Hey all.
I'm looking to find 'the ultimate buying guide' for these beautiful machines.
I've been thinking about a weekend treat for quite sometime now, along the lines of z4, 350z, mx5, s2000. I've cut the 350 out due to being more of a muscle car, mx5 due to being too common and not special enough imo and the s2000 due to cost and possibly too specialist for maintenance and spare parts.
The z4 appeals as it's a great looker and has great reviews from the journalists etc and possibly easier maintenance as alot of parts shared with 3 series etc.
I'm thinking along the line of a 6 cylinder with a minimum of 200bhp/t, most seem to rave about the 3.0 litre engines, to me I believe at present this would just be a bonus.
Looking forward to learning more on the choice of the 6 cylinders available and also of any south wales based indies that you could recommend.
I've a budget of 2 to 5 grand, 2k would be a bit of an ongoing project, 5k it would have to be pretty much immaculate. So it's a roadster I'd be looking at for this kind if money I believe.
Cheers all, I'm off for a nose around.
