Z3 2.8 1997 palmetto green - SOLD

Post by msassoon »

I have bought a 630 convertible and now have this car spare. Thought I would offer it here to anyone if they are interested.

What is it?

A 1997 2.8 Z3 Roadster in Palmetto Green II.
Pretty standard, but has a lightened flywheel and Z3M clutch in it. The gearbox was also drained and refilled with new ATF.
All bushes have been replaced, some with poly ones. There are new shocks all round and new springs as well. The diff bush has been replaced and the diff oil drained and changed.
Front wishbones have been replaced and it has had regular oil changes with filter.
K&N Panel Filter and ANSA OEM exhaust. Exhaust note is enhanced, but not really loud.
Has beige interior and roll hoops. I also have a perspex wind deflector to go with them.
Also has BMW 18" alloys with two new tyres on the back (Avon ZZ3) and two with a few thousand miles on on the front (Falken 912)
All the speakers have been replaced and rewired, and will come with an Alpine CD player. I do have a Parrot stereo in it, but I must ask for a few quid for that.
I also have a new oil filter, oil, fuel filter and plugs for this which will go with the car.
The whole car was clayed last summer and the hood has been cleaned and reproofed every six months.

There is tax until October and MOT will be done to have a year. I will also service the car.

I need to take new pictures, but these should be good for a start. I will take some roof down pics when it stops raining!

I think £2500 is pretty reasonable for a quick sale, but will listen to most offers.

Yup, it is lovely, but times change. Anyone? I will be putting it on Autotrader, but wanted to give everyone here the chance first.

Thanks. Got some interest, so see how it goes. The 630i I bought was immaculate too.

Seeing the unique colour of your Z3 reminded me of the Aston Martin One-77 in the attached video clip

Can anyone tell me where the Welsh road is that the presenter is raving about? Is it a well known driver’s route?

Marc,If you were closer I would have that like a shot!!If nothing else you've covered all the jobs that need doing to make these even better cars. Have you thought of changing the wheels back to spec? It wouldn't make any difference to the price and i'm sure you'd get £500-1000 for them?! Looks great anyway!Good luck with the sale...hope it goes soon or I could end up in serious trouble :wink: I starting to get selective memory as to whether my other half told me we should be buying another zed or saving for our wedding!!

Not interested in splitting the car, I haven't got the time to get another set of wheels and swap them. Still available for viewing all weekend, bar Sunday.
