PieFacE Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Was hoping I could get some advice and opinions from you all. I'm in the market to buy a new car, and I've been looking at BMW 1 Series cars for a looong time now and wanted one. Though, when discussing it with people in the pub, they informed me I should get a sports car. Mainly because, I'm 25, I'm single, no kids, and it could be my last chance in a long while to own a sports car. So I started looking at BMW Z4's. Whilst I do rather like the car, I can't help but feel it's a little.... "girly". So I was hoping for a general opinion by the VT genius's which you all are. I'd also like to state I know absolutely nothing about cars, so if anyone has any feedback on the car that would be cool.

Would you really judge someone by the car they drive? Edited April 30, 2013 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you really judge someone by the car they drive? Put it this way. I personally wouldn't ever buy a BMW. Not because there's anything wrong with them as cars, but because there's a certain reputation that comes with driving a BMW, and that reputation is being a word removed. Obviously, I'm not saying that most people who drive BMWs are words removed. Far from it. But it does seem that most words removed drive BMWs.

You're very much entitled to that opinion. Though, it's the wrong opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would also say that, putting my BMW = Word Removed opinion aside, there's better sports cars you could buy than a Z4, for the same sort of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 Purely from a design point of view, the Z3 looks far tidier than the Z4. Reminds me of when Jaguar brought out a 2+2 E-Type, it just looked wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you made a venn diagram of flashy show offs against people who drive convertables then you'd be left with just the single circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm open to ideas! Well I'm not really a car nut so others might have better suggestions. But I guess it depends what you want to spend. A half decent Z4, you're looking at what...£15k at least? You could get a very decent S2000 for that or a Porsche Boxster or something a bit different, a AR Brera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2013 Z4 is anyone's car. A Z3 is a girl's car, unless it's the Z3 M Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm yet to even find a Bavarian Muck Wagon that I think looks good. And a good proportion of them are driven by absolute tossers, though the percentage is on the decrease as many tossers have switched to Audi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
