Lost mine at 21 in an Audi Coupe that I had just bought. I was doing 57 in a 40, overtaking a police car! Oops. No, I'm not a nutter, it was a black unmarked Sierra Cosworth 4x4, and one of the first unmarked patrol cars to have a video camera.1988. Can't get away with anything these days...

Thanks Stalker! Sounds like you do your homework which is smart. Just off to hide the bunny! :lol:

Also, does anyone know the names of the grey colours - am I right in thinking that there are at least 2 different greys?

Anyone looked at this one? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3528219.htm

I meant "for now" not "for new". :?

Hmm, thanks for that. Looks nice and I like the colour. I was hoping for fewer miles but I'll keep my eye on your post for new. Nice wheels but I still fancy the 5 stars. I think I am yet to be infected with the tweaking decease that this forum breeds. not sure how long I will hold out though! :)

Thanks for that, all good. I wish I was after a black one as there seem to be lots! But that colour doesn't do it for me. As you say - patience!

That's good, helpful. You see a shiny car and forget common sense. I agree with your points.

And this is the other one I have an eye on. Again, a little over my budget and as a private sale not sure of the haggleability (was previously on at £15,500). Just not 100% on the colour yet but looks like a nice spec...

Doh! Here's the link: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201146428220179/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-mileage/up_to_40000_miles/body-type/coupe/model/z4/make/bmw/page/2/postcode/ba13rw/radius/1500?logcode=p

Any thoughts on this one? Not quite sure of the colour - is there a Silver Grey and a Grey Grey (if you see what I mean? Don't know the BMW names). High spec and looks loved by previous owner. Slightly above my budget but low miles and 2008. Not sure of the 2nd hand value difference between...

I will be back in the UK at the end of March and am looking for a great Z4 Coupe. I am keeping an eye on this forum, Piston Heads, Autotrader and ebay, as well as BMW Approved. I will be based near Bath but happy to travel to find the right car. Here's my ideal spec: 2006 - 2008 Sport - might...

Thanks for the honest answer. All good to know. See you on the road!

Very jealous! I had my eye on that one but I am not back in the UK until end of March. I know it's rude to ask but can I ask what kind of discount (if any!) you got off the asking price? Obviously there is a premium for an official Approved used BMW but do they haggle? Just need to get my ammo...

Great, that's the kind of info I needed! I wondered why I couldn't find one for sale with SMG mentioned. Very helpful and yes, I need to test drive. Cheers.
