New Member - Deposit just paid on a Z3

[handsomejackuk]

weclome to the forum from south wales i have a m44 16 valve engine, and while the performance is not earth shattering its more than adequate and good on fuel getting 40mpg on a long run with careful use of the loud pedal. Your car looks like its probably the m43 8 valve 118bhp motor as previously mentioned my car has thea140bhp motor, but i dont doubt that your car maybe as quick if not quicker than mine would love to try an 8 valve against mine for comparison... i suspect mine seems a bit down on power... although mine had higher milage too... at 108,000

your car looks nice enjoy it when the sun comes out and join in a few of the zroadster organised events theres plenty to choose from

Well the Z3 is home. 150 miles driven back from Norfolk and it is running fine. Feels like a nearly new car. Hit some heavy rain and no leaks. Gave it good wash when I got home and it is tucked up in the garage now. I am amazed at how good the bodywork is on a 17 year old car. Just the odd stone chip. No dings or scrapes. Good drivers seat bolster too. Drivers seat is at its highest and just clicks, no movement up and down, so will have to have a look at that. Overall very happy

A little birdie told me (and maybe a few others) that you’re the king of sideways
