Z4M Eventuri - WIW?

[Beedub]

its very tough at the moment for us Zedders they are pretty much worthless, Ive had some wild offers from this very forum for my old snot box..... most probably would think it would be unsellable in such a high state of tune / modification. To me the car is invaluable and something i truly adore so i just keep spending on it

Lucky that so many of us seem to want to keep them indefinitely! I don't mind spending a significant proportion of the car's value to improve it. For me it's about the pleasure of modifying it, as well as seeing the gains on track, not the end value.

...ive just spent my GT4 RS funds on an extension and i don't regret it one bit with the Z sitting in the garage.

Haha! I know that feeling - I've spent my Zed Supercharger / Exige Cup 430 fund multiple times over on emigrating, a house, a wedding, a kid (which necessitated a kid-appropriate family car and a house move), house renovations, another kid and now nursery and school fees... but there's always been enough left over to keep my Zed and use it to its full potential even with 200hp less than I'd hoped!

i recently had the chance to get my dream extension on the back of my house i wasn't even planning on it tbh, it gives me another living room that the complete family can enjoy, it wasn't much of a choice when it came down to it ive already got my dream car , as humans we always want the next thing, the gt4RS is going to be a much better car in every respect but is it 150k better??? NO. Not in my world its not and not a soul will convince me of that. Was an easy choice and the right one for my family as we are growing and need more space. Unless i have a VERY VERY good few years at work now, that dream MAY be gone but time will tell, works been slower than usual with the decline in new car sales which effects us directly. Interesting times, in hindsight see my z4m as the poor mans GT4 RS spyder

Totally agree.
I bought a 718 4.0 GTS last month and was going to sell the ZMR.I had the Porsche for just over a week and thought what am i doing. The z with just 50,000 miles on and i was struggling to sell it much above £15000.I just couldn't warrant the extra £50,000 for the Porsche so decided to get keep the ZMR and ditch the Porsche. These cars are tremendous value at the moment and with a few tweaks not that far behind the 718. Dont get me wrong the 718 4.0 is so much easier to drive fast.
So the up shot is I'm keeping and spending some money on it that i know i will never get back, but if i keep the car for say 5 more years who cares.
People will think nothing of spending say £5,00 on a holiday and it's gone, what do you get for it. A bunch of memories.
Just a quick picture to show how beautiful she is and why

keeping it.

I love my Z4MR and would only do a swap with a spyder RS and money my way

Well I've reevaluated my position and for the time being will be prioritising doing track days and at least one ring trip this year over a carbon airbox.

Thanks for the input all!

That sounds like a pretty good Plan B Ed.
