Man! I'm so envious right now! Several reasons... one of which being the fact that my mate who paid most of the hire cost for the Z4 has gone out and bought one today! The 2.5 version! With the 'Sport' button!
Makes me

all you people with your flash cars and your flash this, flash that!
I want it! lol
Anyway, to answer your question Jonny, yes, it was SO worth the money for the hire, even though i only paid a 5th of the cost (he's a 'rich solicitor type' according to the hire company staff

) We had an absolute blast playing with it and it felt real good driving around with the Mrs, top down, scarf on! I could certainly get used to it! On the other hand, my mate
IS gonna get used to it! Lucky git!

I can really recommend these weekend hires, great value for money!
