    I don't even know what that means TBH, just something from my youth (before the mid life crisis) :lol: :lol:

    I'm too old to be having a mid life crisis. The E85 is simply a fun car. :driving: :thumbsup:

    The coupes don't seem to have the same "perceived image". I think it's the convertible thing that can create the wrong impression to the ignorant. :roll:

    That's because the Coupe is simply perceived, by none Z4 owners, as just another hatchback, that happens to look mighty fine good. :wink:

    I wish I could remember whether I had a mid-life crisis. Do I come here often? :roll:

    It's just something for people to say, an ice-breaker if you like as Nictrix suggests. It really is a very old saying though. The true clue to a mid-life crisis is when you start running and if you then join a running club, you are definitely having an affair. :D
    I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

    Really?
    If I took up running I'd be too knackered for an affair!
