I've seen this shed on here at least twice before. It doesn't get better with age, either. As for turning heads . . . . . . .I'm not surprised. You'd need a double take to let it all soak in!!!

Is that AC Schnitzer checkerplate ally?

I'll keep it garaged and promise not to flash and wave, if I ever encounter another zed driver, while driving on my drive. :oops:

Taste

Post by Mike Fishwick »

It Is rather a victory for enthusiasm over taste, but if the bits of checker plate and the imitation flush filler cap were removed it would look too bad.

I would also get rid of the polished wheel arch lips, but these were a modification accepted by many BMW owners during the 'eighties - particularly in Germany, usually being fitted to cars bearing 'Bavaria' script on the boot lid, which was a genuine BMW accessory to please the mpore rabid enthusiasts for a free Bavarian state!

At least it looks better than this poor Zed, which I noticed at the Swiss Zed rally in 2008!

I think the basic car is pretty sound. I have met the owner who seems a very decent chap. We got talking about cars and turns out he has a Z3 too. Loved driving it and thought the performance and handling were both excellent. I think it has been looked after well, garaged for the winter etc etc.
He told me he was selling and about the mods.

I didnt mention this site for selling.

I cant think why....
