I always thought I'd keep it for ever :-(
I was a very lucky boy at 23, given the opportunity to pick a lease car with my company, I went down the list and chose the fastest thing to 60. Had never sat in an M Coupe let alone test driven one but figured an M car is an M car. My mate helped me pick the options, I really didnt have a clue !! How lucky was I that BMW had it covered for me, what a car ! ! I'll never forget the faces at sytner when I turned up in hoodie and bassball cap and asked to sit in the demo, they didnt want to know, 2 weeks later I dropped mine in for the 1200 running in service, bunch of toads!
That was 3 years and 50,700 miles ago. The car was picked up last Monday as BMW wanted 21K to buy out and it wasnt worth that in my opinion. It was however the most exhillerating car I'd ever been in and I will sorely miss it.
For all those picking up 2nd hand Z4 M's at the moment i envy the excitement you must feel when your about to pick them up !
Perhaps one of the best M cars in recent times when you compare to the fatter M3 and bonkers X5 and X6.
Anyways, I wont be on here much so take care everyone.
And if anyone wants to know, its being replaced by a Noble.
See you at Le Mans !
