    New i4

    Hello, just paid the deposit on a Z4.

    Aston Martin?

    For £30k you can buy a really nice G29 M40i it's just a quick and and cost a lot less to run than an Aston which needs specialist servicing and deep pockets. Z4 can be serviced by any BMW dealer or independant.

    Are you looking for a M40i in the UK?

    Prices for the M40i is very strong currently, there are few advertised if you are thinking of selling do it now you will get a lot less in September when the season is over. Production is over new cars are not available, good low milage cars will hold value well

    G29 Roof Dye Refresh - Yes or No?

    I don't like to leave any soft top continuously wet in winter so mine is under the car port which keeps the worst of the sun off too, we use it year round.

    Misfire on cold idle - but goes away if I rev car for 20 seconds?

    Overall opinion.

    Fun car, you a buy a 6 cylinder E85 for £3or4k it's small agile most are manual you can hammer it around and have lots of fun at little cost if thats what you want. The G29 are mostly auto, an M40 costs £30k it's fast and has to be driven with discretion, it's a different kind of fun, if you...
