Hello,
I am now a proud owner of a 2.8 Z3 pre face lift (artic silver, red leather seats), I've had my eye on them for a while after falling for the lines of the Z3 coupe. I felt like a change and wanted to have more cylinders and stay rear wheel drive so a bmw was a no brainer.
I thought I'd best introduce myself first as it's my first BMW so may well have a few questions. First jobs are just driving her and seeing what needs fixing (if anything) I'm also going to do a roll bar retro fit and fix the play in the seats.
Cheers,
Dave

Re: Newbie
Welcome! Good luck with the search for roll bar retro fit parts, assuming you aren't buying them new. Took me quite a while to get together all the trim you have to replace but the final parts are coming this weekend. When you come to it put up a wanted thread on the Stock Exchange forum here, it's where I found most of the parts for mine

Hi and Welcome.
Nice choice of colour and engine - not that I'm biased in anyway

Re: Newbie
I only have one picture of her so far . . .
I already have the whole kit (hopefully) bought off ebay, trim, hoops, brackets and all, in fact I bought it before buying the car!
After looking around I thought lighter colours suited the Z3 better, darker colours seems to hid it's lines, but at the end of the day it's personal choice, but yeah silver is best

Re: Newbie
Best thing about silver is it hides the dust and dirt ( we had a silver zed ) but if you like to get obsesive about paintwork get a black one We think a zed has classic lines whatever the colour.e.g.
Will you be coming to zed fest ? We did the roll bar retrofit if you have any questions just ask.

Re: Newbie
I saw a nice black Z3 on Newark bypass coming home from a weekend away, it looked very nice in the flesh.
I had my fill of black cars when I had a mk1 escort mexico, I had to wash it everytime I took it out of the garage, but it was worth it!

Re: Newbie
Being a good South African - - I have to agree that Black is beautiful. Keeping it looking clean is a bit of an issue, but once done, there's nothing more elegant. I think second choice would be Imola Red, and then Arctic Silver...
But it's just preference....
