I am interested to know why you keep swapping cars for the same ones. Don't get me wrong...I enjoy getting new cars (a lot), but different ones. Surely buying the same all the time gets a little 'familiar' after 3 or 4? Or is that the point....you know what you are getting?
I have a mate who had company cars for 30 years. He always chose a Mondeo, even though the choices became wider over the years. I would ask him why he always had Mondeos; his answer was "they are good cars". But how would he know if it was the only car he ever drove?
How about mixing it up a little and getting an MX5? Just for shits and giggles. They are great and much more fun to drive than any Z. Imagine the kudos of a picture of a Mazda in 'your layby'.....

Definitely a case of knowing what you are getting - I wouldn't have a clue what little foibles to look out for if I went to look at another model.I am interested to know why you keep swapping cars for the same ones.

In addition the Zed range is so broad that even within the same model generation there are multiple options to differentiate cars before you even consider the maintenance history and condition. As an example although this is my 5th E86 I haven't owned one with the auto box or grom aftermarket Bluetooth device.
As I sit here now I'd like to think the E86 with an auto box is what I've settled on - but you know me and next month I could be back in an M44 (I do love those)

New wheels look way better. Good choice!
Already ticked that box - but I suspect you already knew the answerGreat looking Zed Garrie and definitely better on silver wheels
How long before she's parked in your layby
I did, but you've made it official now by posting the evidence
I'm always the same with a new car - any excuse to get out and drive.
And this mornings excuse was that sunny days aren't just for roadsters

You’ve had quite a few E86 coupes iirc. Even swapped some real m badges for one. What makes you keep coming back to them more than the rest of the Z fleet?I'm always the same with a new car - any excuse to get out and drive.

Looks and functionality I guess and obviously the driving dynamics - I find that the addition of a fixed roof just intensifies the overall experience
True to form I've just agreed another deal on another Zed so the coupe I recently bought off the Z4forum is up for sale.

The 230's are for sale separately and have been replaced with MV2's with Goodyear Eagle tyres that were fitted in 2021 - fronts have plenty of tread and rears are still above the wear bar.
Car is booked in for it's MOT on the 10th so will come with a full 12 months and is located in Sheffield S13.

Knew it wouldn't last, it's top down weather!
very nice, i do like the 4 coupe, i had one, and other than the quite boring front, the body lines are super cool
Damn!
I would kill for one.
Know how much these go over here?
C-r-a-z-y money.
Would consider getting it and do a steering swap, but Brexit made it impossible for one to enter the borders.

Yes I've heard a few people say the same - the important process and associated charges make it prohibitive.
Can't be many people with a coupe and a hardtop for sale but what can I say - I'm going all in for summerKnew it wouldn't last, it's top down weather!
if i sell my mustang, id be all over this...
