Reply to: Wife is going to order one of those new Z4's

[norrahe]

This is the new Z4 with the metal folding roof, not the cheap old style one.

With the right options it's a £50K cost, so cheap, but not give away prices.

HTH

It's still indictative that you have no taste (make sure you order the indicators they're optional)

Yeah, he should have stretched it to at least include a crappy toyota, a brompton, a scooter and a bedsit in a london slum with a library of maths books.

I'm sorry to hear you've fallen on hard times. At least you've got a mathematical interest to help you get through it.

I see what you mean. I had a look on Autotrader and the Z3s are from £2,500; there is one Z1 1990 and that is £24,500, a much better investment.

I don't think so, the old BMW Z series are as cheap as chips these days.

I know but this is a DP thread so he is referring to a brand spanking new Z4M, no doubt, for his 'ahem' wife.

Look Boss, de plane, de plane.

Trying to convince her it looks best in white

To match the rest of the domestic appliances?

The sad thing is that being a millionaire, living in a country mansion and having his wife (does he even have one?) drive a Z4 is the limit of Dim's imagination.
Typical techie

Oops, I've wandered into the Fantasy section of Waterstones.

I used to have a Z1. Bought used in 1990 for £18k in Germany and sold it for £25 at the end of the summer. What amazed me was the reaction of girls, all of a sudden I was popular, certainly not the same as driving around in the Ford Escort.

You could drive around with the doors open on the Z1 a feature that BMW did not continue with on the later models.

Sorry, sasguru, forget you are unemployed and are trading down from a car to a scooter, and that others are doing really well might offend you.

Its nice earning money every time I reply to one of your inane, Walter Mitty posts.

[Bunk]

There's some serious self-loathing going on in that case.

[Spacecadet]

Are you saying they're married? What a scary thought

They are one and the same (Sas being DimPrawns sockpuppet and vice versa)

DP is actually buying it for his own right hand

I thought everyone knew.
