Hi all,

I come to the forums again as my Z4s life has come to an end. Struggling to keep the car as a daily due to limited boot space and not being able to have the roof down with my golf clubs in the boot.

After something where I can keep my golf clubs in the boot whilst having some space for a few shopping bags as and when needed.

Requirements:
- Reliable (Z4 had 2.5 engine has been fault free for my ownership so far)
- Fastish anything under 8 seconds
- Only do between 7-8k miles a year therefore no diesels
- Big enough boot to keep golf clubs in there semi permanently with some shopping

Everything so far points to Octavia VRS looks like I can get the last MK3 2018-2019 70k miles for about £13-£14k. Unforunately no B58s in budget else that in the 4 series Grand Coupe/5 series spec would be picked up. Open to any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

My golf clubs live semi permanently in the boot of my 1 Series Coupé - along with the electric trolley - so not sure you need to go up to a 4/5 Series to make them fit. I have to take the trolley out if I want to put shopping in the boot, but most of the time that just goes in the back seat.

Unless you've got a staff bag or huge trolley bag an M235i/M240i should fit the bill perfectly I would have thought.

The Petrol Octavia vRS wagon is usually the answer to this or similar questions.

I had three. They are roomy enough, quick enough and family / golf / dog friendly enough for most people.

Highly recommended.

Provided you can charge from home a Tesla Model 3 is a very strong shout.

You’ll get warranty on the battery for 8 years or 150k miles.

More performance, better handling, cheaper running costs (check insurance) and way easier to live with.

Have the frunk as well for fitting additional shopping bags around your golf clubs.

On an EV tariff you should save around £1000 a year on fuel costs.

I like the 4 series GC idea, but I am biased.
