Is the Z4 coupe the last ever?!!

yes, your still a bit uptight - best bet is some time away from the forum and save those pennies for the classic car you desire :thumbsup:

What about the Z3M coupe :P Still kind of current ;)

Alfa 4C 8C?

Jag F type coupe..

A straight 6 doesn't make a great sport car. As long as its a 6 or bigger, V8 would be nicer. E89 coupe with the M3 V8 would be awesome.

As for an auto with a quad exhaust system every high end sports car is an auto with a quad so not really sure what that comment means...
Ranski is trying to bate me :D did you not notice?
He was saying bought the wrong car. blah blah
All very tedious
 
Zeld4 - I dont think you understand your own thread

you asked if the coupe would be a future classic - forum members have replied with their thoughts and opinions, including me...

My opinion was that the standard 3.0 coupe would not be a future classic, instead the M coupe would be - no bate there?

If you were offended by this then i suggest you do not post open questions, otherwise you will just been offended and upset

Hope this is clear enough for you :)

lol I asked nothing of the sort. In my first message there is nothing about asking if it will be a future classic:)

I merely asked if there was a car being built with the same configuration as the Z4 coupe if it;s ////M or other wise.

If you are trying to bait coupe drivers then at least get your facts straight as to what the thread is about :rofl:

None of the above actually fit OP's parameters.

none have a NA straight 6 for example.

I don't think Zeld is stating that a great sports car has to have a NA straight 6, just that there aren't many (if any) sports coupés still in production with this particular configuration.

Exactly, thank you for your words of wisdom and for taking the time in trying to understand the thread :roll:
 
I own neither now so am in the position to say it's unlikely either will be a true classic unless it has an M engine. Even then i think it will be the fact that it's manual and naturally aspirated that will make it desirable.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the merc engines will be turbo'd. The reason for doing so is because the straight configuration is capable of higher output with lower emissions. Nearly all cars will be blown soon as I believe the emissions rating allow for manufacturers to run them off turbo for rating so it lets them get lower tax ratings with more power. I believe, don't quote me on this.

That's amazing, I wonder how it's more economical?

PLEASE NOTE:this thread is not about if the Z4 coupe will be a future classic!!!!

Whilst driving home the other night I was pondering the Z4 coupe's configuration.
Front engine,2 seat fixed head coupe, rear wheel drive, naturally aspirated in line straight six.

Then I thought of a few great sport cars that share it, notably the E-type Jag, Aston DB5, Datsun 240Z, Triumph GT6,
MGC GT ,original Merc gullwing,and I'm sure there are more.

But then I tried to think of a current car with the same lay out and couldn't think of one.

So is the BMW Z4 coupe the last ever car to be built to have that classic configuration?

Any body got any ideas?

Cheers for that mate :| not exactly helping my mood as i look at parting company with mine in the coming months :(
They are a design classic that will look good for years & years & will always be rare on the roads

It's all in the wording - well at least everyone who thought the thread was about 'future classic's' now understands the correct context - breath out... :thumbsup:

Well ranski, it seemed to confuse some of the simpler members on here :rofl:

You can read in to it as you please and try to highjack the thread. I don't need to ask on here if the Z4 coupe will be a future classic because I know it will be already :driving:
 
Lol handbags are out this afternoon :grin: I find it all very clear. I think this a lot also. Not classic status but something that isn't being done often any more and can't see the sense if doing in in the future, unfortunately.

I also love the NA 3.0, its noise, smoothness and power delivery. Marques are leaning more towards lawn mower engines with turbos strapped on with muted exhaust notes which just all sound generic to me, just look at f1!

down boy! down!

we are a little terrier arent we :)

Oh well i offered a truce but you threw it back, you'll be fun to see on the next meet :thumbsup:

PS "simpler members" you'll make a lot of friends on here...
 
lol where was that truce ranski? I have no idea what you are on about.

you seemed to think i was offended by you because you thought I bought a Z4 coupe for it's future classic status which couldn't be further from the truth.

You are truly charming ranski and very quick to take offense then accuse every body else of taking offense.

Yes a terrier, yap yap. Stop calling names and grow up my little laddie :rofl:

p.s and when I said simpler people, I was only referring to you :thumbsup:
