Steel Grey S54 on Pistonheads!!!!
One of only 3 ever made apparently, I would have definitely bought it if I hadn't just bought a Z4m
Must be worth a serious look, especially as it includes a hardtop and spare set of wheels.

I bet that car has got a shed load of miles on it, it just has the ''feel'' of a car that's been ''used''; interior is nasty, what it needs is some deep blood red/black seats and and blood red leather fascia replacements, some schnitzer pedals/handbrake handle and a short shift gear knob, jonttt's Breytons and a red hood, that's what i think anyway
I like the exterior, however, not keen on the interior colour. If I was looking to purchase I would like to see close up pic's of the arches as this Zed may have been used for long trips along the Devon coast and may well be showing some signs of sand blasting.
I would have given the mat and foot well a good clean before taking pic's, it's all about presentation.
Good price and rare colour.

IIRC this particular car was up for sale not that long ago and I didn't like the grey interior much then either.
IMO the best interior combination with steel grey is imola red, but that one is very definitely taken.
Edit: One thread is here - no pics though.

Alfie, from the BMW confirmation it must be the standard grey one ?Alfie wrote:Just checked my copy of the S54 register and this car is not on it, so we don't have a VIN to allocate it its rightful place on the spreadsheet!
Can anyone tell if the interior colour is the usual grey/black that we know, or is it a lighter grey?

"x3 Steel Grey (kiwi/black; grey/black; red/black)"
Best colour for a zed IMHO
If I could find the cash (or just sell her audi) I wont love to buy it and have a matching pair, then reality kicks on

Mmmmmmmmm definitely the best colour. Seats are okay but mine are much nicer.
It is the one that was on Pistonheads about 18th months ago. I remember the registration number. A friend did one of those text checks on it and it was clear at the time. No VIN available as it was a cheap check but the engine number was 61332627 and registered 18th January 2002.
Someone ought to snap that car up and pick up some secondhand imola/black seats and change them.
I've seen red and black seats up for sale on a number of occasions so it is not impossible
Hope Sharky's bro/sister goes to someone on this forum!

I nearly bought an Imola Coupe with Grey/Black, looks ok.
I think it's good value for money. I'd buy it but do I really need two S54's ?

I thought about buying this one but recall offering £10250 when it was last on P Heads and that was accepted
Asked for more pics and saw that the wheels were all kerbed and the bumper was in need of repair - made me think that it was unloved so I left it alone
Now up at £12950 so thats not a bad profit if the price I offered was the price it sold at
But the grey/black is not for me either . Has to be black/red

No this was when it was owned by previous owner in Bristol. Agree that problems re wheels and scuffs are OK but I always feel that that indicates that the car is neglected. Totally personal view
I have spoken to the current owner who has "fixed" the car so its now in good shape
But the grey/black is a bit dull in my opinion so I decided against it
A balck with black/red with turn up or the current imola red advertised at £10950 needs to drop to make it attractive

The Imola red was looked at by someone from the forum and "has a few issues" ie is not in as good condition as the pictures imply
The is no "set price" price with Z3m's a the moment with so many very low mileage S50's being advertised at c£14-£15k but not shifting (ie "speculative" sellers who are not that bothered about selling but advertising anyway). I think these are falsly inflating others expectations for higher mileage cars ?
This makes it an even "greyer" area how the S54's fit into the price structure.
Personally I like the grey interior (not as "bright" as the red which does put some people off but not as "sombre" as the all black). I think its one of those you should see in the flesh as cheap flash cameras often mislead ?
I don't think the price is far off for a lowish mileage S54 (one of only 3 greys) if its got documented history. The seller has left some room for "negotiation" I think but nothing wrong with that.

Mine has kerbed wheels and body scuffs/dents, just unfortunate accidents and not neglect.Bieldside wrote:Agree that problems re wheels and scuffs are OK but I always feel that that indicates that the car is neglected. Totally personal view

No offence meant to those with kerbed alloys !
You need to see my wife's car which is dented through no fault of her own but is left parked where cars park all day long in and out
Door dented/front scraped/ bonnet scratched/ wheel kerbed when forced into the side
But rather than travel 100s of miles I make that judgement about cars
- rightly or wrongly
Has always worked so far as I have bought "blind" on the basis of trust and the car turns up miles adrift from the promised excellent condition (only twice thats happened)

Yup seconded, this car should have long gone...steel grey against a black & red interior would be an awesome color combo, all you'd have to do is factor in say £800 for a retrim or source some seats..
