Just to say that I have sold my Elise finally

I still have a Clarion Sub, the steering wheel remote for the Blaupunkt radio and the aux in lead if anyone is interested

Are you happy with it? I have been looking round this month for a change of car.. There does seem to be some good value Z4's about..

Trouble is lose loads on the 111s.. Might pop in and see the salesman at F1 and see whay they can offer..

Very happy with it.

In the real world probably as quick as the Elise, obviously will not handle as well but does everthing on the box.

up to the first corner...

But the 3.0 is a great engine. If the design wasn´t so absolutely horrible

Like everything, it depends on who is driving

My 2ltr diesel compact gave the Scottish Elise guys a good run for their money

I guess only till the Z4 M roadster is on the market in a few weeks...with the same engine I have in my Z3 M coupe S54 with a 2004 E46 engine...nice engine, but the car feels only good when letting the engine screem and thats mostly at ilegal speeds...and I don´t want to loose my license again, so it has to go, but I love it still....aaaaaaaaaaaahhh
But then, I would love also a fast Exige, and driving 100 in that feels the same as 150 in the Z3 M cope...and that way I could get a ticket but keep my license...
