BMW Z3 Chronik - finally!

http://www.edition-weiss-blau.de/BMW%20 ... W-Buch.htm

For true fans. I reserved my number years ago, and, eventhough, that at the moment, I am Zed-less ( :cry: ), I'm buying the book for sure. As well as I'm buying a Zed back! :)

Best wishes to you all and happy zedding,

Only a quick check of them took me 3h. (cca 3000 photos)
I have driven my Zed to the highest mountainpass in Europe (Col Bonete 2802m) and met the only Z3 on the whole route - on the road to the top. Epic. The whole trip simply cannot be put in words.
