Do it, you only live once!

I have 2 samsung galaxy S3's. Ive decided to change to a different mobile. So i went on to Envirophone's website and was offered £220 each. So i accepted the offer, sent one in there pre paid envelope wrapped in extra bubble wrap and in it's original box. I also paid £6.95 to send it special delivery. Next day i got an email saying they had received it and it had past testing. A few days later and the £220 was in my account. So i then decided to send the other phone, which unlike the other was perfect and had only been used around 10 times. I always kept it in its original box in a drawer because it was too large for my wife to use. Got a email today saying it had a damaged chassis and they where only offering £165. So out of principle i asked for it to be returned. Has anyone else experienced anything similar. I cant understand it as the phone was brand new condition and didn't have a single mark on it.

My Z4 has the optional M sport suspension, it's probably as stiff as i would ever want to go. So if the Z4 M is stiffer then its going to be a harse rid!

Yip, but i was only starting a bit of research on the Z4 M coupe and the Z4 3.0i Does that mean you got the wrong car? Again No, i'm really happy, cars mint. Best of all worlds, TBH! BMW, Roadster, 2 seats, great looks, great fuel economy, everything i want. Oh and ive already had folk commenting how cool it is, just like the 350Z, but unlike the E92! The only reason i'm asking about the other cars is for the distant future, better doing as much research as possible!

I think someone has a serious comittment issue!! Barely a few months into ownership and already planning whats next, hope you have a very understanding other half Months? 3 weeks!! Lol.

Yip, but i was only starting a bit of research on the Z4 M coupe and the Z4 3.0i

Yip agree, i'm just researching where i'll go next. Decided it will either be a z4 coupe or another 350Z or 370Z.

No chance, i'm keeping what I've got for a while. Then i'll either buy a 350z, 370z or a z4 coupe! What i wont be doing is buying a new or newish car again. Far too many great cars around for under a third of there new price. I'm not going to be the guy that pays all the depreciation for someone else ever again! My current Z4 is a 2009 and cost over 30k new, the previous owner bought it on a PCP, paid around £400 per month for nearly 4 years then handed it back and started again. I just bought it for less than what my 3 series coupe wold have depreciated in the next 3 years!

Been watching the prices of both the above cars for the past few weeks. There's really not much difference in price like for like. Only major difference is performance and running costs. The 3.0 SI fuel economy is approx 31 mpg combined vs 22 mpg from the M. Performance is 0-60 time of 5.7 sec vs 5 sec. Not sure of the tax difference and repair and servicing costs difference. But would the M be so much better over the 3.0 si. Also it's the coupe's i like!

I nearly bought that exact car a month ago and i was advised to walk away by everyone!

If it was my cash, i would have the post 06 car for the same money. If you can save a few thousand pounds i'd by the pre facelift. Alternatively, save more cash and by an HR. also its worth thinking about how a perspective future buyer would feel about the higher road tax!

RIP Mark, your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

He's just trying to put the fear of god into you. Really cant see how anything can come of it. BUT, SLOW DOWN!

When i was looking for a zed years ago, i saw one with those wheels fitted and i thought they were chepo multi fit alloys, lol. You live and learn!

Book it into a nissan body shop to get painted, then when you go to pick it up and pay the bill, ask for your keys as your wallet was left in the car. Then simple drive off and ignore any future correspondence! You'll end up having to pay the bill, but it will be fun having the shoe on the other foot for a while!

Contact your local authorities Environmental Health office as some LA offer the service free of charge. If not they may be alot cheaper than a private contractor. Also if you have mice/ rats there must be a food source really close to there nest. Make sure your waste bins cant be accessed and any neighbours do the same. If there's no food available, they will simple move elsewhere. Also block any access holes to your home!!

Hope you feel better soon mate! When i had my zed i had drove it into my garage. Next day i was going to check the oil, so i let the handbreak off and i was pushing the car out the garage whilst walking backwards. When the back wheels rolled down the 2 inch lip into my garage and the whole car speed up and i got crushed between my garage and the edge of my car door. I took the whole weight of the car right down the front of my torso and groin, absolute agony for days!

The traction control has a few settings. You can have it on, press once turns something of, allowing a bit of wheel spin for snow ect and press it in and hold it in for a few secs and everything is disabled. Thats on a manual car, not sure about an auto!

DVLA are taking forever to get my V5 to me so i can transfere my private reg onto my Z4. I think the delay is due to all the new cars being registered for 1st March. Hope you get it sorted really soon.

No mate, had everything else though, lol. The servotronic steering was awesome aswell.

The seat belt extender is essential. My wife simple could not reach the seat belt without it. The M sport is cool, but the sport plus edition is packed with extra's because it was the last of the E92's. I loved my door handle lights and the comfort access was great. Also i had the full connected drive system including phone apps etc. I could press a button, go straight through to bmw and ask them to find and send a location straight to the sat nav. I ould also send info to my car fom my omputer and it would be there when i got in ( music, routes etc). Here's my car, its only a 320i sport plus eition http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64893-my-new-car/

I had a nova gsi and loved it. I'd like one brand new though!

Welcome!

Ive test drove the z4 sdrive 20i, 28i and 35i in the last month. All are great cars. The z4 20i and the 28i are exactly the same car apart from the engine map. In fact they have brought out a z4 18i as of march with the lci. All 3 cars are identical, just that the z4 18i and z4 20i are detuned z4 28i. The 35i is awesome but theres also a 35is which is in place of the z4 M! I ended up buying a 2009 z4 2.5i. I'm loving it so far and it's great on fuel!

Not a clue if they fit a Z4 Stuarty... Yes they are rubber. Do you have a 350z antenna ? if you do you could try that on the Z4 I dont have a zed one any more mate. I know the citreon/ pug stubby antenna fit the z4 perfect, but there only 3 inch long. I'll try someone's zed anntena during the week and get back to you, cheers.
