Write Up New Z4 samples the Peaks

[Paul Rice]

Car due back tomorrow after a full weekend, so after the excitement of Cadwell the piece and tranquillity of the Derbyshire Peaks. Having the 3.0 Motorsport edition with a staggering 8k of extras comes out at an eye watering £50,000. The car is powerful, very powerful and not to be confused by one of the several badges on the boot lid its a 4 pot 2 litre (258 bhp). Strictly auto at first seemed strange but having the car over the weekend on lots of differing kinds of motoring i'm a convert. My biggest question would probably be, would i have had as much fun and enjoyment out of my Z4? some £47k less, well probably but it was very nice.

Thanks to Ken and Sharon for joining us on our little run out, and guiding us around some of the great roads of Derbyshire.

It looks lovely in white.

Who's going to be the first on here to buy one?

Or has someone already got one?

I'm surprised I didn't see you as me and Sara were lurking about in that part of the world today. It was great as the roads seemed strangely quiet .

Looks a big beast next to the z4 Paul and 50k. Good pics, we know those locations well

It is bigger than the E85, but not that much. Perspective makes it look like that with the old car behind it!

Would need to sell some vital organs to buy one.

Very enjoyable day out, met at the Oil Can Cafe, Holmfirth for breakfast where you can see cars undergoing restoration and a variety of cars for sale. After that it was a cruise over the Peak past the Derwent dams and on to Longnor for a cafe break followed by a final stop at Carsington via some quiet little lanes.

Nice pics Paul. Got to admit it is growing on me a little, especially the white.
