Gone : (
So, after a week of debating and heart v head decisions, my car has finally gone
Collected this morning, and now en route to BMW. One final shot of it leaving - just glad it was torrential rain so it didn't look as good!
Its been a fantastic experience owning this car, and I've loved every minute of the 27 months worth of ownership. If anyone thinks they want to get one of these - do it. You won't regret it. It really hit me last night as I was cleaning it out, but its done now.
So, on with a car search. My sensible choices have changed a little but going for practicality for a while, and probably going to get an X5. Won't be the same, but looking forward to the search.
I'm gonna miss this car - but will cherish the memories!!!

Re: Gone : (
You definitely made the right choice Senwar - I'm glad you went through with it.
Let's just hope the X5 is good! (I presume you're spending a lot less on one?)

Will your lovely Z4MC be gracing the forecourt of a BMW dealership in the near future then Senwar?

Now - Maserati Gransport with many mods. Sounds incredible.

Re: Gone : (
Thanks for the comments all.
Yes, it was/has been a gutting experience, that I expect will hit me more come the weekend when I don't have my blast mobile available.
pvr - yep. we've had flash floods in Sheffield again goddam it. My mrs got drenched walking about 3 feet from her car to the front door when she got home.
IK - my budget for the X5 has increased now, although will still be a cheaper option than my M.
Ian_Mac - the car was taken to Harold Wood BMW, Romford yesterday. I think they may have someone lined up though.
outrun - yes possibly interested - will PM you.
Will definitely stick around. Its a good forum, and good people. I still use the TT forum 4 years after selling my TTR!
