We have already spent more time talking about what car to buy than the amount of time you will own it… Buy the M. I have an older client/friend looking to sell his black 2001 Z3 roadster 3.0 I believe, with like 30K babied miles on it. If that interests you let me know… ---

I 2nd this, coming from the N54 platform. The n54 does make some decent jam for very cheap. Pick up a used jb4 and make 400whp all day for less than 400$ ---

The Z4 is more comfortable and less high strung than the S2k. In this case I think you’d be happier with the Z4. Both are nice cars, plus I doubt the Z4 will be troublesome as long as you maintain it. ---

Yeah, but it’s hard to beat the driving experience of hitting some back roads with the top down on the vert. Besides from inside the car you can’t see it anyway. 🙂 ---

I’m not trying to sway Beck into getting a coupe. I simply posted it because I think the rear end styling looks proper where the roadster design kind of feels like an afterthought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---

Why don’t you look into a Mercedes SL500 or any of those high quality German roadsters. R129 body styles and up. They have decent performance, IMO look great and are very reliable.
