I've seen this car parked in the same spot down the road from where I live several times over the past month. Where it is parked suggests it is near someones work not home so who's is it. I can't believe the chances an S54 parks closer to my home than my own does lol Crosby area of Liverpool, near t...

Well I thought after 18 months of being stood in storage I should give the Z3 a run :D ...... but as its SORN with no current MOT I was limited to 15 minutes driving around the underground car park where it lives :head: The car is stored in a well ventilated secure underground car park but walking u...

Price sounds pretty good to me for a full respray, properly prepped and top quality finish.

Although I may be used to porsche prices lol where you are looking at £5-6k. I guess pro rata down for less prep work required on the roady and it's about right. What warranty will they give on it ?

Jonttt

You can always come for a drive out to Liverpool to try them

I'm two min from the beach and 15 min from the city centre so you could make a day of it

One of the nicest wheels I've seen on a Z3m is the Rondell 0021. Its a simple but classic style, retains the deeeeep dish with a bigger concave. Most where 17inch but they where also available in 18 inch. They are rare however as Rondell stopped making them some years ago. Even rarer to find a brand...

i want to know what else is lurking in the garage ! Oh there are some nice rare goodies in there to be drip fed back into circulation over the next few weeks :wink: If you have a facelift aero spoiler, I call shotgun!!

Yep they where priced fairly IMHO. To buy from an authorised ac schnitzer outlet (rossitors) would cost you double that

I could have sold them twice in the first hour

I'm having a garage clear out :D I have for sale an absolutely brand new set of AC Schnitzer Type III alloys in Z3m fitment. Price is £1,100 They can be collected / inspected in person in North Liverpool or buyer to arrange collection. They are in their original boxes. If you still interested and wa...

That front ET will be tight, may depend on which tyres you fit, even then you may get some poke / rub depending what suspension you are running. I get some very slight rub on higher ET than that at the front but I am running a lowered suspension. I would stick with 225's at the front. I've run 235's...

I had a faulty sender on my first ///M. Complete ball ache to get at and 5 times the price of a none ///M one to do the same job :wink: mine would not clean up as the contacts had corroded so badly. The dealer supplied a new one FOC under warranty though. I would not mind but when working they are n...

Lol been through exact scenario with the 993 over the past 2 years, dealers will sell these cars AND keep the advert live as it brings in enquiries. There have been certain 993's for sale for months on pistonheads and every now and again someone uses them as an example of how they are overpriced, wh...

Jonttt

Yep classic case of selling too cheap / not aware of current market value. I'm not saying it's worth £20k but in this market I'm pretty sure he would have sold it quickly for more, someone got a bargain and could probably sell it for a decent margin tomorrow with a decent advert. Classic sign of a f...

I posted about a car I went to have a look at in Devon only a year or so ago. I was just being nosey as I'd already bought mine by then. It was at a Lotus specialist in Lifton and the asking price was £11495. This looks like the same car! Will be a good test of how far the "market" has mo...

There's an S50 that's done 116,000 for sale at £13,985 :shock: . It has to be worth a wee bit more than this :roll: . and one S50 that just sold for £7500 on another thread Yep and it sold too quickly despite the worst advert you could do as everything thought it was a scam.......it was too cheap =...

Can't believe what has happened to the prices of these! Glad the car is finally getting some recognition I just wish I hadn't sold mine when I did!

Funny, I would say the opposite about a Z3m. I struggle to think of a 300+ BHP Classic car that's as cheap to run

Jonttt

I think its great that the old school m cars are soaring up in price. Last of the analogue era and never to be repeated. All that noise, vibration, snarling and howling from the S50/54 can never ever be created again. From the era that the M badge wasn't so diluted - it actually meant that the car ...

Mine has just spent 6 months off the road hooked up to a battery conditioner. I pulled the fuses to the fuel pump and turned it over with 3 or 4 bursts on the starter until the red oil pressure light had gone out, then replaced the fuses and started as normal. Why? Well the 6 pots have Vanos valve ...

North american cars had them but not European market cars. The main problem with them used to be the fluid leaking which acts as a corrosive on the interior trim. I researched this a lot many years ago and decided not to bother. There used to be a full guide on how to do it and a company that offere...

Investments should always be mixed, on an island land and property will always be a safe bet in the long term.

Jonttt

Matt, I think in this case mileage provenance is more important than number of owners. It is without question a garage queen / concours car so number of owners is irrelevant to me as I would expect it to change hands between collectors. I am assuming you are looking to buy back as an investment. Pri...

12mm pics fitted on my journal somewhere.

TPI are good quality / VFM and they do kits with longer bolts.

You will need to factor in longer locking nuts as well

Jonttt

I've had mine completely disconnected for 6 months before with no problems, it's currently been disconnected for c18 months and don't envisage any problems.

Your battery may just need a deep recharge off the car as stated above, not sure all "conditioners" can do that though ?

I've got one but air never passes through it

I am on my second MAF but that's another story

Jonttt

I would say that's about right for a private sale especially if unseen (although can be rejected if materially different than advert) but I'm not as up on prices as I used to be. Of course an S54 with similar mileage would be worth...........oops in danger of turning this into the porsche forum :lol:

Not uncommon for dealers to put prices up like that. The logic is the car is not attracting the "right" audience. You have to remember with cars like these they don't have to turn them over quickly as with newer stock which start to loose value every 6 months etc..... If they can afford to...

All investments are risks. It could easily go the other way through no fault of yours. An astronomical hike in VED for instance or having to pay VED for cars that are SORNed as well as "on the road". My 330 lost 33% of its value overnight when the new VED rates came in a few years ago. Th...

A car will only inflate in value by either luck or by not using it and wrapping it in polythene. I beg to differ, my porsche 993 has increased in value by c180% in 2 years. I have compulsory spent on it (ie ignoring a lot of spend I have chosen but which add no value) less than £1500 including 2 ye...

You have ended up with the same eternal problem of ///M owners finding alternative wheels due to the very low rear offset required.
