Hello to you all
Hello all
I’ve been lurking for a little while. Still don’t have a car yet but have an eye out scouring the usual places. I may put a wanted add out there if nothing turns up soonish. Looking for a coupe if I can run to it. 8k may just get me something?
All the best, Ady.

Hello to you all
Welcome along. There were a few higher mile coupes for sale a month or so ago … you should get one circa 100k-120k miles for £8k I would have thought

Hello to you all
Welcome to the forum Ady.
Coupe is a great choice - but then I may be slightly biased!
Don't worry about higher mileage ones. My 2nd 3.0Si had done over 90K when I sold it and I've got the same N52 engine in my 3 Series that has gone past 120K and they both still performed really well.
If it helps you only need to make one more post and you'll be able to send PMs.

Hello to you all
Hi Ady, welcome to the forum, what's wrong with a convertible. Cheaper and wind in your hair Good luck with your search.
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.

Hello Mike. I guess my budget would by a decent roadster, and I do like them, but I’ve fallen for the coupe. Maybe I need to view and drive both. I’ll see how it goes. Like I say, no rush, the right car will come along at some point.

Hello to you all
Hi Ady, Welcome to the Forum. I have an e86 on 135,000 miles. Has covered 45,000 trouble free miles in my ownership. £8k should be able to get you one near the 100k mark. I love my Coupe and have never regretted buying it, even after nearly 6 years of ownership I still look back as I walk away from it. Occasionally (on hot sunny days) I wonder if the soft top would have been better, but I just turn off the A/C, put the windows down and listen to that engine. A true drivers car that never fails to entertain. Good luck with your search.
Montego blue 2006 BMW Z4 coupe 3.0si with black interior, ZHP, Whippy, 12mm front/16mm rear spacers on BBS 108's wrapped in Michelin PS4's. :driving:Brand new Pierburg water pump fitted at 101k after failure (should have done it at 100k)

Hello to you all
Thanks for the message. Hoping to get under 100000 miles. Let’s see what turns up. The right car is the right car, mileage isn’t the be all and end all. There’s a 95k car just turned up on eBay. 8k no offers. Right colour and interior combo for my tastes too. I’m away for the next couple of weeks though. If it’s still there when I return I will go and view.
