Sorry, on reflection I my post did sound a little pesamistic. Only based on what I have observed though and my own theories as to why it's gone this way.
I think turbos have a lot to answer for...
We all know they are great cars, but for those for those long term owners it's quite painful at the moment - I guess we need to focus on all the joys ownership brings!
Of the person that was selling the Z4M I refered to - I *think* they were a member here, I don't recall the name though. It was on the market a reletively long time at an astonishinly good price.
And to say once again, it's a beaut. Top spec and clearly looked after, you just need the right person to come along with the cash.
I can't decide if I like the black wheels or not... I guess the new onwer would always be free to respray...
