Hello from Billings Montana!

Hello everyone! My name is David and I own a 1999 Z3 Roadster 2.3 with 81,000 miles on it. I just purchased it this spring (2022) and I’ve been driving it and tinkering with it most of the summer now. So far I’ve painted the wheels white (the original silver was terribly scratched), replaced the air intake hoses, added a cold air intake and generally “fixed” a few things like the drooping glove box etc. I still have a few things to do to her but that’s for this winter’s projects!

Hi David, welcome from me near Lincoln, UK. Currently in Florida. Some colours look good with white wheels and IMHO yours is one of them.

Never seen a Z3 that colour, is it original?

Thank you! The original silver color of the wheels just seemed such a muted color and the white just seemed to make the wheels pop!

I was a bit unsurevwhen I read white wheels, but as Tony said they do suit the car colour.

Sorry about the mis-types!

'Violettrot' , I don't think it was an option in the UK, certainly never seen one. It looks similar to a 'Merlot' Z4.
