Tim I have a Z4 3.0si sport coupe which I use as my every day car - and I love it. It's more than practical enough for me - decent boot space, and I get pretty much 30mpg overall. I bought it with 6000 miles on it and it has now done 35k, and it's been faultless. I still look forward to driving it e...

It depends on how you're planning to use the car. If it's an every-dayer, then I'd go for the coupe. If it's a more of a weekend toy, go for the roadster. Or, as others have said, get the new one if you can afford it!!
