Hi all
After opinions of the following cars as a replacement for my wife’s e89
Please vote for one of the above, these are the only ones she’s interested in, strangely she’s only interested in the convertible in the z4 format
I’m interested in your views as obviously at the moment we can’t get to view any cars or text drive etc.
If you’ve had any of these or driven either I’d be interested in your views opinions
Thanks everyone

Would be the 3.0 v6 s
Sadly couldn’t justify the cost of the v8😕

😂😂
I knew you would vote my wife’s current favourite 👍
Have you ever driven one of the new cayman?
I would have chosen a 997 but she wanted to go as new as possible for our budget and a newer version was just way out of budget sadly.

We weren’t looking at that new for her budget, looking around 32-36k max

No one interested in the z4 m40i?
I thought it might be a little more popular 🤔

The Cayman 918 is such a great looking car no matter the criticism of being 4pot i f it was choice of the two cars even with the F type being a V6 i couldn't see me taking that over the Porsche .
I had a good nosy round the latest F type 5.0R a few weeks back & what can i say :roll: it caught my eye 8) a lot of stimulation for the eyes but soon wandered away to look at the Sportbrake XF estates .

To be fair the M40i is a hell of lot of car now at £30k... 1-year-old and hardly any miles, it really looks like the best choice now. I like that it's rare on the roads and even the looks are winning me round. In the right colour combo, this is a cracking daily driver option to my mind.

I did not think I would be saying that 6 months ago :rofl:

It has the best tech, the best warranty, the best daily driver option.....ugly as sin, but so is Joachim Pheonix and I loved him in the Joker.

A key question is how would you be buying it, cash, pcp or hp...? This makes a big difference in the total cost of ownership, which is a key factor in these things.

Got to agree, the bmw isn’t the best looking thing, it does however offer a car in warranty though which could be a good thing.
I think she needs to test drive several different cars to get an idea.
It would be a cash sale, I don’t see any other benefits to purchasing?
