Awful seeing it drive away. Never seen anyone drive it before and it looked so good from behind.

Sold it to a decent chap though who is into his Ms - had the softer American version when he lived over there.

JohnSmith

And it's gone.

Matt, the AT idea worked, thanks for that.

There's a topic in the M forum too. Just in case people don't look in there.

Cheers.

I'll stick it on AT soon I think. Had a fair bit of interest. A few time wasters who have asked me questions that are actually in the ad...

:) youll be lucky John - If i keep a car 5 months theres something wrong :lol: Nah, this one may well be mine still in 5 years; I just love it.

JohnSmith

I know Evolve in Luton have done a lot of work around remapping and IIRC they helped develop the Simota kit. According to them the 321 BHP quoted that the S.50 is meant to produce is a little ambitious. It may be worth speaking to people who have had work done at Evolve to see if there is any real g...

JohnSmith

Thanks chaps.

Matt, my plan is in 5 years time to buy the one you have now so I can go back in time

1998 M - 19k miles

JohnSmith

Hello all. Mine's up for sale for anyone who is interested. It's a rather nice example with only 19'100 miles on the clock. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2953217.htm The photos are when I first got it but as just as good as any I'd take today. I managed to put up several different prices at first...

JohnSmith

Fantastic work, Gentlemen. Thanks for the help. Managed to order them through BMW. It does beg the question why on earth could BMW couldn't figure out they could source them when I went and spoke to them. It reminds me when I was in an Audi garage a year or so ago. The new RS5 was out and I asked th...

JohnSmith

Yep looks like part 2. Need to find somewhere that sells them. BMW won't do them separately.

JohnSmith

BMW will only sell the whole kit. This is being a troublesome find.

JohnSmith

Hello chaps, I'm sorting my car to sell and it appears as if one of the bolts / screw from the front of the hardtop has gone - the part just above the A-pillar above the windscreen. Does anyone have one or know where to get one? I don't wish to buy a whole new fitting kit for one piece.

JohnSmith

I think I'm going to have to sell my Z3M in the next few weeks to fund some other things :/

JohnSmith

I did flirt with the idea of selling this winter to get an M5. That was when my car was SORNed and it wasn't sunny :sunny I think I have too-strong-an-emotional bond with the car given all the circumstances around its purchase. Train journey to Liverpppppooolllllllllllll with my new (at the time) Gi...

JohnSmith

Very nice

Is the tent you had the E36 in being used once more?

JohnSmith

That is nice Fok, bet it's a beast.

JohnSmith

I wasn't sure about those wheels before but seeing them in bigger pictures they look great. Not sure if I'd have those over BBS LMs... hmmm.

JohnSmith

Not as much as this one which has sold http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2610855.htm

Cracking price as well.

JohnSmith

Mine felt light when I had it showing an indicated 165 with the top down. On a private road, of course...

JohnSmith

Hi John, I am not sure regard fitment to other models but I am sure the E39 is the 5 series hence do you mean an M5 or is it a E36 M3. eight bushes is to service two seats but if you are having problems with just your drivers seat you could split them and let your friend try them to see if they wil...

JohnSmith

Aceman, just spoke to my mate who owns an E39 M3 who has the same issue. Out of interest, I wonder if this problem is linked to time rather than usage. Both our vehicles are roughly the same age but his has done 120k miles whilst mine has done 18k. Anyway, are your bushes suitable for the M3? How fa...

JohnSmith

The brushes, are those the things that stop the bloody things from
moving slight back and forth? Just noticed that on my driver's seat.

JohnSmith

I love those wheels.

JohnSmith

So does the S.54 rocker cover fit on the S.50 engine

JohnSmith

Does the S.54 rocker cover fit on the S.50 engine? I much prefer that M badge to the S.50's one.

JohnSmith

Zemco, will look them up when at home later. S.152? Which statute? Cons and use? The legislation around noise is rubbish for the police. No objective measurements / equipment etc.

Deano, I currently have a Simota induction kit which sounds nice. Think it makes it worse on fuel though!

JohnSmith

I'm currently battling in my mind between keeping my M roadster or selling to get an M5. I got the Z out today (it's off-road for winter) to warm it up etc and thought 'there's no way I can part with this' (although I am going to test drive an M5 soon so we'll see if that swings me the other way). W...

JohnSmith

Cracking project. Would love to come across and see it when it's completed.

JohnSmith

Mine is cheapest on Admiral multicar. Got the Z and a runaround 306 diesel for £650 last year, but has increased to £750 this year.

JohnSmith

Stunning. When I purchased my Subaru (before I got the M) the guy had an F430. Could hear it all the way down the street.

JohnSmith

Nice. I really like the Z4M. My spine doesn't but I guess that's the result of our roads and not the car

JohnSmith

Probably the SLS first then the Scud.

JohnSmith

It's like mine (plus 10k :P). It's been for sale several times as people have said, for a little too much methinks, especially in winter. Drive the thing man! Obsessing over mileage spoils the experience. Speaking of not driving, I'm going to move mine to stop it getting flat spots and warm up. Only...

JohnSmith

Make sure you put some pictures up once you've made it look like new!

JohnSmith

You've got another one?

Have you got around to detailing it yet?

You're having a f"£$%$ng laugh with that pdf.

JohnSmith

Is that guide complete? Seems rather simple and I can't get it off having done the things it states. Anyone else removed theirs?

JohnSmith

Looks nice! Get those wheel arches clean though

JohnSmith

Just took delivery of mine but am yet to fit it. Will do it this month once mine goes back on the road.

Thanks for that. Robert, it's an S reg Z3M roadster.

These guys have a good reputation locally so think I'll give them a look http://www.autofinishers.co.uk/index.htm

Oh, and bonus points for anyone who can tell me the part number of that offside side light that managed to explode when it hit the wall.

JohnSmith

Like a tool I managed to do the following to my front bumper when putting my car in the garage. It's quite deep towards the top so will need some 'paste' to give it it's shape at the top then requires a respray. http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/post-527-1270295401.jpg Can anyone recommen...

JohnSmith

Looks a nice detail. The reflections are good, especially as they detailer implied there was little paint correction (swirl removal).

Make sure you wash it properly! No sponges ever again.

JohnSmith

Not got one yet but may do.

JohnSmith

Guys, thanks for that. Been away or I'd have replied sooner! Will help greatly in making a decision.

Now can someone Photoshop some BBS LMs...

JohnSmith

I ordered a Simota kit from Simon recently and went to meet him as he's not far from me. Top guy and clearly passionate about his cars.

The wait isn't an issue as mine is SORNed for another 6 weeks.

JohnSmith

I've recently seen the new E92 M3 'edition' in Monte Carlo blue with black wheels, and they look stunning. http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/upload/20351/images/7BMWM3Editionfirstdrive.jpg It makes me wonder what my car would look like with black wheels. http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/post-...

I resisted the temptation.

So how much better do these sound? The M should have always made more noise.
