Wanted Help me find my old Z3

[Mnbrennan]

My old z3 is still alive and kicking having covered less than 500 miles per year for the last 3 years. 2.0 currently on c. 53k miles. Guess it's been squirreled away

It was such a great car!

Do you know what part of the u.k it's in Martin ?.
Looks extremely tidy in the photos .

I sold it to a guy who hailed from Leeds. Shortly after he said it might be back up for sale as he was considering an M, which is why I sadly let it go. Bought in May 13 sold January 14. For a lowly sum as I had put a deposit on the Coupe. I didn't even fit the HT I had bought!

 

[Bozzy]

The one that got away .
So if that chap sold it on, it could now be anywhere I guess.
Keep em pealed folks.......where have I heard that before.

Looks like that one Synclare got hold of last year ................................

Looks like its been very well maintained Martin, the MOT history is outstanding, but doesn't give the location anymore

Yes it was in excellent condition, once it had been given a polish. Poverty spec but such a joy to drive. I do remember the vibration under braking, I never got round to resolving it.

When I got the coupe I missed the top down driving, hence buying the smurf. Really I should have just stored it

It's a real 'bummer' when you sell something and then regret it. Sold my 2.8 with only 35 K on it. What a plonker ! They say,'You live and learn', but sadly when you're an idiot like me......!
Good luck with the search, but what if you find it ? Could be great,but not for sale or could be a wreck.

On the last MOT there was a test centre number. You can use the number to find out where the garage that carried out the MOT resides.

Thanks @raymond
I reckon he would sell Smurf to have his old Zed back
This is why I can't bare to sell Panther, even tho I can't afford both I know I would regret selling

This is why i have covered the Z3 up, hoping Jacquie will forget i still have it, unfortunately it's on the drive in front of the living room window so not much hope.

Smurf is so much nicer!

i still regret selling my old Mk1 golf, however at the time financial sense took hold and i got rid. i needed to at the time and wish i'd kept in touch with the new owner to buy it back.

However in your case i would never even drive the standard car if i had a Z3M in the garage! Sell the black one and have more time and money to hoon in the ///M

I certainly see what you are saying but if i am being honest I prefer the sound of 2.2 over the 3.2
Having an M is soooo overrated and a BIG money pit

Swap the M for my 2.8?


or just sell the M, surely you will end up quids in?

Solution: Fake her out. People can buy a picture of something and place it in their window to look like a different scene than is actually outside: example:

Window Murals

You need one taken of the front driveway WITHOUT the car and have the picture placed in the window.................Frankie

Get a proper exhaust and you won’t say that!
I’ve had a 2.2 and it sounds nice but nothing as nice as a quality aftermarket exhaust does.

The money needed to run an M is what made me stay away (back in the good old days an M wasn’t much more than my sorted 2.8!). That and the fact I was certain 300bhp in that would kill me!

I’d still have an M if I had money to burn!

 

[Paul Rice]

When you said "Fake her out" @FRANKIE thinking bit drastic that till i realised you meant the car!

If you're truly interested in finding out where the car is you should be able to request the current owner information using this form:
