Hi all have been thinking about my future cars I have owned a E85 Z4 for 6 months now and love it but I am always looking at what next and the obvious choice should be a E89 and I do like them they have come quite a way from the E85 but I am also looking at 3 series coupe and 4 door models and wanted to see what people experiences have been on both cars even though I suspect a bias toward the Z4 of course but I like to hear peoples ideas and opinions on things in a ideal world I would keep my current Z4 and buy a 3 series but at 22 insurance for both would nearly be enough to buy the car itself :rofl: so thats sort of out of the question unfortunately. my only must is another 6 cylinder as I have one now and can't see me buying a 4 anytime soon as the sound and the smoothness is something I don't want to be without on my next car.

Hi OP,

I run one of each - sometimes being older is useful! :roll:

I have Z4 Coupe and an E46 325ti Sport Compact as a daily.

Good as the Compact is, it just isn't a patch on the Z4! I'd say the Compact is a "sporty" car whereas the Z4 is a "sports" car.

Plus the Z4 feels totally different sitting lower with the back axle just behind you and a much smaller cabin - a totally different experience IMHO.

But to make up your own mind you it wouldn't hurt to test drive one or two of the options you mention.

Good luck anyway. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the replies i will have to go out in a few different cars to get the feel when i have time, i do get what you mean about the cabin space i do like to feel like the car is built around you in the z4, i wonder how long/ if the Z4 will ever qualify for classic car insurance then maybe i could afford both cars :D

had a number of 3 series of different specs/ages...fabulous cars, 5 seats, good boot, good to drive
one z4....fabulous car, 2 seat, small boot, good to drive
depends what you need and what you want. I decided on a z4 for fun, had 3s for practicality, fun, etc. For me, right time for a 2 seater
