Unhappy The A8 is gone :(

Sold this morning to a guy who came down from Newcastle with a one-way ticket

Gave it one last drive this morning and I'm sad to see it go but all good things must come to an end!

Never mind what - whyyyy?????….

It's sad to lose a car from the forum "family", even sadder to lose an owner as well, so I agree with Neil, hopefully you'll be back in the fold soon… :-)

I think I agree with Neil too

D2s have grown on me over the last few years and after every event. So you never know

And the reason for sale, I really fancy a convertible!

I started it at £9k and slowly reduced it to £8k and I eventually sold it for £7,750 for a quick sale, so I'm happy.

I'll still lurk and post on here of course.

Cheers guys. Well for now, here's the replacement.

Go easy on me and keep the abuse to a minimum!

Hmmm….it would be premature to be too abusive without knowing a bit more - e.g. model/engine size, and have you just bought it for the summer sunshine?

Is that an m sport?, hope you have an electric oven if it is.

Should be a fun play thing for sumner.

Suspect you'll miss the 8 soon enough though.

It's a 2.2i SE model. I don't ever recall seeing one in this colour combo so that appealed to me quite a bit.

I was looking at a few Z3Ms and found this Z4 within budget so thought I'd go for it. It has fairly decent spec: BMW Business media/stereo and 6 CD changer, climate control and an electric roof but I learnt that the electric roof was actually an option on Z4s. God knows who would buy the car new and not spec the automatic roof!
