Nice but out of my pay grade :(
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.

The V10 has horrendous reliability issues, and the E63 is pug ugly IMHO :o

    The problem with the M6 is that it's party piece is acceleration from 100+ mph. At lower speeds it won't feel any faster than your Alpina, so unless you're moving to Germany it's a bit pointless.

    I'd still have one though, in a heartbeat :rofl: just not a convertible because convertibles look wrong with more than 2 seats...

    Love the look of it but what more is it going to give in reality to the Zed - yes the kids can fit in the back with the roof down until they complain its too windy.

    Indeed the Mercedes E350 with the clever aero foil on the windscreen is the only four seater convertible I’ve owned that was comfortable in the back with the top down at anything above 30 mph, unfortunately it handled like a tank.

    Agree, I drove one and the kids were ok in the back but as you say not exactly a sporty drive but then again meant to be a cruiser I guess

    The Z4 would stay. As I do so little mileage these days and have a sensible car for trips with the family anyway, I can justify the insanity of it. :D

    Just for sh*ts and giggles I asked what that dealer would give in PX for my E92. £9k!! :o :o

    Alpina B3 trade values are based on the equivalent 335i. Mine has 43,000 miles, full BMW history, 1 previous owner, has had both turbos done and a new HPFP and is totally spotless inside and out.
