[quote="Lee4.8is"]I just didn't connect with it for some reason & it was a cracking drivers car, I think I was just hankering after another V8 after my TVR & I have wanted V8 M3 since I test drove one back in 2008, but I do miss the enhanced noise & feel of a car with the roof off though, love the M3 lots just not the fuel bills!

I so wanted a Z4M as a 3rd car, ie keeping the 123 and my e61. Came very close to one exactly the same combo as yours done just under 60k but dithered and was sold by the time I wanted to see it  :doh:

Then Mrs Chompers got involved and as they say the rest is history

You have no balls man stand up for yourself....... I'm just about to mention the 240r wheels to mine which are ready for delivery!!
[/quote]

I DO and would like to keep them just where they are  thanks. I'm sure the current Mrs 535 will have no issue with your new additions, as if uyour going to tell her anyway  )

I did feel for you Chompers as I know how much you wanted one & I did smile when you put in your sig SWMBO had curtailed your plan!

You have a great pair though now & you can't go wrong with two beemers.

Indeed, good point still waiting for 535 to get bored of the Orange rocket and "lose it" of the books  :pokey:

Did you make any money on the Z? they seem to be holding strong value wise after some big hits over the last year or so, again a reason why I held off 
[/quote]
Not really tbh but I wanted out so that's the way it goes I suppose, the values have stabilised & I can't believe how much motor you get for your money as they are a real performance bargain In my eyes, just the tax bracket & servicing count against them a little, cracking powerplant in them though the S54 will be remembered fondly in years to come.

To true  I only said to the mrs tonight what a fantastic forum this is & the Z4 forum aswell, I feel fortunate to be involved in two great sites as you don't get this on other forums, they are a credit to all who contribute in a very positive way & it does make it a pleasure being part of the community.
