Missing my z4.

After selling my coupe last year I'm really missing my z now. Started looking at buying a roadster, getting the feel for the market, but I will probably have to sell one of the bikes first. The 240 coupe is a great car but theres just a little bit of magic that the z4 had missing in the 240.

Interesting one, - wanting another Z4..

After already having a Coupe though and as your looking at Roadsters, - If I were you, I might be looking around at a few Z4MR's & this little gem, might tempt you

Best of luck with your quest

Yes I have seen that but don't know if I want a M again with the high costs, I was thinking a clean late 3.0 manual. Plenty of time to browse though.

Interesting how many people seem to miss having a Z.

I suppose if you don't want to pay M tax the next best option is a facelift 3 litre.

Anyway enjoy browsing - until you find the right one.

Sounds like you need to buy the available Alpina Phil. //M performance at 3.0 running costs and top down motoring too

I hate to do it, but I have to agree totally with Alan on this one.

Plus you could be on to a solid return too.

Happy hunting.

That definitely sounds like a great option! Shame there was never an Alpina Coupe.

Why ruin an Alpina

The Si roady is a great option , so little money & minimal running costs & they do feel lithe & punchy plus almost easy when driven back to back with a M roadster .
Will never quite match the charisma & character of the Z S54 though

unlikely to feel the hairs go up on a Sunday morning when pulling off the drive but they do enough to entertain .

Yes, wont be needing it for speed and outright performance, will keep the 240 for that.

For some reason the SMG was never available on the Si

i have had 3 E86 Si with the stock autoboxes & they suit to perfection

never feel lethargic & sport button down off the line they are lightning fast to illegal speeds
