Goodbye after 9 yrs
9 years is impressive.
I've never got past 6 ish with a car - actually I haven't managed 9 years with a house yet.
Just curious, but what has replaced it? Have you joined Marlon and mr wilks on the "dark" side?

All the best with your next wheels. I had my Fiat almost 10 years. Got a feeling the Zed may beat that.
Oh and pics of this fine new beast if you will.

Occasionally a car gets under your skin & ceases to be just a car, my 3.0si was like that but the replacement 3litre e89 less so (maybe because of the major headache it caused almost straight away)
The 20i is simmering nicely, i may have it some time

The Mazda behind is our other car.No replacement sourced as yet as I am keeping an open mind.I can't afford one of those off the dark side unless I get a windfall.

I was having second thoughts after being out for a last run on Monday with the top down and the sun shining .
The 3.0 Z4 is really good value for money if you have a well looked after model.A hard act to follow unless you spend serious money.
