Potential new owner - Hi
Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2019 5:18 pm
Hi all,
I currently drive a 2006 BMW Z4M Coupe, and have done for the last 6 years now. Feel like a change, and am looking at picking up an F Type R Coupe in the new year (Feb~ ish) and have a few questions!
I am looking at a 2015 AWD R, budget c.45k. Would consider RWD if price is good enough, but think I want the AWD as I will daily the car for 3-4k miles a year (winter included).
As for the questions..:
What spec items can't you guys live without? I know I want the Pano Roof, but otherwise not sure what else is worth seeking out.
Any common issues I should be aware of when purchasing?
What are general running costs like? Tax is same as the Z4 so fine, MPG is about the same, as is insurance. But what are parts prices, servicing etc like?
Any help as I look at making the change greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris
