Ooops I've done it again - another long distance unseen purchase that I wasn't due to collect until next week. Despite the fact I keep moving back to a Z4 I always find myself wanting to come back to the Z3. This is a 2001 1.9i Sport in Sterling Grey with Classic Black leather seats - I do...

Bargain

There’s a very nice 2.2 the same colour as this for sale on FB. Could that be #20?

Nearly but not quite

No 20?

The suspense is killing us

Nice colour and spec should sell quickly Garrie.

Hopefully all will be confirmed next week but for now all I can say is that I am in protracted discussions with owners of the following:

An S54 powered coupe - nice example but not a Z3 (I wish) and the same as the first Zed I ever owned
An M54 powered 3.0i Z3 - again had one before but this one is automatic
An M52TU powered 2.8 - the pre-facelift version so been here before (on multiple occasions)

I thought that too but maybe, based on the way I buy and sell cars, my definition of a quick sale is different from everyone else's

Anyway I've just got the thumbs up from my mechanic (after waiting 4 weeks) that I can take the car in for a service and MOT so it might be with me for a while longer yet - it's only done 1,000 since the last MOT & service so I don't expect it needing much. Famous last words

Now on eBay but obviously still happy to receive a direct approach from any potential forum buyer

 

[AntStark]

Auction ! That’s brave . Don’t worry we can bid it up for you

 

[Zephyr]

we already did...

 

[RickyBobby]

That's another one gone - a positive eBay experience for once selling for well over my original estimate.

Have to say I do think the facelift looks good in Sterling Grey and this car totally changed my perception of the M43 (in a good way)

 

[AntStark]

I think that was spot on the money..sport model in a rare colour ..we missed a bargain there I think. Buyer is going to be annoyed when they join the forum . Nothing wrong with an M43..sometimes I’d prefer my old one to my 3.0

…..anyway what about that 2.8?

agree re the M43

Yes I must get an ownership thread up for that one - but between selling the 1.9i and trying to resolve a snapped bonnet cable issue I just haven't had time. Oh and I've been driving it around the Peak District

The 'thing' on the bootlid is a great idea. That will save loads on tumble dryer electrickery. Just make sure you get strong pegs.
