Hi Guys,

So I'm looking for a new car but it needs to be under 7 seconds 0-62 (ideally under 6) and need to be less than 10 years old with a nice interior and less than 70k miles!

Been looking at BMW 330's and 335's but cant seem to find a decent one with less than a million miles on the clock!

Also been looking at 350Z's but the back of them just make me want to puke! (such a shame)

Please help, any suggestions are much appreciated!

Also been looking at RX8 R3's but I think im just asking for trouble there!

Cheers

Mike (oh, and hi btw, newbie here! :-) )

I'm guessing about 10k from the thread title?

Wrt 335i, I would've thought there would be at least some sub 70k examples of these on sale for around £10k. I've been taking a passing interest in the prices as I'm planning to advertise mine sometime over the coming weeks.

E85 Z4 3.0

5.7s to 60, returns good mpg on a cruise as well, and a nice place to sit. Pretty sure they can be had for under 10k with less than 70k on the clock... Mine was 6k with 84k when I bought one last year.

Unless you need more than 2 seats...

The RX8 would in my opinion be the most fun. I couldn't handle the depreciation though if I was buying a late on around 10k.

I'd go s2000, with a hardtop for winter

Hi mate, yeah there are a couple dotted around but if im getting a BMW i would want leather seats and most of the extras. most seem to have wood interiors and no extras for some reason. also ideally the m sport.

What are you looking for for yours then?

Hold up on the thanks - it's just proved that the data's a bit cocked up. It thinks various Hyundai 4x4s do 0-60 in 4.7s!

(but yeah, basically it's pretty good anyway)
