are white Z3`s rare ?

Post by m^ke »

iv been on the lookout for a white Z3 for months now & it seems there rare as hell, but if you go onto ebay.com you have many to choose from.

why is this? i have read that white isnt a great seller of colour, when it comes to cars.

just thought i would point this out, & mabe get a little thread going.

also, if you own a white one ;)

Not everyones favourite colour because they only look good if you keep them clean.

You're right - white is much more popular in the US than the UK for Roadsters, and the difference is even more pronounced for Coupes - there was only one or two white M Coupes in the UK (depending on which stats you look at) but quite a few in the States. And back in NZ, white Z3's aren't common but nowhere near as unusual as they seem to be here.

Don't know why it wasn't a popular colour in the UK - think both the Roadsters and the Coupes look great in white.

Not sure about that Dakar colour though :lol:

I've been looking for a 2.8 since before Christmas and only came across one white one for sale - I think that it was near Chester. Can only assume that white is a rare colour in the UK.

I think it was R reg.
