Finally we have our Z3. The saga is over

See the old thread for that.. http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24763

Here she is, all white, 2.2i, LHD. To get through the SVA we had to replace a broken mirror, so we had it done with M mirrors and very nice they are too

For the SVA, the speedometer had the dialface changed to MPH.. it's quite nasty in white so that will be changed back pdq.

I have seen a couple of white Zeds so far, and it's a colour which really suits the car. Bit weird seeing square number plates!

Nice one, bet your chuffed now the aggravation is over!

I'm really pleased you got it sorted in the end, I missed the last update on the old thread. Well done and now enjoy your Z

Very nice OXO, it looks good in white, but it would, as that is a lighter shade of silver.

I have to admit that I quite like the white speedometer on this car.
What happened to, or had been stuck to, the dash on the left below the steering wheel?

I can appreciate that this must have been an expensive exercise, but my priority would have been to put some windows in the house.

Have fun.

Lovely car and well worth the wait, looks great in white.

What happened to, or had been stuck to, the dash on the left below the steering wheel?

My guess is the card reader for the Japanese toll roads.

Lovely Zed OXO

White looks well although I'm wondering how black side gills and mirrors would look

That's not fair HT - at least the garage has got doors on

I never noticed the gunk under the steering wheel until I looked at the pics.. I'll clean it off for you and take new pics when the sun comes out again.

And..

That's not the house my dutch friend

Thanks to all for the nice comments

Having such a great white paint, taking off the amber covers from the headlight indicators is an absolute must.

Looks really nice in white and another

for the white dials

I have a soft spot for White cars and the Zed really suits it! I love the White dials too, another vote to keep.

Ferdinand · Post by **Ferdinand** » Mon 14 Mar, 2011 16:18

Glad to hear you got the car in the end!!

The white dials are keepers!
IMO the amber lenses should be changed for white/clear ones - and the 3rd brakelight as well!

And with time maybe some 17" wheels - BMW Styling 42...

But it looks really sweet - seen a few white ones and the colour is

Enjoy, and wash it regularly and it wiil always look like a beauty

Love it OXO,

Glad to see those wing mirrors went to a good home!

I love the white Z3s

I offered on a 2.8 in white with red and black interior before I bought my coupe. They look so good.

Well done mate

Thanks all

I put it to bed tonight with a dust sheet over the hood... it lives in a barn where birds and bats etc can fly over the top and drop their poop

Need to find the right cover for it, cos I don't think a cotton sheet will do much good

Nice, steering is on the wrong side though

...and the white fraternity continues its growth by stealth

Looks really good and I've thought about the white dials as I think they look great as well as different...the black gills do look good IMHO as I have on our Coupe:

and the clear indicators also go well as on our M:

White is the new silver

^^ is that a white s54?!?!?

Richardenigma · Post by **Richardenigma** » Sat 19 Mar, 2011 13:45

The wheels are shadow chrome but its not an S54...my other wheels are being refurbished and these are my back up wheels bought on fleabay from a guy who had them on his M3...hoping to get my original wheels wheels back in 2 weeks time all things being equal!
