Anyone else sold on one..?

[MefiEcosse]

You can see why I’m staying away!!!!

To loose £25k in 2.5 yrs and 8k tho and probably the same on the a new one in another two or three years ?

Little look won't do any harm Ronk, get yourself down there!

As the title, have to say I’m very very impressed with the M40i in the flesh. Test drive booked for Saturday, let’s see how it drives.

Oh do have fun on Saturday, is it the M40i you’re driving? I’m booked for a drive Monday alas they only have the 2.0 as the demonstrator :x

You can blame me if it makes you feel better!

 

[ronk]

That’s a brave man I can tell you!

I spoke to one of dealerships staff the other day and he said the car looks stunning!

Personally don’t think it’s going to be a great buy, not new anyway. The supra looks like the one to get, but 16 plate i8s are looking mighty tempting at this money aswell!

I don’t want a one with a tin hat or a 4cyl
For me, It has to be a wind in the bald patch and a big engine!

I do see the appeal of a convertible! Be interested how much of a move it is from the 35iS, on paper they looks pretty evenly matched but we’ll see how the looks stack up in real life. I’m a little bit miffed that they’ve allowed the Z4 to lag behind its counterparts AGAIN though. Why won’t they put all the 3 series equipment in them? Where’s surround view, hud, active cruise etc etc.

Tuners will be over this like a rash given the US variant pushes out 380 ponies due to lesser emissions standards ... & then am sure will tweak it to well over 400...

 

[Z4M-2006]

What you trying to say Andy...?? :hairdryer:

Nope, no wind up Jembo, and it’s a whopping 28k cheaper than the Boxster GTS I’ve got on order...

Which you would get back at 3 yrs when you get the itch to switch :wink:

3 years?

Pfft it wouldn’t last 3 months, and 2 of them would be sat in the garage whilst trying to sell it..

As long as I’ve got a hole for an arse,this ain’t ever gonna happen..

And I'm sure you'll buy it off him

 

[Davidcliff]

I looked at one yesterday when I collected my car from a service . Its huge compared to my E89 and in my opinion more masculine looking . I do think the E89 is a girls car in appearance . The front of the new car is very wide, I don't like the back . I do like the interior .

:?

10” or so screen centre, screen for the dashboard, head up display available, adaptive cruise available, it’s all there.

Cheers Sars, you too.

It’s a 2.0 I’m testing as well however they are letting me take out the frozen grey M40i for a blast up and down the bypass as a one off as they know I’ve got a GTS on order, good of them.... :roll: I’d mention the Boxy you’re thinking of, it seems to rattle their cages.... :lol:

I saw the one in Williams at weekend ..

I had to use the toilet ..

I honestly cannot think of a worse looking “ sports” car for sale at the moment.

 

[tomscott]

Heading to Williams Stockport tomorrow to go check one out too...

I like them although they make very little financial sense. Will take some pics and post them.

TBH if you can afford the GTS buy that, doubt it will depreciate anywhere near like these will

Be a great pre owned car in 2-3 years tho, shame because cr*p sale means another ZM car is never going to happen.

 

[Marlon]

Not yet.
The design move from the E89 to the G29 reminds me of how I felt when Mercedes launched the new SLK R172 replacing the R171. The nose looked too high and the whole front end too fussy, I prefer the sleeker cleaner lines of the previous SLK and feel the same about E89 vs the G29.

Then you have not seen the Veyron Diamond Edition.



An fundamentally ugly car, further decorated with bird s**t.
