난이도 & 준비물

증상

I have been a relatively passive participant in PH over the years but I often find myself at odds with others in relation to my car choices. So, originally, let’s say 30 years ago, I was met with abject ridicule for buying a Honda NSX instead of a new Porsche Boxster. I still have an NSX. Moving on a couple of decades I bought a BMW i8. While I rarely dared to poke my head above the parapet here with that one, this usually elicits moderate trolling of the “it should at least have a B58 six instead of a baby triple” variety. Well yes maybe but it wasn’t designed to do that. You wait. I am hopin

Thanks for the compliments. I have to say I don’t get many derogatory comments about the NSX nowadays. It’s always incredibly positive. And it’s a delight to drive and be in. The i8 remains an oddity but it also nailed its brief perfectly. Which was of course deliver 911 levels of performance (albeit in that slightly off BMW way) by doing something different with propulsion. The i8 is also lovely to be in and so easy to drive - width aside. The Z8 is being delivered in ten days. I haven’t actually driven one - I can hear the OMGs straight away. But I fully expect it to be like a slightly larger version of my E89 Z4. In other words a bit of a barge and a woffly GT not a road racer. Not a great handler in other words but I was reassured by Harry Metcalfe saying recently in one of his vlogs that it was a lot better than he remembered it! Given that I am well past the yard arm (but not yet in the ground) this sort of meandering around at 6/10ths is perfect for me. I expect to like it and LH drive hopefully won’t bother me as it will be driven nearly always in Spain. To respond to InitialDave I understand that BMW said they would keep spares going for 50 years. Engine/gearbox apart it’s quite bespoke to z8 so they need to really. Some parts have been difficult to source but I have just bought quite a few trim parts off the shelf (in Germany) so things are available just pricey. And those that aren’t, the Z8 Club badgers BMW Heritage into making more…..
