Bond's Z3....Again!

Buz again,

Waxed and after another e-bay raid, new number plates and toneau tan hood cover to match the interior. I love the modified Z's put still proud of my 'showroom/Q Branch' example!

Off to watch Goldeneye for the 782nd time....your tolerance is appreciated

The new tonneau looks spot on, they're quite rare in this colour as well iirc!

Buz007 · Post by **Buz007** » Sun 01 Aug, 2010 19:32

Looks AMAZING! prob one of the best on here! interior is fantastic you need to get some proper pics on for everyone to see.

Questions..
Where did you get that steering wheel??? I need one

how did you matt black the windscreen surround or did it come out of the factory like that??

Cheers

Buz

hornel Z3M · Post by **hornel Z3M** » Sun 01 Aug, 2010 19:37

Hi Buz.
Glad you like the Z, its my pride and joy and it doesnt go out unless clear blue skies, so thats not too often. I`ve had it chipped by chippeduk and made a great difference, has a k+n filter with heat shield i found in new york believe it or not. stainless steel exhaust chrome wheels with proxy racing tyres engine strut brace etc etc etc

That plate is going to look excellent, I can't wait to see pictures of it fitted.

GazHyde · Post by **GazHyde** » Sun 01 Aug, 2010 22:14

Nice one snapping it up and glad to be of help.

But for the life of me I can't think what I was looking for on e-bay when that one came up...! Really wierd timing too.

Gaz.

Buz007 · Post by **Buz007** » Fri 10 Sep, 2010 16:19

number plate is on ready for Harewood.

Pics to follow!

GazHyde · Post by **GazHyde** » Fri 10 Sep, 2010 17:02

Nice one Buz,

Looking forward to piccies of the plate!

Post by **Robert T** » Fri 10 Sep, 2010 17:28

I love that last shot.

Just one thing though - can you take a couple of blocks of wood with you next time to put under the far wheels of the zed so that it sits right.

Cheers R.

That is one stunning Z, and the number plate will really set her off! Hats off to you good sir!! Now all you need is the sexy Russian spy to go with!

Hello All,

Here are the pics of the new plate, of which 'i'm particularly proud of''!

Oh boy that looks better than I ever imagined

marcusplowman · Post by **marcusplowman** » Wed 11 May, 2011 19:51

That plate was on an Atlanta Blue over here in NI for a long time...there was another one with JB Z3 007 on it too but its on an SLK now...someone must have downgraded

Z3Topaz22 · Post by **Z3Topaz22** » Thu 12 May, 2011 10:35

Great looking car, clearly the James Bond theme has inspired quite a number of us in a subliminal way to own a Z3.

I keep looking at Aston Martin DB4 / 5 in the same way .... oh for a Lottery win!!!!

Will have to make do with the Z3, not too much of a hardship though.

Cheers

Buz007 · Post by **Buz007** » Thu 12 May, 2011 14:45

I bought it from an Irish dealer, (via ebay) he was a great chap and very helpful. Cant believe its from a previous atlanta blue!

Its fairly obvious Bond inspired me, just had the widscreen surround matte blacked just to get it a bit closer.

chris1984_99_99 · Post by **chris1984_99_99** » Thu 12 May, 2011 18:52

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!

Buz007 · Post by **Buz007** » Thu 12 May, 2011 21:08

it took me best part of 18 months to find this one after looking at one or 2, they seem rare in this colour and even rarer with the black and beige interior

and even rarer still with only 48 on the clock and full BMW service history

There was a grey haired middle aged man driving one with a hard top up Boucher Road around Crimbo time...had a black interior tho so not 007 spec...Ive a pic somewhere...

chris1984_99_99 · Post by **chris1984_99_99** » Fri 13 May, 2011 00:38

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 her? Headlight washers, walnet interior trim...50 cal machine guns and stinger missiles?

....and the bond babe of course!

marcusplowman · Post by **marcusplowman** » Fri 13 May, 2011 13:38
