    I can't think of any scenario where an old model S Class petrol is worth €7k in this day and age, or have I got it wrong? You'd surely be into a very nice 07+ model for this money

    Looks clean. It's times like these I wish I had a garage to keep a car like that in.

    Mileage is a little high but could mean alot of the post 100k niggles are sorted. They'd be a lovely yolk for the summer.

    The Z4 are really cool looking cars... Very James Bond in my opinion. I would love one but a convertible is not for me. I would have to put a hard top on it, but they never fit properly and have all sorts of air leaks, wind noise. I had an MX5 years ago with a hard top and it drove me mad with wind noise, I ended up sealing all around the hardtop with a bathroom silicone sealent !.... I never once drove it with the roof off.

    Art is art.
    Much more handsome than the open top and will be much more desirable in a few years.

    Art is subjective
    Looks absolutely nothing like an E type.
    That’s like saying a 3 series is a copy of a Cortina because they’re both saloons.

    I didn't actually know there was a Z4 coupe, first time I have seen one. I don't like the look of the rear of it, not a great looking coupe imo. I wouldn't buy it.

    Think its a smashing looking car. Inside and outside, especially if you consider times it was built in. Some really nice looking examples on autotrader.co.uk

    If you say no to this I think its a time to take up chess :)

    Shhot me down in flames if ye will, but the Z4 Coupe always reminded me of the Triumph GT6 Coupe.

    ebay835874.jpg

    Which I like and I like the Z4 Coupe too. I actually prefer it to the roadster TBH. Though I think the Triumph rear quarter windows are better realised as they follow the shape of the haunches. They look more awkward on the Beemer IMHO.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    This space cadet. Yeah its a coupe, yeah its rare enough, but 5k, absolutely not, if it was listed for 500 I'd still haggle.

    I'm also pretty sure the first time I saw it posted it was 400.

    Packs add cost obv, same as anything, but..

    Does that engine even have VTEC? I'm guessing it does not but I could be wrong. For a heavy car like that you would want the H22 lump from a prelude.

    SOHC, somewhere around 150bhp when new... so wouldn't pull your socks down at this stage.

    A brand new one landed for €20k? You are talking out of your hat!! It’s listed as £16k / €18.5k on vw uk, add on dealer charges, extra Irish vat and vrt and before you factor shipping it’s a lot more than €20k

    You are correct, I had a completely wrong figure of £13750 which I was working off.
