The e38 is surprisingly fun to drive. V8 grunt is refreshing / different, and it's certainly nicer to commute in, especially in traffic. Plus, I love the feel of sliding into the Z after a week out of town or similar, and the sound it makes on a cold start after not having run for a few days. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and whatnot. Now I have something to look forward to all week.
My new rule is that the Z stays in the garage unless it's going to be driven with the top down, as it was meant to be.
