Another "What car"!
Discussion
Hello Pistonheads,
Looking at getting a new motor in the new year to replace the current '03 Z4 2.5i.
Budget will be £13-14k~ max, however that isn't to say I need to spend it all
I would even be open to the idea of two cars (one every day and one track) potentially.
My criteria really are:
- Number of seats not important, being 20 with no children or partner I rarely need more than two.
- Fun, do a reasonable number of track days currently and a lot of weekend driving.
- Reliable. It is also my means of getting to work and back, around 10 miles a day.
- Anything else doesn't really matter. I don't really want to drop below 25 or so MPG though ideally.
Been looking at a range of cars in there including:
- Newer Z4 (facelift). 3.0si most likely. Toyed with a Z4M but that would mean spending a little more
- E46 M3. Liking the sound of this.
- VX220T
- 350Z. Even high mileage 370Z's are nudging my price bracket now.
- Boxster (S). Really high on the list actually.
... And then I really am struggling for ideas!
So that is it, over to you denizens of the forum.

996 911 C2. Great car.
Believe me I thought about it, but.. Everyday? I dunno, heard a few (expensive) horror stories relating to them.911 is the dream one day though
As for the Clio, not a massive hot hatch fan really.
That stance might change after a drive though, who knows.
