So what’s ur intentions with the car?

If it’s a daily, then I think that’s a crazy idea, as car will become to expensive to run, depending on mileage u cover every day.

If it’s to use every Sunday then maybe an option or if a garage queen then financing it is also just a crazy idea!

This cars are appreciating but the good clean low mileage ones, the rougher ones not so much as they need lots of work done to them but I suppose as they get scarcer they will also appreciate!

I dailied my Z4M without issues for the first 3 yrs of ownership. And for those 3yrs it was a proper *daily* until covid and a job change meant I could walk to work. It's a pain to drive from cold, the clutch is heavy, the car is low so in heavy traffic it's not pleasant (fortunately I drove against traffic at my old job so rarely sat in bumper to bumper stories). The tech and sound system is ancient so you're not getting any of the latest infotainment stuff.

I wouldn't say it's undrivable as a daily, it depends on the commute. If you're doing a 30km clean shot drive with no traffic on a mountain pass into the office it might even be glorious. If you're sitting on a highway going 1st to 2nd and never going over 20km/h for 10km it'll be a pain (and probably wear the car down awfully).
