I'm looking for £5300 ovno. Or £6000 with the Hardtop.
I know it may seem alot for a high mileage car but i really feel that you get what you pay for.
You can buy a standard car with less miles but that's what it will be, a standard car. And some may like that and some may not.
Some parts on the car are incredibly hard to get hold of if not impossible.
If you're buying a Z3 to do it up and want one that looks like this then it will cost alot more as you all may know.

This car is my first ever car I've modified and so I'm finding it really hard to part with but do need a change as there's many other cars I want to try out.
It is a stunning car and draws looks everywhere I go. And in the perfect colour and interior combination.

You can contact me on 07512157600
For any questions or message me on the forum.
Please check my journal for further details.

Thanks guys

I bet that car gets sold before the end of the week. I've followed the "rebuild" of this car and it's worth every penny. I won't wish you good luck in selling it because you don't need it.

Many thanks for the kind words Macca. It's been extremely hard for me to decide to sell. But i think the time has come to move on as I'm only 28 and need to try some other cars.

Pm sent to seasurfer and Jon.

Please note. The £4900 price is pretty firm and won't be able to budge very much. Its a great price IMO

Z3cade · Post by **Z3cade** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 16:17

Wow... Naaem i wish you werent selling.. But understand your logic.. Very best of luck with the sale.. I dont think you'll have any trouble..

Are you going to tell us what you want to try next??

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 16:29

Thanks Z3cade. Hard decision to sell. part of me is wishing it doesn't

I'm looking into a few cars. Was interested in a E46 M3 or something alittle more classic like a sl320 v6 but must have a panoramic roof. Considered the boxster either 2.7 or 3.2 but not sure If I should go for another 2seater.

See what happens I guess

One of my faves, did you notice you were in the back of this months PBMW mag?

Good luck with the sale, crazy as you have only really just completed it. I know what you are saying though as I just put mine up for sale tentatively.

Hey Naeem.m, get me a price for LHD conversion ASAP.

On a more serious note, sorry to hear of your impending loss.

Hi naeem.m sorry to see your selling, i followed you progress and was jealous it looked so good. It is worth more than you are asking, i wouldnt sell it for that amount mate..

pete59 · Post by **pete59** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 19:37

great car and one of the best ive seen progress on here,well worth every penny.just hopeing one of the pics is not giveing away your adress and the cars location on the wheelie bin,you dont no who may see it,off the forum,or by chance.its very desirable.good luck

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 20:12

Pete59- many thanks for the advice. Never know who's out there.

Hornel Z3m - many thanks for the advice. Will be sad if the car goes but would love it to go to someone on the forum hence I haven't advertised elsewhere.

Potential buyers. Please note that the price for the car with the Hardtop is £5600.
I would rather sell it with the car as the fitting kit is already mounted and after seeing the Z3 with the Hardtop on you won't want to buy the car without it.

macca · Post by **macca** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 20:22

That looks fantastic with that hardtop on...

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Fri 19 Aug, 2011 22:54

J1SUA - yeh after my mate who owns the BMW specialist garage suggested I email some pics to PBMW so I did. Was nice to see it I'm there

Hardtop - just take the car and worry about the conversion later

Thanks for the comments guys.

Good luck with the sale, great looking car.

Hardtop, LHD conversion is easy you just drive backwards all the time

Thanks jonttt.

g8jka · Post by **g8jka** » Sat 20 Aug, 2011 16:59

If only I had the money, this is the only modified zed I would love to purchase as its so tastefully modified

Good luck with the sale, although I'm sure you won't need it

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Tue 30 Aug, 2011 20:47

Bump

I'm looking for £5300 without the Hardtop or £6000 ovvno for the car complete
Inc Hardtop and all mods as seen in my last journal entry

Have seen a car I like so hopefully can sell mine before it gets sold.

Thanks guys.

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Tue 20 Sep, 2011 19:28

Just thought I'd give it bump

Decided to definitely sell now and get a new car for the winter. Fingers crossed.

Will be advertising it on PH this weekend after checking with potential buyers from the forum.

Thank you

yalden · Post by **yalden** » Wed 21 Sep, 2011 09:32

Good luck with the sale, I'd still be tempted to get rid of mine but the issue I'm faced with is not knowing what car I could buy for the money which would be nicer/better than my Z3.

Any clues on what you're going for?

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Wed 21 Sep, 2011 11:01

Thanks Chris.
I know exactly what you mean about something that would feel as special and looks as special as the Z3 I have.Thanks to you it looks the way it does. I just need the praticality of having 4 seats. .

I'm looking to stick with a German car, a few I have my eye on. 1 being a BMW and the 2 others both being Mercedes. with the only exception being an FN2 type r or something completely different which I have my eye on. Jap car. 4 door saloon. Test drove a mates and it's the smoothest most comfortable ride I've experienced.

Either way I've decided to buy a car and keep it standard.

As generally car prices are low there's alot you can get for your money.

Have you thought of any replacement options yourself ?

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Sun 02 Oct, 2011 11:58

Now on pistonheads guys
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3287382.htm

I'm offering the car to anyone on the forum at £5600 complete and with the Hardtop.

yalden · Post by **yalden** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 13:16

Hi mate, would you consider selling the Hardtop and fitting kit seperately

If so, drop me a PM as I may be interested!

bajahammer · Post by **bajahammer** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 15:06

Hope to be the new owner of Naeem's Z next week - lucky me !

With respect Yalden, if he sells the hard top to you then he loses me as a buyer of the whole car which would be very disappointing !

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 16:05

Sorry yalden the car will be going to bajahammer next week with the Hardtop.

Bajahammer - glad you joined, welcome to the forum.
Looking forward to next week. Hope the weathers good so you can drive it with the roof down

bajahammer · Post by **bajahammer** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 16:16

Thanks for the welcome Naeem - also looking forward to it and hope the weather is good for the 3 hour trip up !
Your Z will hopefully be nice and 'snug' in the garage with my 335d M Sport Touring later next week !

macca · Post by **macca** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 17:36

All I can say is what a car for the price. Well done Bajahammer for getting a bargain...

GazHyde · Post by **GazHyde** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 17:44

Welcome Bajahammer,

Do we pronounce your name as "Badger Hammer" or "Ba-Ha-Hammer"?

You have got yourself one awesome Zed there and no mistake...! Seen it in the flesh and it's a stunner!

Gary

bajahammer · Post by **bajahammer** » Fri 07 Oct, 2011 20:52

Macca - Cheers, looked at few but wanted something that was different.
Naeem has done a great job on the car and their is nothing I would
do apart from getting some original LM's.

GazHyde - thanks for the welcome.
Ref my user name, I must admit I have 'hammered a few
badgers' in my time but Baja (pronounced BaHa) is one of my
favourite places in California and I have been 'hammered' there
many a time !

Ian_C · Post by **Ian_C** » Sat 08 Oct, 2011 07:03

Welcome bajahammer. Glad to see that the zed is staying on the forum

Amz · Post by **Amz** » Mon 10 Oct, 2011 08:49

welcome to the forum bajahammer, glad to know the new buyer has joined the forum

else we would have missed naeem's Z3

Ive seen the car in the flesh and its totally amazing and Naeem has done an amazing job.

Welcome to the forum bajahammer, you have got a lovely Zed there.

Did you know your Zed is Miss November in the zroadster.net 2011 calendar?

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Thu 13 Oct, 2011 13:47

I bid farewell to my lovely Z today. Didn't know it would be so emotional letting it go. It's gone to a great chap Steve (bajahammer) from Bournemouth. I'm glad it's gone to someone who appreciates it and will look after it. They really have got an amazing car.
I'll be writing a proper goodbye a little later. But will surely still hang around the forum. Owning a Z and being a part of this forum has been an unbelievable experience. Thank you to all that have helped and been so kind and made this an experience I won't forget.

On the hunt now for the replacement. Something sensible but still different for now but I'll be back in something special next summer.

Congrats on the sale, bajahammer I'll keep an eye out for you as I'm down your neck of the woods

Naeem.m · Post by **Naeem.m** » Fri 28 Oct, 2011 19:53

Thanks shanty. Missing the car a lot but was time to move one.
Was hoping bajahammer would have some pics up but sure he must be busy enjoying the car
