True, like with any RWD car there needs to be some respect, I certainly don't think they are a "widow maker" lol

I can't see prices mimicking the M3 CLS, that's just obscene.

Probably not a widow maker, iv not had much experience with powerful rwd cars though tbh.

Only thing iv heard bring called a widow maker, is a 500cc two stroke motorbike haha.

I'd say go for it, you'll have lots of fun, having had a 400 hp rx7 which was as twichy as they come but it made me a better driver and i was never bored with it, shame it got nicked and never seen again :(

Sounds mental that!

It was insane, it used to scare the pants off me all the time but i loved that about it.

Still looking into running costs. Tax is £500/year but can be paid monthly, servicing is expensive but I expected it to be high. Should be reasonable at a good indy though.

The surprises are insurance. Only £100 more than my vRS! Also for a full set of Michelin's its only £600. They are around £400 on the vRS!

 

Seriously considering one now just keeping my eye out of a tidy one. I'll probably wait until March as by then I'll have a bit more saved. The scary stuff is things like engine. If that goes pop it's as much as the car to replace.

Although I have just had a bad experiance with a BMW and its Auto gearbox, when it drove well it was fantastic though

Get it bought

March is a good time to buy a z4m tbh. Although prices may go up slightly because the good whether is on its way, its a good time to be driving one.

Should be abit warmer than the next few months, n if you're anything like me youll get too tempted to boot it haha.

Here are a couple of forums that might be of interest;

Impressive car and good value with it. Usual precautions about RWD cars with good power to weight ratio apply.

Doing some research and a familiar name popped up to those in the Fabia 1 section. Haven't been around for a while but seems they haven't changed a bit.... :wonder:

My mate used to drift his around whilst he waited for his SWMBO to do the shopping. He loved it, and ot was brilliant to watch haha.
