A bitter sweet post. After buying a Z4 E89 last year I was planning to keep the Z3 but it's been sat on the drive looking sad, so it's time to sell. Advertised on here first as I'd prefer it to go to an enthusiast.

It's a 2002 Z3 2.2 Sport in Estoril Blue with genuine unmarked 17" ACS TYPE 3 wheels and has done 134k miles. Runs really well and still feels tight considering it's 20 years old.

In my ownership it's had the following:
- Zedshed rear end rebuild (#ZedShed - Taffdaddys 2.2 schnitzel | BMW Z1 Z4 Z8 Z3 Forum and Technical Database - ZRoadster.org)
- Soft top replaced by The Soft Top Shop in Stockport
- Vanos rebuild
- Jack Royal steering wheel
- Replaced standard head unit with VDO Bluetooth/DAB
- Fitted Eibach lowering springs all round
- Replaced front shocks with Bilsteins (one was weeping slightly)
- Replaced MAF with a Pierburg
- Replaced inlet camshaft sensor
- Front windscreen replaced
- Front drivers seat refurb (didn't get round to the passenger side)

It's been serviced regularly by @Nodzed down at the Zedshed West and has wanted for nothing. Mechanically the car is sound but the bodywork is showing signs of age with a couple of rust spots in the usual places and has a few dinks, dents and a bit of lacquer peel but nothing that affects the enjoyment of driving.

Car based in Worcester. Please PM me of you have any questions.

There is also a Topaz Blue hard top and fitting kit available by separate negotiation.

Being a newbie I can’t PM yet, if it is still for sale please can you try to PM me, failing that I will send you my email. I am very interested in it.

Cheers
David

Yes so my first retirement day, I was down to three days a week, I took a train from Blackpool North to Worcester, to be be met at the other end by TaffDaddy. Given that I have not done many miles in a manual for some time he was brave enough to let me drive his obvious pride and joy, only ended up on the M5 in error. To say it exceeded my expectations would be an understatement, his commitment to the car shows and this morning I set to work on it, needless to say all I did was top the washer fluid up and then sit back and admire it. Mrs R and I have just taken the hardtop off and looking forward to driving with the hood down here on the coast.

I will start my ownership thread once I have recovered from the joy of being newly retired.

Great car that one. Had chance to swap cars with David for an afternoon on the Dale's run and apparently I had a smile like a Cheshire cat according to the boss, it had been a while since I had a spin in a 3. Drove lovely and a sweet engine. You have bought a right one IMHO.
Enjoy :thumbsup:
