First Pic of my Z3
Well this is the first pic of my recently aquired 1.8 Z3.
I borrowed the car as a summer runaround from my cousin who was selling my Range Rover at his garage in High Wycombe. It took a couple of months to sell the Rangie and by then I had become inseperable from the Zed so I bought it.
It is beautifully original and thats the way I plan to keep it. It has 48k miles and I just had inspection 2 carried out.
So far I have added four new Falken tyres and washed it a lot! My wishlist includes refurbing the alloys and the renovating areas of the drivers seat that have scuff marks. I will also shortly fit the passenger side Airbag control bypass unit that arrived today and then use the reset tool I bought to see if it clears the warning light.
I have had good success cleaning the rear window with renovo plastic polish and now just need to re-black the hood and attend to some minor bodywork hairline scratches which I hope I can do with the german coloured polish/wax crayon that I bought yesterday.
Looking forward to some Zsters runs out in my neck of the woods!

nice colour, looks in good condition. Alloys are looking great too.
I've got a 1.9 Z3 (pics in another thread) and there's just something about the original stock design that is just beautiful the way it is, nothing needs to be added and you've got a great looking and hopefully reliable car.
I've only got 65k miles on mine, for yours to have even less is great news.
EDIT: Can i ask why you've put your post code in your forum signature? Might be a good idea to remove that?
