OV9

I thought it was a gamble, but then I'm up for that.

Rev's place in Reading have got this Boxster atm, 2003 3.2S:

That looks really tidy.

Its interesting for similar power you can get in a slightly newer 265bhp 3.0 z4 si. Might even be a sought after car one day. Fun looking at 5k cars and seeing what potential money pits are available https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-BMW-Z4- ... SwxIldqzhl

That’s nice that. I like the colour. Sports seats would be better but not a deal breaker.

MOT history looks ok also; not driven much in the last few years though and probably need new exhausts.

What do you reckon? £4250?

'My' mechanic (who normally prefers to deal with old Lotii, american muscle and old VWs) ran a Z4 3.0 through the summer, and really enjoyed it - then punted it on for no loss, just fuel costs.

pick one with service history and sensible miles and if you have £4-6k kicking about, it's an effectively zero cost, fast, reliable, fun motor at this stage.

Give it a few more years and I expect they'll trough, then good ones will get rarer as they get expensive to fix, then start rising as only the good ones stay on the road - they're good looking, powerful cars, so will likely do the usual BMW thing of being common, being fucked, then being rare and comparatively pricey.....

That’s no way to speak about women!

I'd have a Z4 over a Boxster every time. No other reason than an irrational dislike of boxsters

Liking the Boxster colour, but baggy Boxsters? Madness.
Z4 coupe is Could you get a sunroof in them?

Are Boxster at about £4k actually going to be any good? Was chatting to my BIL who's looking at TT's, MX5's and others around that point, and we had a chat about cheap Boxsters...but all the ones I looked at seemed ropey at best...
