Well it's been 6 months of love hate with my 07 coupe. It's beautiful and fun to drive. I've done a track day and done everything from shopping runs to 520 mile commutes Bristol to Aberdeen and I'm just not sure it's for me. It's loud, harsh and can't cary much stuff. If I put too much weight in the boot then the sat nav and radio control freezes. The air bag light is on and I've replaced a broken rear spring. On the track the brakes are not capable of cooling themselves even with racing fluid and pads they just get too hot and stop working. There's too much understeer and no LSD. I can't get the seat back far enough to be comfortable on the 8 hour drive to Aberdeen. To cap it all off the car has been stuck on the other side of town since it snowed on Friday. It's parked off street with a small hill one way and tight cobbled street the other and I can't get enough traction to make it out. Before you say it I've been driving rwd bmw's all my life and its not lack of skill that's stopping me getting the car home.
On the other hand I love it's looks. I love the feeling I get when I open the door and slide into the driver seat, the piano black with black sport leather and the auto box with paddles on the wheel. The infectious roar of the straight six when you take it up to the red line. The way the dsc lets you have a bit of fun but not spin and I don't know what else but I do love it. It's just that I hate it as well!
Since its been stuck I've borrowed a mates scooby as he is on holiday and doesn't need it. I've always hated the image of the scooby, it's ugly and basic inside. It's worth a fraction of what my z4 is worth but its just as quick, the turbo charged engine makes just as an infectious noise and the dump valve although childish makes me giggle every time! It can cope with snow and infact is most fun in the snow as it drifts so nicely. It can carry 5 people and as its the estate version a hole host of other stuff.
Yes it's ugly but the ride is much better and it will do anything you ask of it.
It's unthinkable but .....
I really like it.
Maybe enough to get rid of the z4?
