The new Z4 does look like a fun roadster. It does suck they didn't offer a manual with the B58 and have no plans for an M version. I like the styling and from the reviews, they got a lot right with the car and platform for Toyota.

I'm happily surprised how well my auction is going to this point. We just hit the bare minimum where I am no longer at risk of wife retribution for going no reserve.

This is also in stock at Century and I think is as close to an M as you can get (but wrong transmission) https://www.century-bmw.com/new/BMW/...40f622aae4.htm

Nice color. Boy, these sure got expensive. I think our 2001 Z3 (admittedly 2.5 engine) was just under $30k. But nice to see the Zs with a cloth top again.

My z3 listed at $38k back in 1998 and sold to my parents for just over $33k. In todays numbers thats right around $60k (based on google) so on the one hand its a lot of money, on the other its not that much different than its always been.

Holy shit I either never knew or forgot you can't even get a Z4 with three pedals.

Re: the auction—I think it’s going well because you’re doing everything right as a seller, staying engaged, answering questions, and adding detail when ppl request it.

Plus it’s a really honestly presented car, in nice shape. It’s a good combo for BaT.

I think the auction has a ways to go, and I suspect you’ll be quite pleased with the end result.

So what happens to auctions when BAT crashes (like it's been doing for the last 40 mins)?

Working for me, sometimes they have a very desirable car that bogs down the system, they usually extend auction time when that happens.

Josh I think (so far) it has been a great sign that this 2000 M has always been within a few hundred of your car. It ends before your finish tomorrow. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...m-roadster-60/

Good luck sleeping tonight! and best of luck tomorrow!
