New project! { 3 }
Since I am the proud father of a babygirl (Lieve) priorities are changing. The Z4 M is out of the collection and I still haven’t got myself a new racer. Instead I am looking for a Touring that will fit the needs. Like integrated childseats in the back. Or a retractable bootfloor for easily packing of all the stuff you have to take with you when going on a trip (to grandparents for example). And a new or other car is not even the most expensive purchase. Our apartment in the citycenter of Haarlem is just too small for a couple with a kid so we’re looking for a real, grownup people house now. My girlfriend only has got two requirement; enough rooms for us, Lieve and family that wants to stay for the night, and a garden. ofcourse I will ad one requirement to that; a garage! A garage that is big enough for at least two cars, my ‘82 Renault 5 Alpine Turbo Coupe in Calberson style (completely restored) and an Alpina or BMW. On the driveway (what’s a garage without a driveway?) my girlfriends car, my dailydriver and the aforementioned Touring will have to find a parking spot of their own. The fact that we are tenants (ofcourse, untill 3 months ago we were happy dinky’s) and therfor very flexibel makes it in these times easier to find and negotiate about a nice house that fits our requirements. In two days we will have our second viewing of two nice houses that are on our shortlist. So, if everything goes as planned I can make carplans before the summer starts and park my new racer next to the R5 in my own garage!
Well, with the B10, the driveway will need to be as large as the Humber bridge. And since you are planning on migrating towards my region i’m expecting it to blast through my city soon like Usain Bolt with an angry weasel in his pants! That is if your speed-addicted brain won’t decide prematurely to upgrade to the slightly more appealing, masculine and therefor the only right, v8 version.
Never-the-less i’m pretty impressed, very nice car! And it keeps Lieve from having a second babyroom in the darkened, rather claustrophobic boot of the Z4. Not unimportant indeed!
Mate, enjoy the car! (and move over here ASAP!)
Haha, we’re working on it, be patienced
Hessel, I couldn’t find any e-mail address on your site so just informing you via this reply that I just put my E39 M5 for sale. Looking at your nice collection I thought that you might be interested…
Kind regards, Martijn
