I did say 'generally'... because it's generally true in convertibles. 30lbs is hardly anything. Still doesn't make the roadster a workable car for my situation.

* Worldwide E86 Z4 Coupe total: 17,094 So, the ratio is: there are more than 10 times as many roadsters as coupes. It's not about the M --> it's about the shape/body/torsional rigidity etc. Of the coupes: * Coupes (non-m) = 12,819 * M Coupes = 4,275 (North America 1,815, rest of world: 2,460) * E86 Total = 17,094 |

I'm not worried at all about value. There are people out there willing to pay the price for a nice example. I think it will do better than the Z3 M S54 on account it's the last of its kind in many ways.

Further to that, last year one sunny day I drove in to the dealer to pick up some wheel cleaner in my 3.0si roadster. A salesman struck up a chat about the car and commented that he had so many requests recently for an E85 - and NOT the current E89, that if he could have gotten his hands on a dozen he could have sold each and every one of them in a week.

LOL, good point!
But his was an earnest comment. He had gotten a lot of requests for E85's as second summer cars for folks but couldn't get his hands on any. My service rep who is a solid no BS guy, agreed and noted that he had also been asked about the availability of used E85's in good condition.

We didn't use the term "E85 / E86 during our chat, but instead referred to "the previous canvas top Z4" or words to that affect. I've used E85 / E86 here because most forum folks use that term.

Reminds me of the time I asked them to check for steering fluid leakage, only to be told that Z4s don't have hydraulic steering. I educated him about the difference between the 3.0 and ///M, but he assured me I was mistaken. A few hours later, I get a call informing me that I was indeed correct. Thank god for that; I was beginning to doubt myself.

Surely Huz, there are not ice-bergs there everywhere? ;-) aesthetics, glad ur universe didn't crumble when the guy told u you didn't have power steering, not too sure, but recon that would have left me with a WTF feeling ;-)

There is a really nice berg right outside the harbour but it's been obscured by fog last night. I'll see if I can get you a good pic tomorrow.
