I drove a Z4M a couple weeks ago and ohhh man it was an absolute thrill. Top down in the crisp fall with 330 HP on tap. G od what a sexy car. And now I own one! Its red! It’s quick as hell! A nd you can sure bet I put that top down with a coat and a beanie to drive it home from the dealer.

32k miles and immaculate shape. It was definitely a summer weekend toy. I had it inspected and the shop owner told me, “you absolutely won’t find a cleaner one than this. ”

The only “ issues” are a little scrape in the bottom of the front lip from an unkind curb and some wear on the steering wheel where the PO’s hands usually sat. But I don’t care. This is going to be my DD so I ’m sure it’ll get more dings.

So, anyone want to buy a 55k mile, 20 16 WRX?? :)

Nice nice nice, I always liked these. Did you get the carbon leather trim and no nav?

Ha thought you might ask about that. Actually this one has both the alu trim and nav. Test driving it, I found that neither bothered me. I’m considering swapping the stereo out for a more modern one with bluetooth, if I do that I’ll snag some leather dash trim from ebay and do it at the same time.

Thanks! I’m psyched! Mi wife is less so... she says it feels like a claustrophobic rocket ship. But she felt the same way about the WRX and then came round to love it. So I guess pretty soon she’ll be stealing my keys for joyrides

Very nice. I heartily endorse cold weather top down motoring. Drove the SAAB to work earlier this week. Had to scrape the windshield before opening the roof ha. 45°f, one extra layer and gloves with the heat blazing was very comfortable.

Mmm yes and heated seats too.

Haha yes. Which sadly don’t work in this car. Of all the electrical problems I fixed in it since buying it in March, that’s the one I forgot to get to

Also congratulations, I do like those and the Z3 a lot. Actually any manual inline-6 powered convertible is good in my book. The 6cyl portion of the British portion of my fleet:

Missed this, so congrats!

My 2009  328i was likely someone’s weekend car as it was a single owner car with 40k on it when I got it in 2017. Turned it into my DD.
