Difficult to answer that just yet Paul. The 3.0 drives much tighter than my 1.9 but I don't know if this is down to the strut brace or bushes. Only collected the car Friday and have not really had chance to look at any oily bits properly yet (not that I'm much of a mechanic!) Might be able to...

My driveway has looked worse to be fair...

Paul I am 100% with you. I've got them both side by side on the drive way and to my eyes the pre-facelift is the better looking car. This 3.0 was a bargain that I would of been a fool to pass up so that's why I have it. But to be honest I am over the moon with it. Life is always a compromise and...

Hey Dino. The 1.9 has done 94k and has had a few new suspension bits (all standard). The 3.0 is on 122k and feels tighter than my 1.9. I think the bushes are new and it has a front strut brace. Although I think the front shockers are past best. The 3.0 definitely doesn't feel unsafe and I...

I know that I've read countless threads about the 1.9 v's 6cyl debate, but now that I have both sitting on my driveway I'd like to wade in with my first hand experience. Firstly I am over the moon with my 3.0. BUT I would also say that I have a new appreciation for my 1.9 that was only...

:welcome: from Telford!

Have you treated the roof with something to make it repel the water like that?

I keep seeing your car as I live in Telford as well! Run into your dad briefly at the Woodbridge and had a perv at his car a couple of months back. Also I was at the most recent midlands breakfast club but I was in my mates tatty Chimeara and he was in his Griff 500 (having a bit of a TVR day!)...

I've reformed myself as a child of the t'internet era and I try my best not to put inflammatory and scathing comments in the public domain therefore I will simply say... ... I don't like it.

I've only read good things about him (mainly when I was researching on Facebook). I called him regarding my roof and had a lengthy conversation with him and I got a seriously good vibe about him and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Add that to the fact that the cheapest...

As someone who just bought his second Z on Friday (3.0 roadster) I highly recommend it. Just do what I did and tell your wife / partner after you've pulled up on the driveway in it and already handed over the cash. That way they can't say no and they don't talk to you all weekend so you get some...

... and I have finally found the needle in the proverbial haystack. With a very limited budget I have been looking / dreaming about upgrading my 1.9 to a 2.8. Then on Friday it finally happened, the holy grail an affordable 3.0 in quite frankly excellent condition! (except the wheels) Spent...

Z3's have definitely hit the bottom of their depreciation curve. Are they likely to go up in value I think probably yes they will if the general trend of car values continues. They are little sports cars with big naturally aspirated engines which quite frankly will be a thing of the past (if not...

Welcome to the forum ScottyB from Telford in Shropshire. I do also have an American connection as my Dad lives in Freeport Illinois! Was there last month for two weeks soaking up the fantastic weather :thumbsup:

Yeah I think this particular vehicle has had a good drenching, I think it can be saved but I think removing the interior might be the way to go.

Thanks Andy just found that and read through, that looks doable! Even for me.!

OK so I'm possibly about to pull the trigger on buying Z number two, its a bit of a project but I'm feeling like I haven't spent thousands of pounds on something I don't need in at least a year or so, time to shake things up a bit. Also my girlfriend likes to find things to moan about and she's...

I would class myself as a car enthusiast, but I think I have accidently become a BMW enthusiast as well. I have had in chronological order: E30 325i SE saloon in zinebar red. E32 735i SE in dolphin grey E46 328Ci Sport with factory aero kit in Topaz Blue and now my Z3 of course. ...possibly soon...

Very true it really was a great drive, also spotted two other zedders while I was out and gave them a wave :coolsteer)

I'm sorry to say everything was 100% right with it. I offered the guy £400 above his asking price to sell it to me but he was too honest for his own good and wouldn't sell it because I guy had promised to buy today.
