i'm also pretty supprised about the amount of younger people, i was expecting the avarage age to be around 30.
i'm 21, drive a 3.0 54plate roadster, and yes, i live at home..... i am looking for a place though!
insurance is a bit silly to be completely honest, my stupidly modified Fiat was consideribly less to insure and was a fair bit faster than the Z4, i think it comes down to how desireable they are?

craig3.0 said:yeah,lookn at the posts there is qt a wide spread of ages/tho most of the younger owners do prob still live with there parents and drive the 2.0/lol
good to see a broad base of ages,enjoying their zeds(tho they need to fit non rfts and a bmw oe strutbrace asap/improves it ALOT)
lol u say that as if owning a 2.0 is BAD thing?? surely not
31 with a 3.0SI Sports Coupe. First proper sports car.......loving it
Taz,i agree/wish i couldv afforded any reasonably new z4 back in my 20s(was driving cavlr turbos,leon cupras,etc)
ronk,ditto/hats of to banedome at 79(hope im like him at 79)
woots,like your blue zed just fine,nothing wrong with the 2.0s,just think z4 works better with a bigger engn/ie a 6cylndr lol. i just thought u guys/girls in ur teens/20s would want to be driving hot hatches with better aclrtn,for the same cash as a decent(2.0) z4?? not much room in the zed for mates or the ladies :evil:
anyway,i was 33 before buying my 1st true sportscar,which the z4 is /up thr with the best,having driven evrthn from boxsters,caymans,etc to ferrari f430s/lotus'/lambo murclago lp640s,dodge vipers,etc,etc. as mentioned b4,the z4 is transformed with non rft tyres and an oem strutbrace/it then equals or betters the boxster 2.7/3.2 in every way
as lucy said,age is just a number these days; we all have 1 thing in common,good taste

27...
It's never as bad as people expect IMO. Sure you get silly quotes (I was quoted £7k for the Bora by one firm), but I've paid:
21 - Bora VR6 2.8 4Motion - £630
23 - 04 BMW 330Ci Sport - £540
24 - 04 BMW M3 SMG - £1230
25 - 06 BMW Z4MC - £950
...and now I am 27 it's just under £800. Although not the cheapest this seemed ok to me?
Past 25 now - hrmph - so hopefully it will only get cheaper from here on out!

Dont hold your breath for cheaper insurance - Its just a carrot they dangle!
When I was 18 ( a long time ago) it was "wait 'till you're 21" Then it was 25 - then 30 - get the picture! Now I'm 62 I'm waiting for the " its gone up this year - its because you're getting old)
I suppose it's just payup and enjoy our toys eh?
I should have said, I was paying £30 a year to insure a Cooper S way back then - but is was about two weeks worth of my salary!

i didnt want a hot hatch its just too boy racer...plus im just stuck on bmw's...im just gonna work up the range till i get to an m6.
there is plentyyy of room for the ladies...just take the smaller (and slimmer) girls out! it all makes sense
:lol: :wink:very true,woots
luckily my fiance is a mere(slim)size 10,and loves cars/and the z4 almost as much as me
as for the m6/6series,u seen 1 of them with the alpina spoiler/makes the back end look alot better(not sure what the m6 has in way of that,not seen 1 up close),tho the alpina splr is the bisns

In my early 20's I had a whopping ( at the time) mortgage, a wife ( married at 23) and child ( at 25).Defo no room for sportscars in the family budget.I always had a motorbike though and did the biking thing until I was 45 when I got my Z (now 47).Still got a bike but spent last summer in the Z whenever the sun shone. It's going to be my daily driver early in 2010 so maybe the bike willl come out to play at weekends a bit more.An amazing spread of ages, testament to how good the car is I think.
