You beat me!

I was in a similar situation when i purchased mine. I had just sold my z4c for less than i had wanted and intended to save some more to make the purchase comfortably. The perfect one came out and i was able to negotiate an amazing deal. completely tapped me out at the time, but well worth it i would say!!

Agreed. My dad's youngest has 2 more years left in the house, then it is 911 Turbo time for him.

I am 57 year-old single father. I have a 9 year-old and an 11 year-old. They ride in the Accord. Occasionally, I leave one at Grandpa's and take the other out for a ride.

I'll be 65 next August, but I find that my Z4MC makes me feel (and act!) like a teenager. Also improves performance in other areas!!!!

Goodspeed = Godspeed.
Therefore Goodthrust = Godthrust. Wonder if your car's acceleration is up to par in comparison? Gotta get the wife in on this one

it's refreshing to see the mental maturity of zed owners - having come from an e46m3 where, regardless of age, many seemed to have the racerbrah mentality.

here, in no particular age bracket, everybody seems to be very mature and with the exception of our resident instagram/fb photo celebrity, most individuals with mods have them for functionality purposes/track.

i'm a big fan of the community i joined.

It's funny to see the drop between 35-44. I'm 37 - and thinking its because some have young kids so can't keep the z4 - need to drive a fat sedan.

Damn we are twins.

25 as well. Coming from VW and M3/ 335i world. People are dicks in the E46/E90 scene, and the VW people are 99.9% stance idiots.

This forum seems pretty professional. I have learned a lot about my car here, and forums heavily influence my car purchasing choice, because it reassures me whether I will have support or not if something goes wrong, or if I want to mod.

+1. This forum has been a gold mine of information. It has totally transformed the performance car ownership experience for me as my job requires that I travel frequently and it would therefore otherwise be difficult for me to participate in a car community or club.
