We’ve owned x3 595 / 695’s and x2 500’s. A 595C is a hoot. Took ours to France complete with two kids and camping kit! Intelligent packing required. Enjoy the Italian number and we may see you back here next rotation

Women are complex aren’t they, mine wanted a sports car so bought a nice 2.5 E85 but she still wants the Yaris because it’s better for shopping, but never mind I like the Z4 and we use it a lot in summer, you don’t have to understand women, just keep them smiling.

Tell me about it!
I just bought mine another E89 as she 'missed the last one so much'. She uses my F31 much much more, as it's "more comfortable and easier to get in and out of". :headbang:

Admittedly an M-Sport E89 on 19s with RFTs is not the most compliant ride ever, but still! :?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Yes my wife likes the E85 but won’t drive it, she has a focus CC and likes the massive boot. I’ve hinted at a BMW 3 or 4 series convertible but she’s not interested. But she does like red seats so I need to find one with red seats :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Yep, complex creatures indeed are our ladies. My missus has a 3.0D M-sport X3, it’s virtually as fast as my Z4 despite being a big old barge. She loves it and happily charges about in it everywhere, but won’t drive the Zed as it’s “too low”. Still it means my alloys remain pristine :D

Mine detests my Z4! refuses to go in it, calls it the stupid car! It's not an age thing either as she's 13 years younger than me (me mid 50s). Seriously fell out with me when I bought it 9 years ago, now I'm getting a repeat dose, as I've just bought another stupid Z4 car! :thumbsup:

My wife likes my Z4 and enjoys our little runs out in it but yes she quite often calls it 'a stupid little car'. Of course she is right really, it is.
