Re: S54 BMW M roadster

Thanks guys, I've listed it as pretty much the lowest I want to take on it. Due to having the new car already the crossover period is costing me money every day so I'm hoping for a relatively quick sale, I will be shooting for £11k on the classifieds so I'm giving the forum members a straight price,...

S54 BMW M roadster - Deposit placed

The time has finally come to sell the Z3M. I can without a doubt say it's the best car I have owned so this is a very sad day for me She was bought back in 2010 off another forum member, for those who don't know all the details of its life (during my ownership) can be found here: http://www.zroadste...

Dooby's Sub enclosure (rear storage compartment)

Hi all, As some of you may know the car will be up for sale soon, i am toying with the idea of removing the sound system (it seems like a crime). The question is, did anyone fit Dooby's sub enclosure into a storage compartment? I need to know whether its compatible and whats involved!! Cheers, James

Looking good :) I'd try some interior shine or even leather care on the indents left by the old hoops, it should soften it up a bit enough to flatten the marks out!

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a set of wheel bolts (The BBS's are coming off along with spacers/longer bolts). There seems to be thousands of choices on ebay but does anyone have any experience buying any? Also i have no idea of exact specs!

Thanks for the input. To be honest I won't let it go for under 10k (which would be silly cheap imo), the sheer amount of work which has gone into it means it should be trouble free for some time.
