I've been a member of these parts since picking up my shiny new MKV GTI back in March 2008, I read posts here a lot but haven't always posted myself.
Unfortunately the GTI is off to pastures new ... but the good news is I'm now the owner of a BMW Z4M Coupe, which is utterly crazy! :laugh:
I'm going to miss the Golf immensely, it's utterly brilliant and does just about everything you could want a car to do. It may not be the fastest or sharpest looking hatch in standard trim but it easily has the broadest range of abilities.
It's a brilliantly sensible car, but it was time for something brilliantly insane instead, which the Z4M certainly is! :)
I traded the Golf in with BMW, who I think plan to sell it on to a local dealer. If you're after a MKV GTI and spot a Red 2008 3dr GTI with just under 16k miles around the Midlands than it may well be my old one. It's a good 'un and was ran religiously on V-Power for every single tank from day 1.
Have fun in your GTI's everyone!

I've a BMW 2 seater in the garage.
It's faster than my remapped GTI.
I never use it.

Nice choice of car :wink:

Stunning car, i had a standard Z4 before the GTi
If its your only car and you need it every day, pray you dont get any snow.

Strangely I did exactly the same thing and bought a Z4M Roadster 2 months ago. The worst thing you'll find about it is the fuel consumption but the mad noise and speed soon make you forget it. I still lurk on here a bit as my GTI was a great car, and I kind of hope its new owner would turn up on here so I could be happy it went to a good home. Go and introduce yourself on www.z4-forum.com :smiley:

Golf GTI's are just so much better, day in day out than BMW Z4's.
Plus you actually look like a real plonker in a Z4 (unless you are a good looking blond female youngster)
Tough but true.

I have a strange feeling it wouldn't be just a Z4 you'd look a plonker in.
Tough but true.

Jason Stokes,
You might look quite daft too.
Jason King and all that.

Hi mate,
I've been over that way already to say hello, looks a friendly place! :)
Have to laugh at the mixed opinions of the Z4 :grin:
I kind of agree that the Roadster is a bit too feminine for me (sorry Incitatus :wink:), which is why I went for the Coupe. I also agree that day-in-day-out the Golf is hard to beat, but the M Coupe is the most manly car I've ever driven, 340bhp, rear-wheel drive, it's not as relaxing as the Golf, but then the trade off is that every drive as an event. It also looks a proper car!

z4m coupe is the sh!t.
