I convinced him that he did not want an ///M. He wanted more of a commuter car (better gas mileage) but he wants a Z4.
So, I found another 2007 3.0i with 22K miles with most of the options (no nav, plus in my book also)for $16K. It has imola leather inside and ///M seats. The only thing he does not readily like is the imola leather...
He and the owner are talking now....
