wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:30 pmI wondered about the G29, but paying an ongoing subscription for things like adaptive suspension and heated steering wheel put me right off.Pondrew wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 12:59 pm Since selling the E89, my lovely wife has been missing it quite a lot. She is not happy that I, apparently, "made her sell it". I will admit that it had a certain charm for me too.
So I think we may be on the lookout for another very soon. I am going to look at the G29 aswell, but think they are still a bit expensive for a 'summer toy'.
It would have to be an N20, in either of the whites, or VO, or possibly Melbourne Red.

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

I think the Z4 will have to go on a back burner for now.
I am thinking of binning out the daughter's Mini (worth sweet FA) and buying something that I can use as well as her to learn in. We only have one useful car at the moment, the Mazda, which the wife uses daily. I have a half-stripped Z3 in the garage which is obviously no use and a knackered Mini. Not the best collection of motors at present.
