I know what u mean mate, TBH I preferred the look of my zr to the standard state my zs was when I got it. IMO, the fronts a little plain looking. For me the mk2 grill and 45 lights make a whole load of diffference, either that or just buy a mk2 Werent you after a bmw ?

Exactly yeah, the front is lacking something!
I've had a look at bmws but they don't tickle me like they used to. I've been driving one for the past month and it's very functional, but as JC would say, I wish it would just put its hands down my trousers and have a rummage!
If I don't buy dads zs, I'll get something else completely. The critera is practical fun. It's only a weekend car for me anyway as I won't be at home this year during the week much (away training).
It's a good deal, especially considering I know it's been looked after extremely well.

Sounds like youre not that intersted in the car tbh. Seems that youre only considering it cause its available, cheap and you know the history... not because its a car you really want to own, or have any passion for.
They are great cars though, and you might love it if you owned one. But, if youre bored of its appearance before you even have it, then thats not a good start.
My advice would be to get a car you really want, not the first that gets offered to you. Im sure the ZS will go to a good home

I think you're right, although I have huge respect for the car, I don't think I want to own her myself. I think the main aspect is the front end looks, I'm very fussy about my cars exterior aesthetics (ask Craig) so that's as gooder reason as any. If it were a mk2 I would snap it up no questions asked! I would also be worried in a years time it will be worth peanuts due to the ever increasing tax and fuel.
As said though, thanks for the input guys, your advice and a good nights sleep has helped me to come to a decision (i think haha!).
I'm looking at a couple of zr160s and a clio cup today so fingers crossed

Better the devil you know At least you know what you are buying but also remember next year it will be 6 years old, so will require the cambelts/90k level of service.Get your old man to drop it by £600 and strike up a deal
If you prefer a mk2, also bear in mind the availability of certain body parts if the need ever arose.
I like the mk2 for its bodykit and revised interior, but prefer the mk1 for its build quality and rawness.

I'm happy with my choice

As long as you are happy, that's what counts. So what spec is it?
