Zentral Scotland Z...

Post by Takumi »

Ok, poor title I know... bu it was the best I could do! Here's some pics of the New Z and the Dead Z (Dunno how to make them smaller Sorry!!!)

My car, Z3 2.2 Sport. Almost as it left the factory.. low milage - no plans to modify want to keep it as original as possible. Just needs a few things to make it perfect! Hope you like.

Thanks for the replies!!

Not a pro photographer, all pics taken with my phone!! (Samsung Galaxy). I just wait till I see something interesting and snap. My camera is full of nonsense!!

The Z4 died in a small accident, the cost of the parts was ridiculous so insurance wrote it off. I was gutted - especially at the crappy payment I was given... I'll keep posting pics as I take them! Now, I just need to drive the Z3!!

Really nice pics there :)

Which do you prefer between the Z4 and Z3 ?
I've had a 3.0 Z4 and wish I still had it. I've been on the look out for a Z3 but unsure if I would be trying to compare it to the Z4 all the time and regret not getting another Z4.
Do they drive the same?

Im not really a fan of silver!!! But it suits the Z3, and condition etc were more important... If I had to choose it would have been that lovely dark blue colour, yellow or orinocco green (or any other weird colour!!) But, its silver and I think it suits it! Sounds like a politicians answer... :P

My Z4 was only a 2.0 as it was my daily driver and I really enjoyed it, I loved the looks, it was pretty cheap to run and comfy. If you had run flats on your Z4 you'd know the ride isnt great, but it was great to drive (and I loved the phoenix yellow.. I know it was a love it or hate it colour). The Z3 is a totally different kettle of fish and you can definitely tell its from an older generation of car. They drive totally differently, the Z3 isnt as stiff its like driving a big jelly, and you feel that on the road abd its not as heavy to drive. I dont think its really fair to compare because the Z3 is based on E30 technology... but its a good drive! I got a 6 cylinder Z3 so you have the sound of that lovely engine does wonders, it looks great, with the right wheels etc. I think if you get the right one, you wont be disappointed Russ! Hope that helps
