No, that is gear box independent. It is a challenge speccing these cars from new as the option book is about half an inch thick. Spent ages trying to configure mine with the options I wanted (during project status calls
).The only option which was a bit of a waste of money was the "had to have", according to the dealer, interior LED light pack. At about £400 it was not worth it.

We are in a similar position as we bought a new car in the summertime - I'm dreading that first council gritter
Just get an old car Ronk, why I go around in the Z3 during the winter with some decent tyres on it.

My Disco 3 is now nine years old and has full winters on it. That'll do nicely !
It's only done 43k and serviced every year so it should last a while longer.
It's a very tidy car although a recent hail storm has dented it's roof and bonnet - I will have it tidied then no doubt Mrs K will be banging on about selling it !

A drive, so he said. So I assume you must be in the block paving business or so :lol:
Yes a drive
Check the performance specs against the 35is and the zed is far from second. Each to there own and if we all had the same tastes it would be a boring world.TitanTim said:Nanu said:
Zed is nice in its own right but dynamically I would say it's a poor second to the Cayman by a fair margin. But then I could be talking rubbish

This is not top trumps, my car has so much more torque than a 35is, but that doesn't make it a sports car or handle particular well
I'm not implying the Z4 is a bad car by any means but its not a "sports" car, a big lump under the bonnet doesn't maketh the car.
My M135i is 50bhp odd more than a standard Cayman but I bet I would enjoy driving Cayman more, the chassis for me is the key, nimbleness = fun

Interior is dire imho. Feels like I'm sat in my old 944 S2, which felt like a moderate upgrade from my 924 !
