Thanks guys. It wasn't supposed to be a 'sympathy' thread, though!

I lost my mother a couple of years ago, I’m know how you feel.

Condolences.

So I think we may be on the lookout for another very soon. I am going to look at the G29 aswell, but think they are still a bit expensive for a 'summer toy'.

It would have to be an N20, in either of the whites, or VO, or possibly Melbourne Red.
I wondered about the G29, but paying an ongoing subscription for things like adaptive suspension and heated steering wheel put me right off.

I have just read that BMW have changed their mind on the subscription model, even though Audi are about to introduce it. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/car ... d-BMW.html

Another good reason to buy an older car IMO

About £25k. Too much. Just thought, they are all autos so that is out. She won't drive an automatic!
Likewise, mine wont either

So the wife doesn't drive, is that an issue?

Sorry for your loss Mr Pondrew. Sad news.

It is if it's her car

I think the Z4 will have to go on a back burner for now.
I am thinking of binning out the daughter's Mini (worth sweet FA) and buying something that I can use as well as her to learn in. We only have one useful car at the moment, the Mazda, which the wife uses daily. I have a half-stripped Z3 in the garage which is obviously no use and a knackered Mini. Not the best collection of motors at present.

Do you need advice on how to search for a new second hand car?

[/quote]Fair enough, I concede she will have to drive it on special occasions at least.
