hi all
I’ve been looking for a decent z3 for ages but I still haven’t found one as yet. Engine wise I’m looking for the straight 6, and most I’ve looked are rusty and/or generally not cared for as much I would like. It would be a 3rd car to cherish and pass down to my sons when I eventually khark it. I’m still on the hunt so hopefully I will own one soon.
Thanks,
Al:thankyou::drinks:

Thank you for the warm welcome :thumbsup:

I'm always looking, ebay, autotrader, etc... And I've seen a few but nothing has grabbed me as yet. Ideally, I'd love a yellow z3, manual straight 6. I think they look superb in yella:scorecard: but as we all know buying a 15+ year old car there has to be compromises.

Hi and :welcome: from Warwickshire.

Good luck with the search. Good one's do come up but they are often snatched up quickly and also command a premium. Just keep looking :thumbsup:

Hi and welcome from Derby. As others have said, it's well worth looking on here because we are obviously enthusiasts who look after our cars.I recently sold a Z3 and looked around for a replacement. There are a lot about, but a lot are just awful despite beautiful photos and glowing descriptions. I ended up getting a Z4 because although I prefer the Z3 shape I do like some things about the Z4 and at the moment you can get a better Z4 for the money. Good luck with your search,I hope you find something that will put the 'zed smile' on your face.:thumbsup:
