thanks macca..macca wrote:Well done Bill, I'm liking the wheels.
No worries steve. I've been a great fan of BMW cars since about 13 years old, my dad had a early 30si from new in 1972 i think then a 30csi about a year later & finally a 633 csi I have owned a fabulous e34 530 V8 fully loaded in the past. I love the marque & dislike m badged lesser cars with a passon
mmm I'll look.. went to Ashbourne with some biker mates a couple of years ago for 3 days fantastic chip shop in the square as i remember, I'll look up tan hill.. also there is also the cat & fiddle pub but its swarming with coppers all the time these days..billz wrote:Depending how far up you are you want to have a trip over Tan hill some brill roads all over that way and all the way down to Ashbourne.

Looks like a nice car at a good price.
It made me laugh when I saw that a few weeks ago advertised in the Z3m section and described as a Z3m but that works in your favous as people looking for non ///M's would not have looked in this section
The 2.2's are great (my brother had one)
ps even though it has some sport parts fitted I don't think its a 2.2 sport version as so far as I know they all had clear 3rd brake lights which was the easy tell

Thats exactly what I thought when i saw it Johnnit its such a little minter. If it had been in the main Z3 section it would have gone quickly. the thing about the previous owners (no disrespect to them mind) they seem great with the body & interior but seemed to know very little about the mechanics, the first thing I'm going to do when i get home is all liquids & filters ... top quality oils all round & give the engine bay a bloody good cleaningJonttt wrote:Looks like a nice car at a good price.

Nice looking Zed Bill hope you enjoy it. I suspect the seats have been retrofitted as they are definatly ///M seats and not fitted as an option I don't think, very nice though.
Look forward to what you think when you get your hands on it.

The heated seats do work. I've been out in it last sunday (& yes I drove up there to test drive it & buy it) the seats & everything else was fitted at the BMW factory in Germany Honest
If i could scan the sales invoice from Ian Anthony Bolton Ltd & put it up here i would there are 10 extra items on there

Bill, thats cool. I've seen non Z3's that have had the ///M mirrors as rare factory fit options so I'm sure BMW would have fitted any ///M accessory at factory on request. They would just have been very costly and so very rare as factory fit.
May have been a dealer spec car or a customer who knew exactly what they wanted and was prepared to pay for it

I wouldn't worry - I recently bought a 2.2 having set out looking for a 3.0. The 2.2 engine is a peach (as others have commented on the forum) and for my money provides enough performance for most occasions....it suits the car well.Bill- wrote:yes I keep thinking i should haver gone for a 3 ltr
Enjoy it
It looks likes you found an excellent example - and at a stonking price (I can't say I'm not a little envious of the price you paid for the age/mileage compared to what I paid back in Feb - prices certainly seem to have softened from what I've seen...).
That is good you have the original sales invoice so you can add some provenance to the extras fitted.
Well done on finding as what I described in another thread as a "Peach".

looks same as mine, 2001 titanium silver, 37k miles, blue hood, air con, blue m seats, type 32 17" staggered wheels, power hood and lsd, all ordered new from factory. Great spec with only cruise and headlamp wash missing, you will enjoy driving and i average 31 mpg with about 25% town and the rest fast a road commute, ride is a little firm with m suspension when compared to my mums standard 2.0 on 16" wheels but sure grips well
enjoy
