Re: It's official - Z3M For Sale (1999 S50 Estoril Blue)
The car is now sold! Bit less than I'd have liked but still happy with the price... And with tax, MOT and insurance due in the next few months a few hundred lost isn't the end of the world. It's been real fun and I'll say again what a great community this forum is, good knowledge and everyone being ...

It's official - Z3M For Sale (1999 S50 Estoril Blue)
I know my time with the car has been sadly brief, it's now definately time for the M to move onto a new owner as we're expecting our first child in June, so now the focus is on cots, "travel systems", ISOFIX etc... With this and work commitments, I'm basically never using the car, so it se...

Did the engine turn over? Or just click? Or nothing at all? If all the lights on the dash dimmed and nothing happened then likely to be the battery just not having enough amps.

For what it's worth, my son's Z4MC at Keevil last weekend was suffering overheated brakes at first. He found that with the DSC 'ON' the brakes became much hotter than with it off. The assumption was that the brakes were working hard to stabilise the car while it was being driven on the adhesion lim...

If you're smooth then maybe 1mm... Maybe 2mm if you're out all day long. If however, you're giving load of sideways action then you can be down to the canvas in a day Also, it'll depend on the circuit, and temps...

Excellent. Scary how quickly you catch people in the corners - just when you don't want to brake or lift off :shock: . LOL! Tell me about it! Not sure if I got it on video, but some people braking in the middle of a corner (normally Paddock) certainly made for some serious puckering action!!! :shock:

Interestingly, I know it was cold, so the exit from Clearways was a bit dicey, but the main straight it was only getting up to about 115 - 120mph...

Hi all, I've not been on here much as been busy working away, but looks like I'm going to sell the M Roadster... There's a few reason, changing circumstances mean that I'll probably rarely drive it, aligned to when I do get the chance it's just too fast to have a laugh with, maybe it's too much trac...

I bet there's no real technical reason for the different service intervals S50 vs S54 other than it became fashionable for manufacturers to do so in the early 2000s, particularly for fleet owners to go longer distances. Using the same/similar oil means it should be the same interval, 15k is far too...

I doubt it will ever be made as I can see it taking sales away from the Z4 as these types of cars occupy a niche market, if it priced nearer the Z4 then why bother with the Z2.
