Well technically January 2018 Colin but reality is i'm more than happy changing my own gears unless a severe bout of sciatica comes on i can't see me seeking out a automatic for a while yet

I’m still happy changing my own gears at 52, it’s when others grind them I don’t like it

Hoping you will get a manual gearbox conversion for the 35is Tom..

Will sit well with the flat cap, werthers and shiny tissue box on rear shelf...

The decision came as the DCT gives my blood pressure respite when swimbo has the keys

Plus Manchester traffic

After having the PDK across Europe the speed the blips ah man it’s addictive. I agree a manual is my preferred but it just seems like the best of both worlds atm

Will be interesting to see how you feel after a few miles and months of ownership


I see the plus and negative points of both..

Personally have no preference,just different

51 and I can still wrestle an M around the Peak District Nurburgring my friend...

It’s great to see my old car staying on the forum! An excellent car & she was very very well looked after in my ownership Enjoy!

My first "automatic" gearbox EVER and I love it.
Strange that so many dislike it

Edit: 2nd actually. Forgot that I owned a M6

Edit nr 2: I also had a M3 E46 with SMG. My memory today haha...

Sorry

Just seen this Tom - congratulations!
The DCT gearbox makes so much sense if you're using your Zed in traffic these days and looks like you've bought yourself something very special again - nice one

*****STILL FOR SALE*****

Just to advise - my Z4 is still up for sale. At the last minute Tom found another car of interest.

Not to worry - car was fully prepared, fuelled up with V-power and freshly detailed ready for collection Friday.

Any other interest - please advise as soon as possible.

Many thanks,
Ste.

Unfortunately time lines didn't quite match and I ended up pursuing another vehicle.

I didn't manage to get to see the car but looks lovely. Sure someone will be very happy with it.

GLWTS.

Eh ??

Hi Folks - we have been busy and not pushed the sale of the Z4... until now.

No major updates from the original post...

Best Regards,
