Stunning colour, always fancied a Z4M roadster in that colour or Imola red.

Did you trade your house in as part of the deal?
I agree. But you don't see it from that angle when you're driving it

PS Z4M roadsters are ghey

I was admiring a Z4M just the other day, looked like a hard folding roof in black and the rest of the body was grey. Looks very nice and very low, the roof looks a lot shallower than the S2000 roof.

Agree about the angle of you photo's you've picked the worst angle to take a picture from. How about a 1/4 or side on photo.

The first house is my parents house. Used to keep the bike there.

It's not pretty but it's not that ugly either. What you need to do is get yourself a drive in one. You will never look back then and you won't care what it looks like. It's 100% better than the S2000 to drive. The engine is outstanding. Revs to 8000rpm and has a Vanos Kick just like the S2000 vtec is at 4500RPM. Loads of low down power also which was exactly what the S2000 didn't have.

I couldnt live with the looks. I'm a bit of a polisher (oo err) and so i need to have cars that i like the look of.

I'll never flog the S, had it for ten years now and my other car needs 4 seats. I still love the S but the 4 seater is an M3 so it gives me the grunt hit amongst other things (and a baby seat!)

Looks like an AUT to me

Nice choice on the replacement Putney, but looking at your old RNBP still makes me moist, such a good looking car the S especially in that colour.
