Loving the pics. There seems to be more BMW love on here than for most other marques, and as much as I liked (most) of mine, I am glad I am back in a VW personally.

I also agree with the concept of swapping motors regularly. There are so many nice motors out there, why restrict yourself to one or two for years and years?

All these were good

The Z4mc was a bit of a unicorn as it was absolutely tuned to the ****** with the s54b32 engine and 30k worth of mods. I have a hard drive full of build pics.

The g40 is probably the most fun on the road though as it is so much quicker than a lot of people assume!

What was worth doing to the z4m handling wise?

Definitely like your MK2 Golf.

My current car list (past and present) is as follows:

Triumph Spitfire (green)
Ford Escort (green)
Vauxhall Corsa (red)
Vauxhall Corsa (blue)
Triumph Spitfire (yellow)
Peugeot 206 (red)
Mazda RX8 (black)
Ford Fiesta (blue)

I'm thinking of getting an older Jaguar X-type or S-type next to change things, depreciation is horrendous on newer cars.
