Spotted Crosby: Pheonix S54 Z3m with Schnitzer bits.......
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...

Re: How much for a good full respray?
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 ?

FS: Rare Rondell 0021 Alloy Wheels Z3m Fitment
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.
