Payment recieved - SOLD

shantybeater

I'd suggest 'strong strut' - not the cheapest but they are known as the holy grail of struts for the z's

shantybeater

Worth mentioning that these are the only non OEM roll hoops which are fully German TUV safety approved for the Z3 (they were an offical option through BMW dealerships). Good luck with the sale, shocked your selling them as you know you problably won't get another set :shock: This is a spare set i'v...

shantybeater

Well....I've only ever seen two sets for sale before (in the last 3~ years) and the most recent ones sold on here within a matter of hours for £651. So i'm offering the same deal, £650 posted and they are yours - no offers A small price to pay for one of the rarest and most desired modifications you...

shantybeater

Looks very tidy! Not usually a fan of black wheels but it seems to work with this colour. I think its midnight purple which was an individual colour aka special order

shantybeater

I've only just found out about this event this morning. I'm not a regular contributor to the forum and generally only read the model specific Z3M section. I really want to go in the Z3M but I've already promised to go with friends to BugJam in the VW camper, which is on the same weekend. :head: Jus...

shantybeater

Loving your choice of mods, very similar taste to me I think! the car is really coming together!

shantybeater

Very tidy!

shantybeater

Really liking that, remember seeing an article a while back now with a silver M with a grey surround and it looked great if not a bit too daring for my liking. On the blue it works a treat though!

shantybeater

Honestly? I only ever 'use' mine on a occasion to keep it working, never have I actually needed it!

shantybeater

Are you sure about that?!? I thought it was a solid chrome surround??

shantybeater

I get in my M as well, its just lad banter. I wouldn't play to it too much

shantybeater

Could be rear top mounts? A very common point of failure for the z's. I would expect knocking over bumps as well though

shantybeater

Hi, I did recieve a pm from you but it seemed to get deleted somewhere along the lines?

shantybeater

Lovely looking car, the schnitzers look really good against black as well

shantybeater

Sorry to see you leave Dave, you certainly didn't have the easiest time with your zed so who can blame you. The Rocco looks nice, I'm sure as a daily driver it will fill it's purpose well

shantybeater

It was a stroll in the park in comparison to the seatbelt guides. As for lining them up just make sure the seats are all the way back when you take them out, I just matched each side up and counted the threads, both went in first time

ps , nice washing machine

haha its not mine its my folks, they paid a small fortune for that thing!

it took a good 14 hours or so from start to finish. Hog rings are the devil!

shantybeater

Well i made the most of the jubilee bank holiday and got on with one of my big jobs i've been putting off for a while: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/New%20car/Seat%20fix%20and%20Whalen%20bushes/IMG_20120604_130517.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/New%20ca...

shantybeater

sorry I can't help with that one!

shantybeater

Get your last bids in now guys!

shantybeater

Hi Brian, I didn't take any I'm afraid but if you remove the plastic covers below the wheel ypu should see a bunch of cables tied together with a little white connection just sat there, it looks a similar shape and size as your average phone charger connection (the modern style)

shantybeater

Congrats on the purchase

another s54 on the forum! Get some pics up asap!

shantybeater

Listing now live

shantybeater

Sorry I didn't explain myself very well - the listing is scheduled to go live tomorrow night so the link should work then (I hope!)

shantybeater

Now listed on eBay - although it isn't live yet, starting bid 99p no reserve so grab a bargain!!:

shantybeater

Wow that was quick! So lets hear it! What price did you let them go at?

shantybeater

I don't think its against policies to list an ebay link ;) (which may happen to be an auction) I know my brother will be bidding for starters ! :) I honestly think you will get more, for instance my headlights i've had for sale now for a while and crept the price down to £165 posted, they sell on eb...

shantybeater

Very interested to see what these fetch, I'd be tempted to stick them on eBay if I were you, a huge amount of buyers don't go on forums and I'd be inclined to say you will end up (even after fees) with a better price...

shantybeater

looking good, can you get some pics of these rear mud flaps?

shantybeater

Does anyone know how many S54 M Roadsters are still in existence? There must have been a fair few lost to accidents and other terminal causes over the past decade. This would be very interesting, could we somehow find out how many are still being taxed/MOT'd? I remember one forum member with a sapp...

shantybeater

WOW....! So just 3 with red roofs eh? Oh So Cool! I knew that RED was originally a press car, but I didn't know that she was the first VIN to actually be sold. Fascinating! Alfie So 'Red' is one of a kind...Imola with Imola/Black interior and Red roof 8-) Si has the only LSB with LSB/Black interior...

shantybeater

shantybeater

Looking good, the center console has come up really well!

shantybeater

Sounds good to me bro! can't grumble at that price either! are the rear windows stitched in or zipped like OEM?

shantybeater

Well another thing has been ticked off the list. After seeing a thread some time ago about how easy it was to retrofit cruise control to an S54 I finally got round to giving it a try. Popped into my local BMW dealership on thursday afternoon and ordered the same three parts outlined by other members...

shantybeater

I agree but its for those rare moments I need to go for a motorway run and fancy running in extra economy mode

shantybeater

Cheers Si I was hoping for some confirmation from someone who has carried out the job

shantybeater

Digging this up for anyone interested, Ordered the same three parts as 'martlet' from my local Woods BMW: B61.31.8.360.926 Switch B61.31.1.390.968 Knob (English) B65.71.8.380.054 Interface Parts totalled around £135, non-refundable from Germany :shock: Fingers crossed it works!!

shantybeater

Gutted they don't do red!!!

shantybeater

There has been like 5 sets on eBay recently?

Code: Select all

How have you missed them all?

shantybeater

Great color combo, the sidelights look good, usually photos make them seem dull?

PS got the same aerial, great mod but useless at picking up reception! Lucky the radio is barely used!

shantybeater

Looking good, loving the blue as well, it shines up nicely by the looks of things

shantybeater

Oh dear

can't imagine I will find a second hand set in the condition I'd like

shantybeater

Will do, I feel a video coming on :lol: Tim. Z4 reversing up the drive, Z4 pulling back down the drive ;-) Nice car anyway Tim and obviously the best colour. Can't believe you only brought titanium silver just so you didn't have to change your name :-) ahaha i do remember seeing that video...

shantybeater

I think the type of pedal can change the feel of the driving experience to some extent (better or worse, I've changed pedal sets on plenty of cars for non cosmetic reasons over the years) but I agree the premium over cheaper pedals is hard to justify but sometimes its just the feeling that you have...

shantybeater

Probably not to be honest, my brother has his eye on them!

shantybeater

Once its run in Tim you must get some inside/outside videos for us of the engine note

shantybeater

For me it would purely be for aesthetics, everytime I get in the car i'd like to see some stylish pedals rather than the worn originals

shantybeater

I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like? does it still have the bmw noise? I would assume fuel economy should be pretty good?
