My main daily is an E82 123d, plenty powerful enough, will remap well, and is great on the motorway.

My Z is a hobby car. I have a 2010 Mazda 6 Sport diesel Estate which I have had a long time and done a fair few miles in. I will keep it unitil it falls apart as it is great for moving my Uni children and all their kit, the dog and trips to the dump etc. I still looks presentable when it gets cleaned up by me. Wife has a little Peugeot 208 1.2 but with 110bhp. It is quite surprising tbh. Has plenty of go for a small engine and keeps up with traffic on the motorway with nae bother. I don't commute so my Z is a total extravagance.

Our other car is a Mazda CX 5 GT Satnav +.2.0 petrol. The car is loaded with tech and is good to drive.If it has a fault it's a lack of low down torque.On steepish climbs you have to go down the box and keep the revs above 3500 rpm.

I used to own that car when I lived in Coventry. I sold it to someone that worked in Buckinghamshire and I think lived in the area. He put it on a private plate, but that's the plate that was on it when I owned it. I'm surprised it's not already remapped because he planned to do that.

We used to run a 330d X Touring MSport as our daily. It swallowed everything we needed it to. And was easy to drive especially on long journeys. We bought it new in 2017. But we began to get a bit jittery about the war on diesel and the possible consequence on resale value so we moved from the sublime to the ridiculous and bought a Toyota Prius as our runabout. There is, of course, no comparison in terms of driving pleasure. However, the Prius has averaged 72 mpg since we bought it and comes with far more toys than than the 330d, including, head up display, lane change warning, adaptive cruise control and self parking aids. There is a five year warranty and it’s cheap to tax. It is, without doubt, one of the easiest cars to live with that I have ever owned. So would I shell out for another BMW? I‘ll keep my Z for driving pleasure but there will be no more expensive dailies from a company which demonstrates such disregard for loyal customers. :roll:

The Z4 is actually my daily, but the below is my toy! (excuse the mess in the barn!)

Not actually on the road yet, but very close - I've been building it with my Dad as Cobras are his dream car and I couldn't resist.

It has a 5.9L V8 so should be pretty lively!

A Sprite of course..... Image

The sensible one is a Volvo XC70 - not the most exiting but does absolutely everything else.
