Trade Up?

[Tarheel]

I have a 2007 Z4 3.0si coupe with 56,000 miles 255hp, automatic, in very good shape.
Found a 2010 Z4 sdrive35i with 32,000, 6 speed, 300hp a couple of states over.
I would like the extra power and a straight shift.
Thoughts?

Yes thanks. Awkward handling with 0.83 skid pad performance. Strong engine and silky 6 speed.

Why not an E86 Z4MC? Drive one if you can. You'll know within about 30 seconds if it's for you.

Heavier car, more comfortable but you can also retract the roof and still have metal above you if/when you want it. N54 will require more maintenance than N52 but debatable whether its more or less expensive/finicky maintenancewise than say the S54 in the Z4M coupe.
