So they are. Got them from here;

Bit confusing as it says 3.5 in the title but Displacement 2979 cc.

 

I'm not a BMW fan but I must admit when I see a Z4 on the road they're not half bad and probably lovely to drive.

 

I'm sure you'll have fun. :)

Very nice Mathew, I've been eyeing up the m-coupe hardtop but told I won't fit so looking at the 135 instead. Quality motors though, I'm sure you'll love her.

 

I was thinking of visiting Trainers in swansea tomorrow to look at them - you've twisted my arm now.

 

BTW, when you need service there is a great BMW specialist on Fabian way, half the price of the dealers and genuine BMW stamp. Its the only place I'll take my BMW.

If youve not been in one yet i think youl be surprised with the amount of room in one. Im 6ft 2 and drive the supra with the seat set right back, i found there was more leg room in the z4 when the driver seat is set right back in one. Infact it felt as though it was too far back.

I felt like some sorta 2 seater roadster and test drove a boxster, s2000 and the z4. They were all nice but the Z4 just felt more 'right' if that makes sense.

With all that in mind though i will defo miss the supra when it goes:(
