cheers everyone! the Z4 never put a foot wrong but I guess your luck with cars has to run out sooner or later.
Would love a z4mc but I need something more practical. Love the idea of having the z4mc plus a cheap A-B car but I don't have the drive space :D
Part of me thinks its just teething...
Still pushing me to use the warranty. Also found out it will take 6-7 weeks to get a throttle actuator from germany as they are out of stock. Just asked for a full refund :(
Well put it this way.. I've just spent over 20k on a m3 and 3 days later I got a throttle valve actuator fault to the tune of 1k :headbang:
However, the sound and acceleration of a v8 for the first 2 days will stay with me for a lifetime :D
Dam that looks shiny! :thumbsup: Glad to hear it passed the MOT with flying colors!
I just got the message I've been waiting for, pickup the m3 at 4.30 :driving:
Have fun and it was a pleasure to meet you and your brother.
Cheers mate

p.s Say No to AERO skirts ! :lol: (He says...
Should hopefully pick it up tomorrow! Been a long week :headbang: I'll send more pics when I get it :thumbsup: Have to say though, really miss the Z.. seeing the empty drive is quite sad but Hopefully I'll feel better when I hear the V8.. I'm going to put some masking tape over the MPG...
It just drove off without me! :cry: ... loyalty.. pah :D
He's on the forums but a bit more of a lurker than a poster. Will hopefully introduce himself :thumbsup:
So.. my lovely z4 coupe is being picked up tomorrow :cry: and I've just put a deposit on something with more seats for practicality to keep the wife and kids happy... hopefully she doesn't figure out what M and 3 means :D
First offer in and my mind on what to buy is still all over the place.. m3 e46, then m3 e92, then 335i, then some 320 diesel monstrosity.. repeat :? Head over heart conflicts :headbang:
Hey BeemerMad :D My bad, I read it on holiday and got side tracked. I saw a 1 series today (black with red or rust interior) that made me stop and have a look but a diesel might be a touch too sensible for me :lol: .. Just buy my car and worry about selling yours later :poke:
Started to get some PM's.. about bloody time :D
Just tried a mint m3 e46 today with low mileage and I have to say the sound/rasp is mind blowing and great value for money but I'm starting to lean towards the e92 as it just felt a tad dated, might be time to break the piggy bank or enjoy the...
I love the idea of flappy paddles but I just didn't find the auto as engaging or rewarding (Bearing in mind I only had 30 mins) and found it in the wrong gear around roundabouts etc so had to downshift. I also spent my time continuously downshifting when I wanted to upshift (poor car lol).
