One thing you miss...

[aquazi]

Japanese reliability.

 

[Exactmax]

I miss the supercharger whine from my old Cooper S - the low end acceleration from it aswell. Xenon lights and the full cat-back Milltek system I had on it. It sounded like a proper hot hatch....

 

[AlanJ]

The girlfriend - until Mrs J found out....... :?

struggling to think of anything

 

[Anonymous]

The rumble of a V8!

 

[noxas]

Auto box and cruise control.

 

[original guvnor]

I could say removable roof (see signature).........................................................................................but I'd be lying

 

[sbtwister]

6-speed gear box (Manual)

 

[Rolf-Dieter]

I miss absolutely nothing at all ... well never had the iDrive, have to take a new BMW for a spin with the iDrive to see if I would miss it

 

[encee]

Cruise................and that`s it ! 8)

 

[jan_tekin]

Diesel engine. Doing 25k in the Zed not good for you wallet.

The outside air temperature sensor on my 1998 Z3 worked better. The Z4 seems to have a very long/artificial delay or averaging built in that I find annoying. That's about it!

 

[mrmaple]

all the little toys in my previous 530d SE........

 

[Dr Phibes]

You can still get leather driving goggles. There's some on ebay for £15......... Nothing stopping you.....


Just saying.....

Hmmm, (scratches chin )

Do I get the goggles / or do I get those wheels / - OR BOTH ??

 

[sars]

loud music

 

[Siftah]

Crank handle and goggles ...ahh those were the days

I hear Phils working on a retrofit guide for the crank handle... quick, get on eBay now before the prices go up!

 

[Siftah]

Name one thing you miss that you had on a previous car....

Nothing - this is definitely the best car I've owned or driven.

The turbo, and the bonkers sounds it made when abruptly closing the throttle (akin to a crazy pidgeon).

That said the Z4 was a step forward in every other way except for straight line grunt.

5 seats, enormous boot, comfort suspension (on the way to work I really don't appreciate the hard ride) and the equivalent of 40mpg from a V6 petrol that I got thanks to her LPG conversion, oh, and of course as any Ford owner will tell you, the heated front windscreen!

Hope someone's looking after you my faithful old Mondeo W573 SGB!
