If I had the cash I'd be tempted, saw the M40i in White this afternoon and was very impressed, I wasn't a fan before seeing it in the flesh but I've changed my opinion!

To loose £25k in 2.5 yrs and 8k tho and probably the same on the a new one in another two or three years ?

Little look won't do any harm Ronk, get yourself down there!

Oh do have fun on Saturday, is it the M40i you’re driving? I’m booked for a drive Monday alas they only have the 2.0 as the demonstrator

That’s a brave man I can tell you!

I spoke to one of dealerships staff the other day and he said the car looks stunning!

Personally don’t think it’s going to be a great buy, not new anyway. The supra looks like the one to get, but 16 plate i8s are looking mighty tempting at this money aswell!

I don’t want a one with a tin hat or a 4cyl
For me, It has to be a wind in the bald patch and a big engine!

I do see the appeal of a convertible! Be interested how much of a move it is from the 35iS, on paper they looks pretty evenly matched but we’ll see how the looks stack up in real life. I’m a little bit miffed that they’ve allowed the Z4 to lag behind its counterparts AGAIN though. Why won’t they put all the 3 series equipment in them? Where’s surround view, hud, active cruise etc etc.

Tuners will be over this like a rash given the US variant pushes out 380 ponies due to lesser emissions standards ... & then am sure will tweak it to well over 400...

Nope, no wind up Jembo, and it’s a whopping 28k cheaper than the Boxster GTS I’ve got on order...
Which you would get back at 3 yrs when you get the itch to switch

3 years?

Pfft it wouldn’t last 3 months, and 2 of them would be sat in the garage whilst trying to sell it..

As long as I’ve got a hole for an arse,this ain’t ever gonna happen..
