I'm in my early 50s. When I was your age I bought newish BMWs for a ton of money. Then one day I bought a cheap one as a second car and learned to work on it, it was more fun than the dear one! Never looked back. The enjoyment you get out of a car is not connected to the value. I have a £250 '99 RAV4 3 door (lots of snow here), love the thing. Can't wait for winter every year to put it back on the road. Then my Z4 and E30 come out in summer. Have fun, do crazy things!

I think most of us can still be grateful to have our health and our families with us. Many members here will be car enthusiasts, so will all be saddened to learn your selling your second car, it was leading to some fun and entertaining content. But this is a decision you have had to make for your own personal and financial benefit, so good luck in the future Joel, I'll still be watching in the future.

That might be a good decision for you and the channel. When I was looking for weekend 2 seater roadster the choice was quickly narrowed down to Z4, TT, Miata and Boxster. I think you’ll find that captures a much wider audience - people faced with the same choice. Even your friend Ben found himself in that situation and thoroughly enjoying his Porsche ownership. Having both cars, to compare and provide insight, would help a lot of people and surely attract more subscribers. I’m pretty sure I saw you eyeing a Boxster passing you in your last video?? 👍💪.

Even over things that, as you say, feel like 1st world problems. There's no point in a car ownership experience bringing you anxt as well as fun, you'll be able to find a car that you love for a fraction of the price, gives you more headroom for mods and leaves you feeling more financially secure no matter what comes next.

Sometimes a setback leads to other opportunities. I suggest that until things get sorted out you may try renting or having a dealership allow you to test drive and comment on cars they have on a lot. For example, rent a 'hatchback' drive it and compare it to your Zed or M240i. Or, see if you can persuade a dealership to test drive a car using your 15.5k subscribers as a marketing tool to bring buyers to their establishment. This will provide content for your KZitem Page and tide you over until your next purchase. Hell, for us foreigners, give us a tour of London via public transportation and your Zed to see which one would get you to Parliament faster from home. You got this!

Money is tight but im 48 years so insurance is 1/6th of yours. The Tax is cheaper than my old 1.6 Vauxhall. All i can say is thankyou for persuading me to spend £314 / month.

I'm sorry to hear this Joel. It sounds like you wanted this to be your perfect daily driver but it was unable to deliver. Hopefully you'll find something better soon 👍

Thanks for the support mate. It just wasn’t quite right, and then to be offered a sale, I had to take it. Will all be for the best!

A modern car like a 240i is never an "asset". Well, technically it is as it has a value, but it's a permanently depreciating asset from day 1, so not an asset in terms of an investment. There are plenty of appreciating classic cars, but a 67 reg BMW 240i is not one of them!

Gutted for you mate. I change my cars all the time in last year have owned Jag XF, Z4 2.3i, Audi TTS, Mercedes Eclass Coupe and 2 Range Rover Sports. I still have newish RRS and New Eclass Coupe if you want to drive either for a review (give you some access to other cars) after Covid let me know. stupid thing is my insurance on Eclass, RRsport and z4 is less than £500 per year (advantage of being almost 50 i suppose)

Good move to retrench your finances in these difficult times. Maybe later a Z4M or Z4 Alpina would go down well with many of your supporters. We had an Alpina Z4 Lux from new and they are a wonderful car. Had it for 6 years. All the best for 2021.

I have a new found respect for you after this video Joel. Tons of You Tubers flex about the cars they drive and the appearance of having loads of cash but most probably couldn’t fill their fuel tank most days of the week if they had to. There’s enough fake and falseness on YT, nice to see some real honesty. No point living a lie just for views. You’ve made the right choice and will be better for it, as will the channel. Good luck (and please get a Golf R...✌️📈🎯🙌💯)

Hi, what a beautiful car. The interior looks great, I would love to have one myself in manual. Imagine if they produce newer ones with a slightly smaller, thicker more sporty steering wheel, that is indented from the bottom. Nice little compact sports car. He looks really good in it, congratulations.

I’m not surprised. Not that there is anything wrong with it. I’m certain that it was not what you expected after driving your Z4. Well at least now you have had the experience and out of your system. May I suggest that you get a hold of a M2 CS just for test driving purposes and of course to create new and exciting content for your channel. Too bad they are exorbitantly too expensive for most of us to own one. I think from everything I have heard and seen, it’s a real ///M car.

I expected you'd sell it because the M240i as a daily driver it is too similar to the e85 (BMW reliability, BMW expenses, RWD, 2 door, 6 cylinder), you swapped an apple for pear when you wanted an orange. Ideally for a daily you should step down to 4 or 3 cylinders, 4 doors, FWD, fixed roof - the opposite of what you have.

Joel, it was definitely the right decision to move on and we'll all continue to watch because of your presentation style, your humility and your integrity. This was an incredibly open and honest video about your reasons for selling and no one can question them. Carry on with Z4 content and perhaps consider a few reviews of other cars but don't jump too quickly into another vehicle just to provide content. Do what's right for you.

I’m kind of getting the feel you would side towards a higher revving N/A engine as opposed to the M240i with its linear turbo six. An older more analog car most probably too. Living in London would say a 2.0 will be far more applicable to a 3.0+. RWD is a given as they offer a far more rewarding drive. Can anyone else see that a Honda S2000 is looking to be a really good candidate? The price range is really broad too with cheap leggy examples down the 6 grand area and low milers up in the 15k plus bracket. Defo worthy for a crowd draw to the channel too and lots of spare cash from the sale of the BMW to put away or modify the car .
