Every time I see a photo of a Z4 coupe I keep telling myself to go out and buy one.

I do really like the Coupe but I know i'd regret not having a soft top. Happily have one as my daily if I could still have a soft top as well.

Cracking photos Alan :thumbsup:.
I really like the Z4 coupe and I think I could manage with not being able to drop the top as long as there's air con.

Z4 Coupe E86 3.0 si
Thanks people.. l was looking to get a cheap 'project' Z4 roaster and never thought I'd be able to afford a coupe, but by sheer fluke this one came up locally at a good price. I used to like driving my Z3 with the roof down but unfortunately my girlfriend, who has a mop of hair, hated open top driving. Things l like about the coupe are the rigidity of the body, the quiet cabin environment (but you can still hear the exhaust growl when you give it some) and the great quality sound of the stereo. Nice to drive with the windows down but if she complains the car has climate control.

I don't like the runflats but it came with one pair of brand new expensive tyres so l will prob wear them down a bit then change to convetional tyre set up next year (already got an E46 spacesaver for the boot)

The car has had some bodywork repairs, the front nearside wing isnt the best colour match and my bodyshop mate reckong the offside of the car har been resprayed although l cant see it as hard as l look. There has also been a bit of work carried out on the area around yhe grilles but l think that kind if damage is common!

But there is no rust and the car is sound and mechanically good (80k mls) and drives great.. a very useable car which l got for what l consider to be a good price which l can do up over time.

Didnt realise they were so rare either.. only 400 3.0L si models were sold in UK over the 3 yrs they were made of which 365 remain (251 manuals and 114 autos)

M versions of the coupe are very sought after and sometimes used as track cars which can only put up the values of the unmolested low mileage examples.. now thats one car ld love to have!!!
