Hi, my name is Tony married to Jeano living in North Shropshire. I had a beautiful Burnt Sienna Z3 for 9 years and foolishly sold it 3 years ago to buy a Mercedes that i never gelled with which has now been replaced with an XF Jaguar. But there is still a hole in my life where the Z used to be, made even worse by the fact that my wife has now even admitted to missing it and wanting another one saying that i should have just kept it! A little late now.lol. The upshot is that we are looking for a tidy 6 cylinder Z3 preferably a sport with decent history and miles but not neccesarily immaculate as i don't want a garage queen it's going to be used. Cash waiting for the right car or i have a Buell X1 lightening owned from new in 2001 that i may trade, but that will maybe be a mistake as 3 years down the line swmbo will probably say i should have kept it and this intro will be rewritten on the Buell website.
What is it about the Z3 that gets into your blood? I spent along time looking for my last one paid a lot of money for it at 3 years old with 19000 miles on the clock and never once regretted a penny of it. After 9 years of ownership and another 60000 miles added it still attracted car park attention and comments about how good it looked. The styling is ageless,it was designed to be retro and will never date, like an Austin Healy 3000 or a Triumph Stag is gets better with age, just like me then. Add in the fact that it's reliable and cheap to maintain, just like me again, and it becomes a no brainer for anyone wanting a 2 seater with a rag roof.
So that's me in a nutshell, a Z3 enthusiast who has just found out that his wife is a closet Z3 enthusiast.
