Would you recommend a Jaguar XK8 or BMW Z4?
I am looking to buy a convertible sports car to be used as a second car and to have a bit of fun in the summer months. I have £15,000 to spend and am considering either a Jaguar XK8 or BMW Z4. What would you recommend?

The Jag, mainly because the Z4 has terrible electric power steering (unless the system has been replaced by a later one). But while £15,000 gets you a late, old shape XK 4.2 roadster 2005 - 2006, it doesn't get you into the current shape. You need a little bit more money.
