Last couple of weeks has given me real thoughts about getting a Z4 next year.
1 - seeing by the current maths I don't do enough miles to justify 2 cars
2 - putting down £20k on a hard top Z4 is too much
3 - A few occasion in last week in wedding/shoots I ended up needing the rear seats for clients, I can't exactly ask them to walk! This is the more important part. I found out that at times, I actually require 4 seats, even for 30min. I had the groom in the back seat on Saturday to drive down 300 yards with the bride in the front. Can't do that in a Z4.
I was going to get a Mini Cooper S as a stop gap to a Z4 until the hardtop version comes down a bit more but one of relative age cooper S (2008+) isn't cheap for what you get and tbh, it's Not that different to my Yaris and I think it is more a side step, not leap forward.
So now, even though it is about 6 months before my 1 year NCB here, I am thinking a 330 or sorts convertible? Best of both worlds? I wanted that convertible, and the 3L engine in one with 4 seats.
Or are my logic flawed?
