Don't get me started on that plan -I've had too many sleepless night! :rofl: :poke:
I must be lucky she does not care what I drive, her car is 4 x the cost of my zed so she really cant say jack to me about the ZED - the only thing I get is that its a posh car to which she gets the and your s cost 4 times more so what the hell you on about.

She won't drive it either so its bloody great :thumbsup:
My wife doesn’t care about my cars either! It’s my own indecision that keeps me awake wondering if I should trade up or not.

Mine won’t drive the Z either.

Now you know that the G29 is a great car and values on 35iS are strong so if you are going to do it now is the time - mind its still a great car if decide to keep it.

Yeah its the long bonnet and arse on the floor feeling :D

I‘ve just asked mine why she won’t drive ii and she says that she agrees, the long bonnet and arse on the floor! She’s happy enough as a passenger - unless I’m on the Autobahn :D

I’ve still got the idea of a G29 going around in my head - I would need a full specced up M40i a my current car has all the toys available at the time. I haven’t been on the BMW page for a while but I suspect circa £52k less my cars residual £‘s

It rained on the freshly waxed car last night and it was good to see the beading on the roof!

yep - she wants t drive something high up or a little higher up - she is quite happy as a passenger though.

Thats the issue £52k all up is a fair chunk and it is it any better than your car in reality?
