Yeps those were standard fit on 2.8 - that’s what mine looked like long ago before I finished it off properly
They are a very light wheel for OEM.

There are no 17 inch version of these wheels unless you mean the //M wheel like I run now:

Mine are actually Italian made replicas and also very light (7,5j all around). They also made these (the Italian replicas) in 18 inch which is super rare.
Not selling these ever!

A good 5 spoke wheel in 17inch in a similar style is the e46 like this:

Quite easy to find and should look great in shadow chrome to bring out the curves more.


That 2.8 is good price and nice spec, too many will be put off by replacing the bonnet (which in fact is very easy with two people) so probably will take ages to sell..

Nice wheels! Where do I recognise them from .........................................

Did someone mention angle grinder?

Anytime you like, it’s here and waiting!

It used to belong a bloke who HAD good taste but then he sold it....

Quite satisfying is taking an angle grinder to old car panels, especially older car ones like that.

@Dino if that old Z3 had been a 2.8 or even a 3.0 I would still have it if I'm honest mate, but, I really do like my new old banger as a daily use car.

i think its a bit of a shed actually.

Poorly specced and damaged (no heated seats, no sports seats)

also the wheels are hideous little coasters

Mot history looks ropey as had the same advisories since 2013 so looks like lack of maintenance.

if it was £1300 it would be worth it as i reckon that needs a fair bit of work

 

[Z3_Irish]

Looks like it needs a bit of body and costmetic work but if the car is mechanically sound then a bargain as can sort the rest over time

 

[Juvvajuvva]

Agree, you need a Merc van or bigger or trailer. I measured a transit and it won’t fit. I had to hire a Merc van in the past.
Now I wrap them in duvets and plastic and strap them to the roof bars on my 4x4.

Sounds like the vast majority of non-enthusiast maintained Z3s then

All those advisories are now flushed out after fails on them last year though. And to be honest I wouldn’t necessarily fix advisories depending on what they were.

I have messaged him to go for a look see but I haven’t heard back yet.

It’s ok Tony, we forgive you

 

[Juvvajuvva]

How did you get the advisories without the number plate?

The numberplate is in the pictures.

 

[Juvvajuvva]

Yeah, I couldn’t get the resolution so I texted the guy. Very little MOT left on it.I feel it is a project!
I think I may go and have a look but the other 2.8 on here looks like a much nicer car.

 

[mrscalex]

You can just about read it close enough then use trial and error. From memory R56GDX ?

 

[Juvvajuvva]

Nice one, thanks buddy. Does look like it has been a little unloved but I think I’ll take a look anyway. They all go on merit anyway. Not sure I have room for 5 ladies on my drive though! Ha ha. Gonna sell the San Remo and the 3.0 this summer so I’ll need something to keep me out of trouble.

 

[Keith Lowes]

Yeah they are the standard fit alloys I'd love to get hold of if I could find a 17" set but they are quite hard to come by.

I have a set if you're interested

 

[Disca]

I have a set if you're interested

Sadly it would not be a viable purchase in the near future for me funds wise!

They all good in the photos
