JaredNomac Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honestly, I would love the 350 but the potential fuel bills are scaring me off a bit, I'll be doing 1-1.2k a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honestly, I would love the 350 but the potential fuel bills are scaring me off a bit, I'll be doing 1-1.2k a month. that 10 extra mpg in the z4 looks better now though? If your doing that many miles will you not want a more comfy interior? Like the bmw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, it's a case of head over heart, or vice versa Plus short service intervals it might feel like your always in a garage. German cars always carry their milage better than Japanese cars. I have a bmw on 160k at the moment and had a merc on 170k and they feel like brand new. Its up to you but a few of my friends have had fast cars but running costs left a bad taste.

JaredNomac Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah that's a big selling point for sure. It's not like the Z4 3.0 is slow, it certainly won't have the top end grunt of the 350 tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 350 has low end grunt. It's a lil breathless up top and it's not the revviest engine going. Have you thought of a 3.2 s 986 boxster?

Do NOT quote me out of context - You asked to come see her - I simply said if your budget was only 7k max then she was out of your price range. Your reply was : "well I was begining to think of increasing the budget but thanks anyways" (sic) such a reply would lead anyone to believe the conversation was finished. I don't play games Jared Liam - I haven't 'scared ' anyone off - I have however refused a potential sale after being faffed around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
