Seller is near to where I live and has quite a few 4s and others, his cars always look really good but are always priced very strongly.

I think the Z4 E85 is a great looking car mate, that said and as Gaz said, it's a very subjective issue. You like what you like and whatever you like is the best car. I dare say that if you'd had a 4 before the 3 you'd like that more. Nice problem to have though.
In isolation, the E85 Z4 is a good looking muscular car. But, and I hate to say this, but a wide body Z3 does look great. I think there is more subtlety in the Z3 shape.
Is one better than the other? Both great cars in their own way.

I agree, i can go weeks around here without seeing a Z3, but Z4's are a daily occurrence.

Agreed mate. The 4 is more agressive from the rear but the 3 is more retro, IMHO. It's a strange World, we have an Allegro owners club. All cars need loving.

True - but a club for the Allagro is going a bit far :whistle:
The Allegro was the perfect agricultural vehicle. They always carried gallons of water around in the boot.

Not as good as the Austin Maxi.
Or the 1800/2200 series, known locally as the "Land Crab" The M.O.D. liked them though back in the day.

Seems as though those impure thoughts have left you, take your car out for a drive. You won't have any regrets!! JIM

Z4 3.0si Individual Ruby Black Last one produced in this colour combo
We changed our Z3 3.0 for a Z4 3.0si and it took me around 2 years to bond with the Z4 where as i bonded straight away with the Z3. Do i wish i still had the Z3 YES as a weekend toy only, Am i glad we have the Z4 YES as the 3.0si is an awesome machine. Its a car that can be used daily without having any effect on you and it is also great when you get it out on the twists and turns. If i was asked this question 2 years ago the answer would of been YES and NO. But 2 years after selling the Z3 i still wish we had kept it.
