Why I love my Z4.

[jpwbrown]

My husband doesn't understand why I don't want a new car. As the original owner I barely have 48,000 miles on it, mostly highway miles. Since its a 2007 I have gotten new tires, new battery, had mirrors repainted, 2 sets of windshield cowls/seals, new front struts, replaced window regulator, a $700 sensor and routine maintenance. I have had problems with navigation system, but other than that no problems. I love to drive it and still get a lot of compliments on it. People can't believe its a 2007. I have never had a car this long but why buy a new car??? Oh, I also got a nice black/silver enamel SIG car emblem. ;-)

Your original battery lasted for 8 years?

He doesn't understand it? He likes trucks? Doesn't get "BMW?" Not a car person at all?

Not everyone will understand one's passion for something.

But your outlet such as this forum puts you in touch with people that do!

Oh, he likes cars, a little too much. Has to get new one every 3-5 yrs. He doesn't understand why I don't want new car.

10- 12 years is a good minimum to hold a car... I got 8 years out of my battery. Virtually no other expenses apart from routine maintenance for me, but I have only 36,000 km.

I see. If you want to keep your car I would hope he understands that you want to keep your Z4.

How long have you had your current car?
