Hi everyone,

For the last 5 yrs I've been the owner of a 51 plate 3.0 Z3. She has the steptronic auto box, which I actually like a lot (groans from manual purists no doubt). Together we've covered over 60,000 miles, though she's now been semi-retired and in use as my wife's local run around rather that sharing my 30 mile commute each day. Economics have come into it & I can no longer afford to put £300.00 of fuel in her each month just to get to work & back!

The Z3 is in lovely condition, but I'm now looking to pamper her a little, so if anyone knows of a pair of electric heated sports seats in beige for sale then please let me know.

I'm posting a full sized pic which I hope other members will like.

Phil

Welcome Phil.

3rd introduction thread this evening and I'm running out of words to use... Cracking! Love the red roof, wish more people would opt for it.

steptronic auto box

Love them, big auto fan - particularly the BMW Steptronic and I've had 3 different beemers with the same unit in. Most people who mock auto boxes either haven't driven them much or don't know how to drive them. Anyway, enough of my ramblings about it...

Enjoy your time here. Gary

Welcome Phil!
Ash has two seats (not sport, but in a great condition and great price)!

Not heated but as the old original kit could brake down anytime (on original seats), maybe is more convenient to install new heating kit on these seats.
The heating set, as I know, is universal for any seats and should be not so expensive...
Take a look and make some calculation...

Welcome from mid northern freezing Canada!! Love the colour combo! JIM

Yes, another fine Beige interior you see..... One instinctively knows when something is right....... Like having body coloured side gills, which allow the eye to sweep along the form from nose to tail without distraction. The chrome line windscreen sits well with this colour and does not jar, as not part of the profile. The soft top colour is super!

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the compliments. Still getting used to the site so only just seen shed loads of messages! Must try to be more observant!

She doesn't think so! She wanted me to chop in the Z for my day to day Volvo C30 & keep her 53 plate Astra Club. She does have some strange ideas!!!

Hi,

These are exactly the same as mine. I find them OK for an hour or so but frankly uncomfortable on longer runs & she's going to turn into being used as a summer GT now so comfort is king!
