I have a low mileage E85 Z4 3.0si which is long paid for, in great shape and makes 255 hp like the new Z4 does in 30i trim. But my car has the sweet N52 inline six motor, whereas the new car has one of those awful sounding 4 bangers. I know the new car has lots of features and improvements over mine, but I'm really struggling to justify the expense of ever replacing it with a G29.

Its particularly problematic for Canadians. If you want to stay in a straight six engine, that means the M40i or 40i. With Canadian pricing, after taxes are applied, the difference between the final price and six figures won't be enough to buy you a pizza and a case of beer on the drive home. I'm therefore expecting Canadian sales figures for this car to be an abject failure.
