So dilemma time.

I just test drove a Z4 Coupe 3.0si and I loved it

However I have now found out that it was an SE and am looking at the Sport options.

The only thing that really bothers me is that the suspension is different and I am worried I will regret not getting a Sport version. However what are peoples opinions of the real difference on a non-track basis. Has anyopne experienced both?

I also have a Z4M coupe as an investment that doesnt get driven much so to some extent I will always find the 3.0si lacking in some degree in power or handling (although i was genuinely impressed with how similar it felt behind the wheel) but is the Sport spec a must have?

The idea behind this car is as a practical and cheaper to maintain daily driver, I'm wondering whether in fact the SE suspension makes more sense than the sport in London anyway. If I want to crash about and piss of the girlfriend I can drive the Z4M Coupe.


Also any general advice on buying tips MASSSIVELY appreciated.

Thanks

cheers guys..

appreciate it seems a bit boring to buy such a similar car (my dad has gone and bought a Z4M roadster so we are looking to end up with a funny car collection between us) but I just dont get excited by the one series, I dont want the an M3 due to running costs and issues, and I just love the shape.

The z4M lives 2 hours away so I cant drive it very often anyway.

Also I am convinced these will hold their value.

Interesting to hear another londoner happy to have bought an SE. I am leaning towards thinking softer suspension is not a problem at all.
