Re: Z3m roadster For Sale

£18k is a very keen price and if you car has a hardtop coming with it I'd be looking nearer £20k.

Pistonheads is a good place to list and to get an idea of values.

What month '98 was it built?

Good luck with the sale

Re: Gazza - sad news

Still in shock over Gary's death. Top bloke and a good friend to me. This site and the Zed community owe him so much.
I will remember him every time I turn the key in Hamish.
Rest in peace, Gazza.

Re: Cars can be Coronavirus casualties too

Glad you got the Zed sorted, Robert. Nothing worse for cars and batteries than not being driven. That said, at least you got out in the car - happy birthday to it btw. Hamish is a casualty of Covid-19 too..... but of a different kind. He’s still locked up since last November about 25 miles from my h...

Re: Which Z3 to get?

Any of the Z3s you mention will give you "the power for overtaking & the odd thrill on the open road"

My advice, drive as many as possible and buy the one you can't wait to get back into. There's much more to a Zed than cubic capacity. :D

1er RF tyres

Guys,

The front tyres on my e82 are trashed after 30k miles.

I have been offered 2x 215 40 r18 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A for £360 or 2x Dunlop SP01 FOR £320

Are Bridgestone worth the extra £40? Thoughts on wear, noise, grip appreciate too.

Thanks
