Thanks for answering the questions!

Totally agree with you on what the car offers and how it still delivers a great experience - it’s why I’ve had mine 10 years. It’s not without its quirks, that’s for sure, but the package as a whole is pretty compelling in todays world. It’ll be a tough car to replace without spending a small fortune, another reason I’ve had mine so long!

It’s exactly why I’ve kept mine so long, to replace it with something “similar” but better basically requires a jump to Porsche or something like an M2 Comp.

Once again, another awesome video . Sorry to read you’re selling it. Got the same year Z4M myself and took a lot of your advices into considerations. Really enjoyed your approach to ownership. Keep them coming til you sell, please. 😋 Looking forward to your next toy. Cheers and keep driving.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I’ll be sad to see it go but I’m definitely looking forward to whatever comes next.

Glad I'm not the only one who detests parking lot autocross. The infield at Lime Rock is awsome but admittely I've only ever driven it in a kart, which I would still highly recommend. Best of luck with the next step.

The E86 Coupe is so much better looking IMO!

Really bummed to hear you're selling and even surprised you're hoping to replace with a Boxster S. Would like to hear more about that. I have an '06 Blue M Roadster with Stromung axle back exhaust. It's so awesome and I tell myself all the time I'll never sell but one never knows. I actually thought of maybe going to a Boxster Spyder in 5yrs or so but I can't think that would be that much more fun. Will be interested to hear from you when you get a BS...sorry couldn't resist. I'm sure you'll do a reflective video comparing the experience

@BuzzytheBlue Жыл бұрын

It would actually be a Cayman for me, I’m sure I’d love a Boxster to continue the top down experience, but my time with the roadster has really made me want something that I can use more frequently. My thought is to get a Cayman S and use it as an everyday car, as opposed to my M which was exclusively a special occasions/fun outing car.

Great video man, and super excited to see you starting this next journey. Will absolutely be following along. Not sure if I missed this, but are you putting it on Cars & Bids or Bring a Trailer?

@BuzzytheBlue Жыл бұрын

Thanks man! Not really certain at this point, I don't think it's the right example for an auction honestly. Given the modifications and slightly higher miles I think I'll just list it myself. In a future video I may even open it up to viewers at my "friend price" before I list it publicly.

Thank you! I don't really know the market for the non-M Z4s very well, I'll be looking to get around $26,000 or so for my M.

what are you looking at replacing it with ?

@BuzzytheBlue Жыл бұрын

For now, nothing unfortunately. Eventually a 981 Cayman S is the most likely choice.

@imaheatfan Жыл бұрын

I bought a Z4M partly because of this channel. This car... smiles and drama and approachable limits. Looks like an intake, suspension and short shifter, in that order. Thanks for the material and suggestions. Good times, @BuzzytheBlue.

I get the sentiment but my car has been maintained way better than average 😂 I have enjoyed it yes but I’ve also got like $7,000+ of maintenance receipts, rod bearings included. (And that’s all preventative, it’s never flat out broken on me) It’s only issue is that I don’t have the time to use it lol
