I currently have a Westfield, which I have owned for 10 years, and am thinking of a possible change. Really fancy a Z3M Coupe, but don't know too much about them, have been having a browse on here to learn as much as poss, but there is an awful lot to look through!
So, I think I want something a bit more refined than my Westie, but something still fun to drive, don't suppose anyone else has gone from a 7 type car to a Z3MC? I assume they are a good drive?
If I do get one, it would be at the cheaper end of the market, I would most probably be able to afford £10-12k, is this just asking for trouble and big bills?
Been reading about boot floors and stuff like that, but the biggest worry I have is if anything were to go wrong with the engine, as I couldn't afford £5k for an engine rebuild, so is it the case if I can't afford a bill like that then I shouldn't be looking at these cars? How much are secondhand engines if one needs replacing?
Apart from the worst case scenario, are these expensive to run? What sort of costs do you pay on servicing, repairs, insurance and fuel?
Any advice or links to previous answers that I have missed would be greatly appreciated!
