I've decided to sell my Z4M Coupe, its a great car. I have come to love the Z4M dearly in the past 18 months, if I didn't need 4 seats I would never change it, I'm sure I will own one again in the future, but it has to go.

I'm truly gutted; I didn't feel like this when I sold the Cayman S or the Boxster S.

Has anyone gone from a Z4MC to CSL. It's either that or a Masser V8 Gransport

I went from a CSL to a Z4MC then a Maser GranT S....

I was thinking of a Gransport and went to test one. To be honest stepping out of the Z4MC into the Gransport is a bit of a backward step. It feels like a an older generation car The steering is not as good and it feels a less connected drive. I couldn't do it so I bit the bullet and went the whole hog up to the GTS.

The CSL is one hell of a car. I still miss mine a true road racer and should hold it's money.

Z4MC to CSL would be my preferred upgrade route - mainly because you'll know most of the foibles of the S54 engine and the ins & outs of sourcing BMW parts.

If I had the cash, I'd buy my mate's CSL off him, but I don't and it's not for sale anyway wink

Is it an upgrade, I'm not that sure. The Z4M coupe feels like later generation of car to me, I prefer the Z4MC as a road car to the CSL, but I want more seats. I would honestly keep the Z4M forever if I could.

My problem is, I want something which is fast and good to drive with 4 seats, I can't go anywhere in the Z4 with my wife and baby, I'm forced to take the 318i touring if we go out together. A CSL will sort that problem and i,ll own a classic

I've looked at your ad a few times. Shame its just out of budget (and you're just up the road too)

Nice car, GLWTS.

You'll have to buy an older one with more mileage for that sort of money

I would suggest you contact BMW dealers with Z4Ms for sale in the 23k-24.5k range and offer to complete a deal prior to the end of the month at 22k. I am sure one will drop to meet an end of month target. Jan and Feb are the worst month for used car sales.

With a BMW AUC car you will get 12 months warranty too, that in itself is worth a lot of money compared to purchasing it yourself.

Yeah a used E92 M3 would be a better compromise imho.
