I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
New driver side door collected yesterday from the paint shop... Stripped the "old" door off, transferred all the working components to the new door, re-hung, fitted / adjusted to have smooth all round gaps..greased window slide nylons and channels...Very pleased it's working smoothly and is waterproof too. Just need to adjust the height - top stop to be 5mm lower, but I've run out of speed, and a couple of really cold lagers are calling...

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Just bought some M mirrors off eBay, unfortunately not the right colour though
I've just fitted cruise control too after reading Brian H's excellent write up in the knowledgebase.
Also fitted some M sill covers that I got from eBay for the princely sum of £15 and I've finally got round to fitting some Kenwood component front speakers which have been sat in the garage for ages
While I was ensconced in the footwells, I thought I'd have a go at fitting some lights like g8jka has. All fitted and connected up to the output from the ZKE module - working like a good 'un..... For about 5 mins then flickered and packed in, also shorting out the standard interior lights Oh well, something to do tomorrow then

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
The chrome dial surrounds were an option it seems...my Z came with them as standard. They are a neat touch though... I've seen them in black too, or maybe they were blacked afterwards.

Ans yes you can have them in black chrome as an original item.Southernboy wrote:The chrome dial surrounds were an option it seems...my Z came with them as standard. They are a neat touch though...

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
I bought the Red Zed a new home - or at least a better home! After about two years of off-and-on work I have converted its Garage From Hell into a de luxe motor house, with stereo, air conditioning, double glazing, and an entrance lobby to keep the heat in. It changed this:
To this:
With about 250 mm of fibreglass in the walls and ceiling it should be quite cosy once I get the air conditioning compressor fitted - it gives 3700 watts of heat output for only 1200 watts in. That will be the next job, followed by a few more shelves, and painting the floor in pale grey gloss epoxy paint.
OK - it cost about 4,000 Euros, which is more than the car is worth, but who cares?
