Well I stopped for lunch there and turned on the TV. An old episode of Top Gear had just started, featuring the new Z4 (then!... yes the E89), 12 years on and it still looks good! 8)

I remember that episode. No Zeds were injured in the making of that episode.

Yes I saw it too. Hamster and Clarkson agreed they'd buy one at the time!

There was an old top gear on today from 2009 with Jezzer and Hamster doing the "cool wall". They were going to put the E89 in "cool" but as May was talking about changing his Boxster for one, it went in seriously uncool. Both Jezz and Hamster said they rated them, though.

There were a few disparaging remarks about the "old Z4" :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I remember Clarkson saying if it was to be the last car he ever owned he would be more than happy. No bad comments at all.

Got to be without RFTs though surely? :thumbsup:
