R800NER Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Guys, I thought I would post about me leaving the Z club in the next week or two, in case I change my mind . I secured a nice bonus for the end of year profits for my team, which I am going to put towards upgrading to a car I've fallen in love with (BMW Z4M Roadster). I would be lying if I said this decision was an easy one, as I still think the 350z is the best car sub £20k and would own one again.....preferably my one!. I've spent a good year enjoying and maintaining my car to forum owner standards and haven't spared a penny with modifying it/looking after it (believe me, my girlfriend wishes she was treated that well!). Just wanted to say thanks for all of the advice, friendship and good times (Japanese Tuning Show at Silverstone last year was the best car meet I have ever been to). I'm hoping to continue posting here and would love to come along to the JTS show again this year (although I might struggle with a german car..). Nurrish, I also want to see your supercharged beast at some point, so will definitely keep in touch. I'm going to be selling up in the next few weeks, I doubt I will split any of the parts on my car (including the LMGT-4's, sorry!) as I think the car is perfect the way it is. Not sure if I will put a for sale thread on here or not yet as I might part ex. I have the joy of insurance running out on the 27th, which means I will be running around in a Toyota Prius (yes, please don't take the P***!)

JT1703 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Good luck with the Z4M... get the Coupe though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I want a z4m roadster too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R800NER Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Good luck with the Z4M... get the Coupe though Yeah I do want a coupe....but they are M3 CSL money... So I need to take one step at a time with my cars, ideally with some time spent in a convertible (Z4M Roadster will be my first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Don't get a convertible - go for a coupe!! I must admit I do like the Z4M coup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 z4m... make sure you do lots of research into them, as when i looked there were alot of duds out there. and loads of mixed comments abou them etc... also you have to be really carfeull with Alloys and tires, as the run flats can be a death trap apparently, and the alloys can split and break very easily aswell!

R800NER Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I tell you it was a hard decision between a Z4M and a Corvette. A friend of a friend took me out in a C6 Targa and my word, the sound of that V8 took me away..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Neo, done lots of research and will be buying approved used which comes with a very decent warranty from BMW. The stock Z4M doesn't have runflats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of a friend took me out in a C6 Targa and my word, the sound of that V8 took me away..... Have you had an insurance quote 350z for another years with mods £950. Z4m Roadster is £1350 and Corvette was £1200. I think that's pretty good considering I am still 21years old with 3 years NCB. I love my post code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
