Wanted Z3M Roadster

[Sean d]

Guys I am seriousley in the market for an M, please PM me with anything you know of, I am looking for reasonable miles, nothing around 100k, 80k tops, really dont care what been done or not as it will be getting a full nut and bolt restoration, thanks, any colour considered other then Dakar

Hope you find what you want Sean. Will be looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Will gladly keep an eye out for you and try and do an initial inspection for anything in this neck of the woods to avoid your needless travel.

Btw I quite fancy the idea of a Dakar Z3M. Hangover from my Mk I Escort days I think when every other car was yellow

This is going to be good

I suppose youve already searched Ebay, gumtree, autotrader and pistonheads. All over 22K for sub 80K miles, I was surprised to see even ones at 100K asking over 20K but theres a few at 90K for sub 16K.
Seen one advert for 82K stating lots of work undertaken what ever that may be 1998 BMW Z3M Roadster. Low Mikes. Estoril Blue. For Sale | Car And Classic Good luck with the hunt Sean.

Good luck with the search, I quite like higher mileage examples if they’ve been looked after,bought the roadster with almost 60k on it but very shortly it needed a vanos and lots of stuff had come to the end of its life and m tax is mostly double if you’re lucky lol.My coupe had 110k and everything done.......except paint

Needs to be lower mileage to justify the time and money investment really. 80k would be my tops too. Preferably 60k.

Not if it’s all been done at 100k and loads cheaper

If you are going to do a full restoration then you may as well buy a complete dog. Anything thats done wont be cheap regardless of mileage.

I'd certainly rather buy a 110k car that has fully documented nut and bolt job, over an 70k car with the odd receipt.

1998 silver z3M red/black interior £14k, 92k miles. A19 PVH . Looks good, a lot of things done on it including vanos.Thornberry, north of Bristol. On facebook.

Agree but I think Shaun is thinking of a full rebuild so doubt he wants one that's been done. Imagine he wants one that's all oringinal running gear, knackered and cheap (ish)

 

[Z Victor 1]

Agree @Nodzed, I'm sure Sean will do a total rebuild whatever he buys. He's in the trade so it makes sense.

Much appreciated Robert, Thanks

do so

Thanks Tony, Yes, luckily Im in a position to do so

Whatever I get will need a full refurb, even a good one will not be good enough for what I have planned so Robert is on the button, it will be an indulgence for me,

Thats on the button as well mate, as dare I say it I want a show room finish when done on every aspect of the car

Yep, thats the plan, all running gear off and engine out, think Ill leave the loom in place after seeing Roberts exploits

But youd rather buy a 70k car that has had a nut and bolt refurb over a 110k nut and bolt refurb, surely
