Hey guys, is this run still on? Im over in Scotland (Near Dumbarton) for the next few weeks. Would be great to finially meet up with some guys from on here!

chris1984_99_99

Im afraid its the Z3 for me. They have such an iconic retro look that will never age. The Z4 in all its shapes and forms will look old and dated, non spectacular (and in my view earlier models already are). Heres a few images of my 3 and my mates 4 for comparison. Although I must admit the new shape...

Who needs a hard top when you have a hard ...bargin price to beat!

chris1984_99_99

Cheers for that, i'll give it a go!

chris1984_99_99

Hi all, I noticed today that my driver side window is playing up, it goes down ok.... and it will come up so long as i hold my finger on the button... but it used to come all the way up on its own, has anyone any ideas why it could be going like this? Ive had a look and couldnt find any previous thr...

chris1984_99_99

Passenger seat?.. oh yeah so there is one!! :P Would have to agree though, the few times ive been sitting in mine, its nowhere near as comfortable as the drivers seat, although your not driving, and thus not enjoying yourself as much, infact if someone else is driving chances are your nervous, so th...

We'll probably never know, but i'd like to think they'd pay a visit to his house and maybe breathalyze him. I know its not a nice thing to say but I wouldnt bat an eyelid if he hit a tree and wiped himself out...1 less idiot on the road...its just if any innocent people are involved.... hope they ge...

chris1984_99_99

God, is it just me or are they all very cheap!?

... I better not look at them again or I might start thinking...and that...that is dangerous for me! lol

chris1984_99_99

I cant say ive actually seen the owner of the Bangor one yet and any time ive seen its always had the soft top up. Cant be too many of them about im sure like you say Buz! That motor of yours is looking the part! The Black trim around the windscreen sets her off. Cant be much left to fully bond-ise ...

chris1984_99_99

Ive actually seen an atlanta blue z3 down in Bangor (Co Down) quite a lot lately...wonder if its related as its a pretty rare colour to find them in!

chris1984_99_99

haha i love the story, sounds like it couldnt have happened to a nicer bunch! Just goes to show, it isnt about how deep your wallet is, or how tiny your....errr you get the picture! If a car is well looked after and has a lot of natural beauty in it.... it will outshine almost anything! Its one of t...

chris1984_99_99

That illuminated gearknob looks quite the funky monkey! Was there much work installing it? Was just looking at your photos again aswell.. non too shabby either!! Some pretty cool angles there! I take it you do a spot of photography?

chris1984_99_99

Very tidy set of wheels there m'lady! Looks great! Lovely colour too, Heres to some decent top down weather!! The roof i mean! lol

chris1984_99_99

Looking the part Rob! Love the number plate and wheels! Very tidy car and brilliant location for the photos! You should turn a few of them into Black and Whites!

chris1984_99_99

Now they ARE impressive! Great car in a great location! Have you any idea what camera your mate was using?

chris1984_99_99

Haha indeed that guy did have good taste! I like the story even more as my brother in law drives a MGTF and while its a nice enough looking motor...there just isnt any comparison! Its amazing what difference a smile or wave can do! A few weeks ago I was in Scotland and saw a nice dark blue Z3 parked...

chris1984_99_99

Yeah the 2 outer studs are plenty to hold it in place, i use it all the time along with the wind deflector. Just tuck the centre part down on the cover when its on and it wont budge! Took me 10 minutes to put it on the first time.... longest it takes me now is about a minute! Once you get used to it...

Only if im on fire, and I generally try to avoid that as I find it detrimental to my general health and well being! Its true there are some outright ignorant and strange folk out there, all I can say is their cars are wasted on them, it honestly makes me beam from cheek to cheek when I pass another ...

chris1984_99_99

Yesterday driving through Dundonald near where I live, I pulled up beside a dark purple Z3 at a set of lights. The (older aged) couple glanced over at me, i smiled and waved...and they totally blanked me out, the fella actually putting his arm on the window. I thought, what ignorant t*ts and they co...

chris1984_99_99

Lovely looking motor and dare I say it...I actually really like the spoiler! Lovely colour, body looks great and the wheels "wheely" set it off! Health to enjoy and make sure to put sum pics up with the top down... it is getting near that time of year again afterall!!

chris1984_99_99

Bit of a random one here. Inside when driving at any sort of speed there seems to be excessive noise coming from the air vent directly under the windscreen for demisting it. Now its always done this since I got the car, but after being in other Z3's, they dont seem to do it. The faster you go the mo...

chris1984_99_99

And mine!

chris1984_99_99

haha i like the above posts! It seems you have been to this BBQ a few times before! I was caught out in the rain yesterday with the cover on. Felt a right pillock having to get out and quickly take it off. Its only clipped on with the 2 outer most clips anyway beside the door so its fairly quick. De...

chris1984_99_99

Yeah there is definately a plastic handle in the middle of the roof for pulling down while the catches are applied on either side!

chris1984_99_99

...and boy what a difference it makes! Dont know why ive held off getting one for so long! It really does finish the car off! Means I have to go out and take all my pics of the car all over again! lol

chris1984_99_99

I was driving today from Belfast to Bangor and sitting in the traffic in Holywood spotted a nice red Z1, number plate started with OIW

I think thats the first time ive ever actually seen one in the flesh! I couldnt believe it when i realised what it was! Lovely looking car!

chris1984_99_99

When I first got my car the amp in the passenger footwell wasnt working. Infact I didnt know there was one! I changed the head unit and got 2 new speakers behind the seats and the sound was still terrible! clipping and popping as soon as i turned it up to a volume level where i could actually hear i...

chris1984_99_99

How are you meant to get that all sparkley and shiney?... think i'll give it a miss!!

chris1984_99_99

I dont know why, but i just got a notification of your previous post about this trip on the 15/3/11!! Would loved to have went to the trip! Looks like it turned out a great day!

chris1984_99_99

As the title says, my handbrake handle itself is a bit loose on it. When you pull it up to put the brake on its solid...but when sitting down and off.. it rattles, as in theres a bit of movement from side to side. Its no biggie.. just slightly anoying and im just wondering has anyone ever had the sa...

chris1984_99_99

Just got the very same thing done to mine 2 days ago...it certainly does make a big difference! Everything feels so much tighter, more responsive, as it should be! For some reason on the drive back home from the garage I kept getting lost and taking wrong turns which just added to the journey! Oh we...

chris1984_99_99

Growing up as a kid I only ever had 2 cars i liked (i never was really into cars) and only ever had the 1 model, which was of course a Z3. it was always my dream car. Walking home from high school I would often take the long way home just so i could walk past the house that had one sitting in its dr...

chris1984_99_99

wow both motors are a credit to you! Just make sure you take out medical insurance next for the cars.. your going to have people hurting their necks as you pass by!

chris1984_99_99

Beautiful new car there! Health to enjoy! I was actually out for a spin today with my friend David (He in his Z4sdrive and myself in my Z3) thought i'd post a few pic's I took of both cars! Heres to getting some decent roof down weather!! 8-) http://ih1.redbubble.net/work.6813860.1.flat,800x800,070,...

chris1984_99_99

Have to say its really not doing it for me going from what ive seen. And whats all this about front wheel drive? To me this looks like a car for someone who dosnt appreciate driving, feeling the road, hard suspension etc, i reckon this will be a real soft ride compared to the basic, raw ride you get...

chris1984_99_99

haha funny u should say that, its not actually a Z3 at all in that picture! Its really a table with a glass of water, its the power of suggestion and illusion that makes it look like a Z!

chris1984_99_99

Lol im not actually taking a leak here, but im sure there are other websites out there if its what floats your boats! :wink: Ime not the one being photographed. Each to their own :roll: :twisted: No, your not, its a photo of me and my car as per the theme of the thread, and to be honest I dont get ...

chris1984_99_99

To be totally honest with you i couldnt tell!! I didnt get a good look at it and it was pouring down with rain, so the car was wet and reflected a lot of the streetlight. I was there for a week and didnt see any others in my time there!

chris1984_99_99

I was in Bournemouth last week doing a course when out walking around the town at night to see whats what I heard a rumble. I looked around to see....low and behold... a Z3 going up a very steep road. It sounded beautiful and I didnt know it was a Z3 until I turned to see it. Unfortunately it was ve...

£18.84 +VAT each from the local dealer and apparently the black ones are discontinued now.

chris1984_99_99

Cheers Gill for offering thou services! I'll give the dealer a bell tomorrow and see what they come in at. In the past they have been a wee tad expensive compared to other dealers...so, i'll let you know! In the meantime im probably going to try and clean them up a bit for now. Im just not going to ...

chris1984_99_99

Wow! they didnt half make a difference to yours! what happened to your originals? you didnt reverse the car into seawater did u!?

Might have to take a trip over to the dealer and see if they have any! Cheers!

chris1984_99_99

I'd usually see 1 or 2 zed's every time i go out, usually more 4's than 3's however. I usually just flash or wave at the 3's to be honest although I did once get a wave and beep from a 4 as we went into different lanes and went our seperate ways. Me letting him pull out onto the road a few minutes b...

chris1984_99_99

Hi all, Ive been trying to give the exhaust tips a good spruce up as theyre pretty much black and have probably never been done on the car. I managed to get 1 off fairly easily and the other looks like it will have to be broken off. So one is being done in the house, the other on the car. After look...
