I don't suppose anyone would like to upgrade to a BMW Z3 2.8 1997 vintage? Just run-in at 148,000 miles and full service history. She's been mine for over 15 years and I've just bought a 2013 E89 Z4 35i with 38k miles. Have I done the right thing? Which car should I sell?

I see you’ve bought an e89 with no windbreak fitted, thus rendering it worthless.
I’ll give you £100 for it :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

Only you can tell if you have done the right thing!

I think you probably have, but your Z3 does look great. Maybe keep both if that is an option. :lol:

But if you do decide to sell your Z3 you could always try putting an advert on here - it's free after all.
Coupes because stunning!

I have had both. My choice would definitely be to keep the E89. It is a much more civilised and comfortable car. Than the Z3. Yet it is pretty quick in 3 litre guise. Then again others will have a different view and recommend the Z3. In the end it depends what you want from your car and what your priorities are. Good luck in making the best decision for you. Let us know what you decide. :roll:
