Title: Goodbye to the 2
Post by: XmadX on August 6, 2014, 14:22
Hi and goodbye to everyone on the club who has been incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming online as well as in person.

It has been a pleasure being part of the club and I am sad to say goodbye as my 2 has been sold. Took her for her MOT and found a buyer   s:) :) s:)  

Sad to see her go, but I know she will be looked after. She's never let me down and I hope her new owner will get as much joy out of her as I did.

Madi aka XmadX

My partner and I have got a Z4 3.0i together as a joint vehicle. We couldn't venture too far away from the soft top two seater club!

And oh no was it that obvious   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Do you think its quick?.......i drove a neighbours 3.0l and was a bit disappointed tbh and his had a few mods,my V6 Mondeo felt livelier....although i did like the extra space in the cabin and its looks,still wouldn't rule one out in the future,maybe the latest shape.....enjoy the new car.

I test drove one and was also underwhelmed. I liked it, but not enough to buy it at the time. Problem being I'm more used to turbos and the way they deliver the power.

I ended up with a 535d instead. Whole different kettle of fish lol. Love the way the Z4 looks though.

Even my other half nearly bought one -£500 deposit lost later - she changed her mind said it was not comfortable and although it had the looks, was drab and boring to drive - her words not mine!! In fact I think she said as much to you at Simply Japanese Day  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Aww guys. We test drive quite a few and I understand your comments. But this has full sports package, m-sport suspension and the drive is incomparable to the 2. It's a completely different kind of drive but for our needs it's more suitable. And I'm enjoying having a boot!

Enjoy your new toy Madi. I haven't driven one but I've had a seat and its a nice place to be.

Have you pointed the new owner of the '2 in ROC's direction?
