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!

Power hood was standard on Z4s with a proper engine

This was mine, had it around 2004-2005.

Sarg, did yours have runflats? This one has Bridgestone runflats with puny 16" alloys and it tramlines epically!

New wheels/tyres are definitely first on my mod list.
