Recently I was lucky enough to be offered what I paid for my 2011 BMW Z4 35iS 2 years and 20k miles ago. I was out of the used approved manufacturers warranty and never really fell in love with the car, to the point where I was a little bitter towards it and it’s depreciation, despite it being a very nice place to be every day.
I’m currently sat on my money, driving one of my parents cars (a 2014 poverty spec Polo) with my sights on a M4 waiting for the used car market to become a bit more sane.
I thought I’d start a thread and see if there is anything else I should be looking at test driving and crossing my fingers for. It’s a little awkward because I’m not really fixed on what I need in a car. I don’t have children, and whilst it will be a daily driver, my commute is tiny.
The only really must have is that it’s an Automatic.
Reasons I like the M4:
Convertible
Fast
Special (in comparison to a M440i)
Can fit 4 adults (I don’t need it to buy that might be occasionally useful)
Can get a used approved one with 12 months safety net warranty wise
Is there anything else I should be looking at?
I’ve considered a Golf R of some kind (doesn’t really compete with an M4 looks or Convertible wise), a TT-RS (out of budget by £10k), F-type (out of budget by £5k)
All suggestions welcome, I’m happy to broaden my horizon.
