Hi Guys, its been a while as i sold my Z3 a few years back. However, after a clear-out from my parents house I found our Z3 tonneau cover! Its black, original and never been fitted (My parents bought this with their car brand new). Its on ebay at the moment, item number 331117176882, I have been as ...

TREGZY

It went for 3800 bud. The first person that looked at it put up cash stright away and said it was far nicer than any other he had seen below the 4.5k mark. Its typical of this site to have only 1 interested member enquire, and some guy* above question the service history element (when its clearly in...

TREGZY

Sold to a very happy couple in Plymouth!

TREGZY

How can you say it has a full service history when you have written in a previous post that it did not have an oil/filter change for the first 50 000 miles :?: Misunderstanding at the time with my mother - Just like i thought auto rx fixed a misfire, but it actually needed 2 new coil packs on cylin...

Best of luck with the sale.

Now theres a man with good taste

TREGZY

dropped to £3895. If no sale, then shall wrap up in cotton wool (along with 300 gallons of petrol) and use it in my retirement years (from year 2048 if my maths serve me correct) anyway, i'll probably be dead by then....Sorry, i digress £3895... Can i just add that the pictures makes the Zed look ve...

TREGZY

Hi Guys and Gals, I have just purchased a larger family car, so its time to put the Zed up for sale. Sad day for me - but great day for someone else! I have just spent £600 on a full service, and in its current 'spoilt' state, its one of those that you could buy and drive it for 10,000 miles and not...

welcome to my world. see my 2.0 troubles thread.... cam sensor/maf/pipes/lifters/fuel sensor/crankshaft casing...none of them....it sends me to sleep. when you find the problem, let me know :shake: Have you still got the problem after all that ? :shock: sorry for late response(!!) but the auto rx h...

TREGZY

You remind me of when my mum bought her zed in 2001 when i was 16 - I wanted to change a lot of things on it, but she refrained me from doing so... and quite rightly so. The yellow calipers dont work, please change them back. From this mod, I would imagine you are in your teens, and thats nothing ba...

TREGZY

oh, just posted about these in 'performance'.

Maybe you could help?

TREGZY

I need your help here. I dont get the deal with the stone guards; not only are they god awful to look at (i would rather see a slightly chipped rear arch) but a lot of people put them on already chipped rear quarters, totally pointless if you think about it (your protecting a previously violated sur...

TREGZY

Great taste in cars there!

First car was a golf gti eh? assuming you passed your test around 17 years old, that certainly wouldnt happen in the UK, the insurance would be circa 2k!

Great car though without the ugly stone guards.

TREGZY

spot bollock mate.

The only thing i think you should do to that zed in the next 12 months is....keep it clean.

nothing else.

TREGZY

Wow, you love your zed, almost up there with the Y-man! I did the genuine carbon badges on a old black e36 BMW of mine....i spent ££££'s on the car, but they seemed to impress me the most every time i glanced over my shoulder after parking...if you get my drift! I dont think your car is sitting as l...

TREGZY

Oh get over it!

They don't like it up 'em pike!

TREGZY

It looks better than when you first got it, thats for sure. I can see where you've gone with the mods, and to some it would look very nice, but I actually did alot of the things you have done to your zed on my nova 9 years ago, so i find it all a bit dated, dimly gaudy and especially not very fittin...

TREGZY

wheels are not to bad actually, nice colour/leather combo. almost looks lowered, but i would guess the suspension is just a little worn?

overall, nice looking zed

TREGZY

your 30mm off a good looking zed there....

The night before After watching Toy story 3D (which was great, but doesnt warrant a 9+ on imdb) me and the missus had a nice evening drive home in the recently waxed and tyre-gelled Z3. Im not going to lie, she was running a little lumpy for the first time in years, and that coupled with the fact i...

TREGZY

I'm with you on the blue luminations, it doesn't quite suit the cars set-up at night.

Will post more pics in due course, that said; using my iPhone today with the standard USB cable was a dream... Either contolling the songs from the headunit, or the phone itself. Fantastic.

TREGZY

-Sits very nicely indeed.
-Dont like the colour of the wheels, but inkeeping with your previous cars garish mods i guess.

I thought the face lift 2.0's all had the wide mouth front bumpers?

However, im now 26!

Claiming on your insurance will probably increase future premiums/quotes by 10-15%, even if you maintain your NCB. Weigh up the costs...

I have always thought that if someone does this to mine, I would replace it with a red one...

I would also consider if you have upset anyone recently!?

TREGZY

It’s amazing to see the amount of Engineer-type jobs; a testament to the Z3's engineering to have you all driving it??!!

The difference between a studying part-qualified chartered accountant and a qualified one, is that Johntt drives an ZM, while i drive a 2.0!!!

TREGZY

Its always interesting to hear how people customise their zeds to meet their specific needs so thanks for taking the time to post up. You need to post some better pics though :wink: I thought i would try to give a little back, as i search this place so much... The photos on the iphone are bad, but ...

TREGZY

Chrome touches a little different and work well, looks in great condition, colour is best suited to e36 M convertibles.

TREGZY

Changing the colour? but theres nothing that i like more than viewing a M spec Z in estoril blue. Couldnt you have chosen another coloured car to respray?!!

Anyhow, i look forward to seeing how it goes.

TREGZY

Looks great, im looking to get mine cleaned up soon, but would rather take it to somewhere decent than bugger the electrics myself!

Paul

TREGZY

Hi All, I thought i would run through what i did with my stereo set up, as it may help someone whom is considering upgrading the, lets face it, rubbish standard set up. I believe that there is an optimum spend to achieve a great sound, while maintaining good value for money. My remit was finding a h...

TREGZY

The z3 is clearly the most beautiful!

TREGZY

so, in essence, if you have fitted an aftermarket stereo: You find the white wire that feeds into the orignal BMW pin loom, chop this and connect it to the remote wire that comes out of the new aftermarket headunit/loom. Or: If the aftermarket loom connection has a link up with this white wire from ...

TREGZY

Fantastically shiny zed, looks great, great ex/interior colour mix, although wheels look oversized for the car.

TREGZY

Bit of tomfoolery on picasa auto contrast or something similar? still looks stunning.

TREGZY

wow! My observations: -Like the wheels, best 17's ive seen on a zed. -lots of technical pictures, which I don’t really understand, and just quickly scroll through. -and the stereo sets us apart big time, and confirms that I now see that your a total purist, and it works (the extreme of this would be...

TREGZY

my usual positive/negative response... Helpful; Buy Clear side indicators here : CLICKY -The stripes do destroy the car -As a consequence the front lights border on 'chav' -The rear splitter looks ok- but, again, looks chavvy because of the stripes -Interior and body colour work well -The alloys nee...

TREGZY

Great Pic! very shiny zed, nice mods (chrome/de-tango), very clean.

Although alloys dont suit it at all in my opinion.

TREGZY

Well well WELL.... I thought the engine was on the blink, but after it was revealed that it didnt have an oil change for longer than recommended i went on a search - I found 'AUTO RX' http://www.auto-rx.com/images/product-image-2.jpg Its an engine cleaner, and has rave reviews. It was either ''fix s...

TREGZY

Like It :p

TREGZY

That is the best bit of modding i have seen on a zed. I use mine as everyday transport and love the comfortable ride with the standard setup but when i semi-retire it to being a sunny day motor i'll be dropping it 30mm all round and fitting a set of those wheels. Nice job. Cheers! The ride isnt to ...

I'll keep my eyes peeled for it, are you sure this is all you plan to do though? No temptation to add a few extra bits and pieces?

As long as i dont meet up with you, i should be fine.

nice combo, treat the leather with some cleaner and get it shining

Nice one, those wheels are "da bomb"!

nice one. Just read your post in the gallery- I thought I was being original in buying the jk's!

You have great taste sir.

TREGZY

Cheers guys, I really appriciate the warm comments. I will put up a coulple more piccies in a short while. I drove the Zed around south Devon today and I can't believe how well it drives with the eibach setup, although slightly spongey on the front end round hard corners, strut brace next me thinks.

After a request or two, I have decided to post a little picture of my beloved Zedder. The Short Story I went on a search for a staggered alloy set-up, 9j rears, 8j fronts and of course 18 inch. (17 = to much arch, 19 = to big) The early inspiration of the Inovit DTM or cruize 134 died after seeing q...
