M350ZB

+1 If its for practicallity then why change the Z for the Elise? Just keep the Z you big girl @ girl Who knows, The Elise has allways been my dream car where,as the m3 conv. is just lush imo

Dont put ideas in my head, my basic plan is to get clear two cars and have one, hopefully saving me some money Funny thing is the M3 Conv. and Elise are two tottaly different cars , being young aye

:lol: TBH its a toss up at the mo between an M3 Conv and an elise, the SLK200, and the CLK500 are both a bit out of my new price range tbh.

So far been thinking, M3 Conv. SLK200. Lotus Elise. Mini cooper S JCW . CLK500. 5 SERIES.

Got my Zed when i was 20, and cant remember what i paid, but was with admiral, they have allways given me great quotes, how-ever now 23, and am insured with sky insurance, as they cover all my mods like for like, one thing to consider bud, if your going into the modding game , i pay £1400 with sky for the zed, all declared as well as the mg zr i have, both fully comp.

Something tells me that Mark's posts never need a bump given his regular updates! O you know

Cheers bud

A simple but greta little mod

cheers Maz, and hope ya can hold on to yours bud

Pretty tasty

I can't believe that to upgrade only a GTR would tempt you???????????????? So what made you go for the E46 M3 then Laim ?, you took much of a hit in the current climate with it ?

Civic type r?! I had a bit of fun with one of them the other day, all i can say is what a let down Clio v6 i can agree with, but only if you have no plans of taking anything more than a coke can for luggage What abot the megane r26.r if you read evo mag you will see how highly rated it is, and very tunable!! I think someone may be a little megane biased here stick with "steer with ya rear" :lol:

Fancy a px for a vivaro van and a curly wurly? Been waiting for you to pop up bud , hope the new motor is going all good

Im Running 20"s and with a veilside body kit, no probs at all, just make sure you get some good offsets and you will be fine

GTR , awesome, but way out of my price range

Knowing what his threads are like that could be by sunday 99% of the posts will be him answering himself though More than likely, but thank you for the people that are replying

Is an open forum and i am genuinly intrested into see what people have bought after the Zed, even if it is a down grade due to certain situations or what not. This has been a great forum and i have meet so many cracking people, most of which i can stay in touch with. So carry on guys ................................................... :lol:

TVR's, lovely cars but just a money pit, a friend at work had had one a while and recently he has forked out over £9K for an engine re-build, only to find the head gasket went once he got it back, not pratical with some of the special paint works and imo a pure money pit. But then again if i came across some money, why the heck not, awesome car ad very very , and the sounds

I'm actually surprised at how much I miss a manual gearbox. +1 I still use the stick to shift up and down rather than the paddles as when you turn the wheel the paddles spin with the wheel which is very annoying. We only got the SMG cos the Mrs wanted an auto and it was the best compromise we could find. The SMG is a very slick bit of kit though. With regard to the servicing, it'll be going to an independant. it may be more expensive but that is evened out by the fact that the service schedule is not like the zed's e.g 12 months/9k it is based on the onboard computer and is determined by how you drive the car. Lots of short journeys and the miles to the next service comes down quicker. use it les frequently and for longer journeys like we do and the service will not be for ages. Its not uncommon to see M3's unserviced for 18 months + because of this. My car is showing the service is required in 11,000 miles but we have only done 3,000 in it since January so it'll be ages before we need to service it at that rate.................. Only the second time I tried the paddles I picked up a ticket for 59 in a 30 - whoops! Never drove an M3 Liam, fancy letting me take yours for a spin, and digsy i can me following the exact same suit , as said IMO, what ever car i would have to have a manual, just takes the fun away from the car, but can see Liams case, still a cracking car Liam, and no doubt yours is fully spec'd right up, sat nav,t.v and all !

Life after the Zed also is decided by budget though guys for some of us :lol:

I'm actually surprised at how much I miss a manual gearbox. What ever car it would be a manual for sure !!! IMO takes the fun out of driving !!!

, dunno why just allways liked them, imo they look

:lol:

Impressed with the MPG, thought it was worse than the Zed. I have allways been a fan of the e46 m3, and the conv. is imo. Heard different views on the SMG though, expensive to fix if goes wrong. Dont you miss a clutch though and a gear stick though?, think i would. What about servicing costs betweent the both ?, Is BMW that bad as reported ?
