New Z3 3 litre

[Pond]

Finally got my Z3 today. 3 litre with 54k miles. Sounds nice, I'll give it that!

Looks great. Seems a shame to chop it up

That looks lovely and in great condition. Topaz blue is the best colour (biased ofc!)

He's hardly "chopping it up" and there will be some very good used panels to be had by the look of it.

Have I missed something? Why is there talk of “chopping up”.?

I’d be very interested if there’s any Topaz panels going.!

Are we sure it's Topaz as it doesn't seem to be metallic? I can't find the paint code on it.

There will be, yes. I haven't checked it all properly as yet, but none are perfect paint wise.

Yes it's Topaz Blue - should read as topas-blau on the opposite front suspension tower to the one with the build date on which will be December 2000

I guess you're waiting

If I'm not mistaken @Pond is going to add a tribute body kit which replaces all the standard body panels.

Found it and yes it is. I think the Americans ran out of metallic bits just before mine was painted!
It has been in storage for quite a while, so the paintwork is a bit 'dull'. Needs cleaning properly!

I wouldn’t say Topaz is a particularly metallic colour, more a really deep, lustrous navy blue.

Would be really interested in sills and front wings, if you could let me know in due course, thanks!
