My other car is a 2013 535d touring, brilliant car, comfy, fast and the boot is huge. Even when it's fully loaded you can barely tell, it's still quick.

With two young kids the z4 is pretty much redundant so I use it for the commute to work.

I was tempted to get a 996 or 997 as my only car then horror stories put me off, So I got the Zed Coupe for weekends and trips etc. Kept the GTD for my 500m a week return commute. Its a nice easy place to be in traffic, blasting up the M5 or A303. Might change it for a 330d Touring if I see a good one.

My boss did a full, very expensive, restoration of a tr6 a few years back. He ended up being invited for a track day where his car was hooked up with a dozen mics and the sound recorded for a car that featured in Grand Theft Auto 5 :D

Dead right Greg I have the Phoenix big bore 6 into 2 into 1 fitted to mine. It’s old school and sounds epic, wherever I go I get the thumbs up Bikers especially seem to love it

Wow that's a thing of beauty. By the looks of it it has undergone a nuts and bolt restauration?

Though in one of the pictures I see that it hasn't lost its english character :lol:

I almost went down the route of retro-modding a 240z. Really like the shape and its why I'm now looking for a Z4C.

That would have been an interesting project for sure, mines standard except for the fact I’ve put a set of triple 40’s on it and some Rota wheels, still have the originals with restored hub caps, best of luck with your Coupe search :driving: :thumbsup:

Yea I wouldn't touch yours as its too nice of a car as is.

I was looking for an older car with some work needed mechanical wise, as I would be stripping all the suspension and engine out for modern units.

They go for solid money once done, but I'd be doing it for keeps

Thankyou, it’s a good one and not one for modding as much a I do like the modded ones, it was a one owner until 2011 and only ever have the drivers side dog leg replaced, that’s the only place it’s been welded, it’s a keeper for me, I hope you get one modded :thumbsup:

I just got a 2015 Toyota Tacoma last month. I have been busy adding auto accessories to enhance its looks and performance. Right now, I am trying to figure out which off-road wheels are suitable for this truck.

Cool, you surely have a massive collection of cars. Are you planning to restore the red one? :driving:
