Upgrade from Z4M .. impossible?

It would have to be the V8 F Type of course :D - and a Coupe :fuelfire:

They do a hatchback ? It would probably need to be a Project 7.


I've looked at this a few times this week

I'll be keeping an eye on how the depreciate
 
I'm waiting for JCT Leeds to sort me a test drive in the Exige S. I'll do a write-up when I get a go in one. So far depreciation looks good. Nothing much below £50k on PH. It's been out for two years now too.
 
Had a look in one at the weekend - the only let down for me is the plasticky thud when the rear canopy is closed.

Is there a small sniff of regret moving the big cat on mate ? i did say it would take some replacing :oops:


No regrets Andy...

Good period of ownership and money made at time of resale..

M5 is a weapon.. Huge overkill as a daily car but I had to scratch the itch, I mean how many people have owned a V10... Lol..

It's hard to know what maybe follow though ..
 
A mate of mine had a V10 M5, absolutely loved it :thumbsup:

He only got rid because he couldn't justify the fuel bill - can't remember the mpg he got but it was ridiculously low.

That Lotus Zermatt linked to is lovely 8)
 
I think the original question is difficult in that the natural assumption on an upgrade is an improvement in power and build quality. If it were me with £15k+10 to spend I'd be looking more at improved exclusivity and a sense of exotica for my money.

Maybe an Evora…

…V8 Gransport…

…or the V12 DB7

A fairly decent 911 for the money could be okay, but for me would feel like I was blending in and conforming too much :lol:
 
One of these drove past me cycling this morning, as long as its the 400hp version it's not so bad on the speed side.. ticks all the other boxes..

Yeah noted, im in agreement, the F-Type is the best option but a few years away yet.

similar boat - but the boot is tiny in the F Type . I know the E89 owners will say we are being rose tinted - but its a tough call . I'm going to keep an eye out on Boxter GTS prices but thats more of an update than an upgrade.
 
Easy one for me if I had 25k to spend... Audi TTRS
Faster than Z4M
Easier to tune if that's your bag
S-Tronic with launch control for giggles
Cheaper tax £265 a year :wink:
And just looks... :wub:

RS is about as rare as Z4M I'd say so still exclusive :thumbsup:

I'll be wishing upon a star tonight lol :roll:
 
Is the fact that there is an Estate Agent Sign in the picture supposed to be ironic :D

Not for me and I doubt not for OG either (edit already got there) , I guess i can see the appeal....
 
RS not a bad shout really. even more "hairdresser" comments incoming though.

Zerm - im assuming the Coupe has much more space. I went to test a 35is and laughed it off when i saw the boot.
