Anyone?

If it's an SMG box, which it will be unless somebody has retrofitted the paddles to the conventional auto, then it's rubbish. It's unreliable, jerky, and nothing like the system in the M3 which everyone raves about. Avoid.

Thanks Fox

What were they thinking when they designed this?

Volvo & Saab centre consoles always used to be ugly like that

Whats the Z4 like? 2.2 Any good? or is the 2.5 better? Had a look around one of these earlier and I was very impressed! Fox? What you think?

Morba · 23 Oct 2010 at 19:52

Of course the 2.5 is better, but then the 3.0 is better again.

MrKnifey · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:07

Just found a 3.0 on piston heads. Are these a good engine? Whats the overall standard of the car like?

Morba · 23 Oct 2010 at 20:10

Do a search for z4 on this forum, should return quite a few peoples experiences with them as there are a few owners on here

Try Elephant for the S2000. 24/5yr ncb is £900 last year it was £1300.

Hmm the Merc posts have got me looking at them now.

Alsways thought the sporty-ish Mercs to be more cruisers than out and out sports things, but still like them.

This has taken my fancy, I know they are kind of old man cars, but always liked this model

That looks great until you see the steering wheel. Age where effected by problems?

They were still using that steering wheel on the CLS until quite recently..

It looks nice, perhaps a little too nice for the price, then again I could well be about of touch with the value of them now.
