How much would it take to tempt you to sell your Z4MR?

I was tempted out of mine by a 2018 Audi TTS, which I collected at the weekend. The TTS feels quicker on the road than the Z4M - a difference that is backed up by official figures. It sounds susprisingly good for a bog standard four pot, though not as vocal as the S54 with carbon air intake. They're very different cars, of course, and while I miss the old school charm of the E85, I'm blown away by the technology of a current Audi.

Good to hear you are enjoying the replacement.

You don't regret selling then!

I don't regret selling, but I do wish I could have kept the Z4 alongside the TT.

Yes, but that usually isn't an option!

I wish I had kept my MK2 Escort RS2000 when I got my first Capri 2.8 Injection - and now I wish I still had them both. :lol:

I've been running two cars for a few years now, with the Z4s living in my garage and my diesel daily on the driveway in the weather. I work from home now, and have my girlfriend's car on the drive as well, so it made sense to swap both of my cars for one fun car that can live in the garage :driving:

Your Escort and Capri would be worth a fair bit now, if you'd kept on top of the inevitable rust!

what rear tyre is that running? i think thats the thinnest sidewall i've ever seen, don't hit any potholes with them on!

I’m using the Coupe most of the time so the MR isn’t getting a great deal of tarmac time which pushes me in to thinking I should consider selling her.
The problem is once I do take her out for a drive the difference to the Coupe is night and day, as is the power delivery and, like a filthy lady of the night, she pulls me back from the door with the promise of things that shouldn’t be spoken of!
The fact the suspension, wheels and brakes have all been uprated means I’d probably not see a massive increase in the sale price in comparison to what the parts cost.
Then I look back at her and, well……
