This weekend sees my faithful little Z3 go off to a new home after nearly three years of reliable service during which its mileage went from 71,000 to 135,000.

Tonight it has had to suffer the embarrassment of having to sleep with its replacement in the drive.

The Z4C is a worthy replacement though :cool:

Might go the same way myself sometime in the future

Bloody let down :D! Only kidding mate, looks lovely, just hope the roof doesn't leak and you get more than 33.6mpg! Enjoy, I'm sure you will. :thumbsup:

My car has the same engine & ive had over 40mpg out of it on long motorway runs-the si n52 engine is more powerful than the earlier m54 engine yet gives 12% greater economy.
It's also the lightest engine of its size ever made (magnesium block/head)

Good looking coup and same engine as our Z4. You should easily see 28+ traveling around town as that is what we get and should see more than 33mpg on long runs

I was telling you grumpy, as you were the one saying it wouldn't do 33mpg!
They are a bit better than that :thumbsup:

Well you've really fuelled his fire now! Well it would appear I've lost on that one so hopefully his roof will leak! Can't see that happening either! He's going to be soooo smug! :banghead::D
