Bye Bye TVR..... Hello BMW
Discussion
After 2 years of ownership I've waved Goodbye to my TVR.. It's been by far the most fun car I've ever owned to date, while being the most frustrating at the same time.
Now the happy owner of a BMW Z4M.
Not quite the same performance but not far off, the BMW 3.2 straight 6 engine is really sweet, and all the mod cons are nice to have again

Nice, used to have a Z4 before the T350 and enjoyed it.
Would be tempted with a Z4M in future if I needed something slightly more sensible.
Funny, I swapped a Z4 Coupe for a T350C too. I only bought the Z4 becasue it reminded me of the lines of the TVR, but I had to have something "sensible" at the time. Would be tempted with a Z4M in future if I needed something slightly more sensible.
It was a lovely car, great in every measurable way. But its funny, after 6 weeks in London with the T350, I feel more of a bond with it than I did after 2 years with the Beemer - despite track days, trips through Snowdonia, the Alps, SW France...
I honestly wish you well with it. I always regretted not buying the M version. Hopefully that will make all the difference.

No more breaking down, no more worries of will it start in the morning, no more having to service it every 6k miles..
lol, I looked at an m before the 350, it is a nice car, tbh it's probably the only one I would get if not a tvr. had to scratch itch though after z4. Get some Remus exhausts on back to make it sound better, only advice SwampySi said:

Thats is true especially if it is your only transport but you forgot the one no more that would stop most of us going down that routeNo more sense of occassion.
Hope you enjoy it, it looks nice, great shape for a car and will hopefully tick all the boxes you need it to.
I like the Z4M. A lot. Unfortunately I'm too tall for the sports seats (left knee/dash interface - notice the new model has a cutout section of dash here). Thus I had to buy a 3.0SE Z4. That was a lovely car for mincing around in, only ruined by the ride quality. Ditching the runflats would have solved that, but I didn't keep the car long enough. Reason? I sold it to buy my T350T back again! LOL!
