Hi there - I'm also from abedeeenshire. Your Elise looks great! I had a VX220 before the Z4M (mine is a Roadster) and I don't regret the move a there was a learning curve as I'd not had a F-R car before but now I love it.

As sad as it is to say, moving to a car with working heating, a good stereo and heated seats has added a lot of fun to my journeys in it. Electric roof as well means no excuse to keep the lid on when it's dry :)

That said I think the Lotus/VX DNA is highly addictive - I can see an Elise/Exige/K20'd in my future for sure.

Well, the Elise set off for Welwyn Garden city yesterday afternoon and the new owner reported that he did it in 9 hours. So now it's a case of scouring the classifieds for a low milage Z4M Coupe , there does not seem to be a lot of new cars coming on to the market. I guess it's a combination of rarity and the time of year.

Hi and welcome - well almost! If you're still searching then don't forget there is a specific sale section on this forum for the Zed. People often letting them go to a fellow enthusiast for below asking price. You'll also have a bit of history behind the vehicle available through the threads, so you know it's been looked after, etc. Link here if you haven't seen the section already! Good luck Das882.

Thanks Kis, I've have already been looking and keeping an eye on the Z4 specific for sale column, as yet there has been nothing so far....I guess it's a combination of wrong time of year and scarcity.
