I think you are seriously overplaying the number of owners / potential owners that pass by the forum & even more significantly actually take time to digest the discussions within
I doubt that we currently have 10% of Z4 owners of each individual model whether thats E89 , ///M , Si E86 or E85s :?

Spotted a red fully loaded 35i for about 13.5k on autotrader.
Next to the advert was value assessor for my car, 2009 23i was £7500 :(

I was planning to look for a Z4 coupe once id sold my focus but i think they are starting to look very expensive against these now. Will be interesting to see what happens to prices as if the current trend continues the 35's will be cheaper than the E85 coupes soon

"Soon" :? that already happened last year :( many E89s changed hands around £8500 - £10k which is prime E86 territory but in all fairness they are 2 totally different drives & ownership experience so not sure they can be compared like for like ?

Good job I am not planning on selling mine anytime soon. Some of these prices seem almost to good to be true. Some great cars to be had for some bargain prices.

That red 35i looks lovely as well really nice car for someone.
Went to the dark side Porsche Cayman 987s
Crimson Red E89 23i - :(

I totally agree the cars are very different and i had set out wanting a E86 as it was more fun, more engaging. Although 'good' ones seem to be 9-12k. I wasnt considering an E89 but now the 35i is dropping to 12k and a cheap remap gives you a 350+bhp 2 seater im thinking that could also be quite good fun! If the one Owen posted had been Blue/Black rather than brown id be taking a look i think.
