Hi everyone.

I've just got hold of my 1st Z3 and favourite new toy.

Just thought id say hello as im new to the site, and see if anyone has any thoughts on my new motor?!

Its a 99, with hard top, 33k, all reciepts from purchase to main dealer changes of washer fluid. All as new (as far as i know!).

Hope to speak to you all soon.

(Sorry if the photos dont work...not sure what im doing!)
James

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You almost had me running down to the garage to check mine was still there.

Mine is identical, right down to the wheels and hardtop, but I have terracotta cloth seats and no chrome on the wipers or windscreen surround, and I haven't yet fitted roll hoops.

I sometimes get over Leeds way, so I'll keep an eye out for you. Don't be frighted to wave back if you see another zed flashing or waving at you.

Cheers R.

Welcome James. Lovely Z3.

You and Rob should get together for a photo shoot having near identical cars.

Cheers guys,

I'll be looking out for my flashing waving look-a-like while im out and about Rob!

Alloys are changing very soon though so we wont match for long.

Im not sure about the chrome wipers on mine...i am getting used to them, but i still think they could be a bit to much in the shiny extras stakes!

If anyone is meeting around the Leeds area any time soon, let me know.

Welcome James. The car looks nice.

There may be a meeting in the area in July, if can get round to arranging it.

One of my 2 days a week in Leeds today (Chapel Allerton) so went in through Roundhay but didn't see you - in fact didn't see another Zed all day.

Welcome Jim. I'm based near Wakefield so i'd be up for a meet or run around the area. There appears to a few members up this way now.

Sounds like we might be able to get some good numbers together at this rate. So who's going to take on the organising?!

Im new to the Z3 experience (hence the title of this thread) but i can 100% recommend the experience 'thus far'. Get the money in and get it spent...sure you wont regret it.

I live over the airport side, in Yeadon.
