I have a solution.

Thanks for all the comments

Sooooo the consensus is, stick with the roadster

Does anybody know the owner of the white 3.0Si owner in the UK?

I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a spray/wrap job but would end up costing so much to have it done to a standard I would be happy with so wouldn’t be worth while.

Maybe I’ll just text drive a 3.0Si and see how much the power tempts me.....

We'll look forward to the pics of your purchase as you'll not want to drive 4 pot again and will get the 3.0 SI.

You’ve got a thumbs up from me

Power will be a nice upgrade and I’ve always preferred the lines of the coupe to the roadster. In my opinion you should test drive any 3.0si coupe and then make up your mind. Mechanically it’ll be the same, unless I’m wrong and alpine actually adds more to the BHP

If I could go SMG & coupe I would.

It’s not just the power. Really is a sweet engine - one of the best ever straight sixes, I reckon.

Mate do it, Just do it.
I will even take you to pick one up as long as it's not Ireland again

What % do you have the top down? I don't think you would miss it all that much...
Or keep both

You’d have fun shifting that on.

Just make sure you don't buy something too expensive. So you can save a squillion quid to buy mine when I'm done with it.

Use the force Jingle, stay away from the dark side. Or the interlagos and silver side for that matter.
Nah, when it's times up it's times up. Shoot the old Sheepdog and move on.

For me, two years ago was this.

In two years time it may be home improvements. You just can never tell what's around the corner.

Good buy. Just a bit leggy

I think it had 114,000 miles on it?

I don't think the coupe's suit white very well.

But hell, go for a 3 litre either way.

Low mileage but pricey.

SE and the adverts calling it a Z4M? Way too expensive

Since when has 89,000 miles been low mileage?
