So then, my Honda has now been sold.
Running my aged Berlingo as a family car now, it serves our needs.
I have a 2008 BMW Z4 2.5i N52 177bhp.
It’s nice but not A1.
Question is, do I sell it and buy the original M54 powered 3.0 Z4?

Downside with the older car, it’s not ULEZ, ours is. Plus it’s 5 years older.

Looking for a cheap, useable future classic that I intend to keep many years.
 
No. Not worth the hassle, there isn't much of a difference. Yea sure the M54 is quicker but they're all very old now so hard to buy a good one.

I think I’ve already come to the same conclusion.
The ULEZ thing is a major plus for the N52.
I think the current sweet spot is the 2.5si (the 3.0si starting to get expensive).

Ignored your advice.
It’s just an itch I had to scratch.
Bought a tidy original Z4 3.0i with just less than 100,000 miles.
Looking forwards to trying the M54 engine.
I currently own 4 BMWs :o
 
Need to change your name to BMWmart surely!

The Skoda days where from finding best value. Best bang for your buck.
It’s the same game but ironically it’s now BMW due to crippling repair costs.
(I fix my own where I can).
Got 2 20 ish year old motorbikes and 2 Z4s.
One up for sale shortly.
