I find the heated seats in the Z4 are a little more "refined" than in the Z3. By that I mean they seem, to me, to give a more all round heat throughout the whole seat.

My place is starting to look like a 90s BMW dealership as I've 3 now as I have the Z3 for summer plus a E36 Compact Ti for winter and I also bought a lovely E36 cabriolet last autumn as a winter project.
The cabriolet is a real nice low mileage rust free car (so are the other two) but I just don't have the space but I'm quite lucky as my father is so impressed with it that he now wants it so it's now going to a good home and he's just going to use it as his summer car.

It's the reverse with shoes and handbags. Sounds a fair thing to do
It's not the quantity of cars a person might own it's the upkeep and outlay Keeping them on the road.
All those road taxes insurance MOT servicing general consumables fuel increase garage bills .
They are getting so expensive now days a down size of cars is inevitable at some stage.

I use the word cars in the broadest terms @Tracy Dee as most are twenty years old and downward. Some run and some are simply being saved from the shredder for someone else to restore. I enjoy helping local kids interested in old cars by donating them one if they show enough interest and also provide them with parts if I have them. Several cars from the fifties and sixties are now being used in summer by these young gents and are their pride and joy!! There's a young fellow borrowing my z3 to take his girlfriend to her grad this June, he fell in love with the car the first time he saw it!! JIM
Nice work Jim.
Just something I've alway done @PHILIP BAXTER helps keep the old ones on the road and gives the kids a goal to reach for. I have a 28 Ford Model A made into a roadster style that was built by my friend's auto class in BC that I have to pick up. They provided the labour and I supplied all the parts. It was supposed to be a drag race car for them to use in a program through school and once it was completed I have another of the same bodies so they would have built two cars and could have an in school competition but the higherups decided to go a different direction so I now need to drive out and pick up car one along with a shed load of parts I have out there. I was going to donate the cars to the school for an income tax donation so they could have used them as a teaching tool for many years! Oh well, JIM
Good price too. Saw it on eBay. Result!
You can only try Jim. Don't let the so-called grown ups spoil all the great work you've been doing with the kids.
I bet the local kids have a far greater respect for you than those " Higher-ups ". I would have loved to have an opportunity like that when I was in school. Well done mate.

It has its bonuses @PHILIP BAXTER when the kids I've helped or taught woodworking to show up at our Legion. It usually means a free Guinness or two as I catch up on their lives since! Turned a few troubled kids around just by showing them an outlet and several have actually turned what they learned into a career. Makes it all worthwhile and I love doing whatever I can!! JIM
