Hi ... Just wishing to say hello, and at the same time request some assistance !

I'm currently looking to buy a unmodified Z3 3.0 Sport soft top. I have been looking for a while and just recently been let down on a purchase.

I've seen a few tired Z3's and some very nice examples which I've missed. Then there are the very good but expensive cars including the Sytner High Wycombe Z3. I didn't feel I was getting value for money at nearly 13K.....I have been looking!

My ideal price range would be around 7K. I'm based in Herefordshire but willing to travel within reason.

I'm new to forums hence I apologise if I have typed this message in the wrong place. I was unable to place this in the classified section due to lack of permissions.

Thanks ....

Welcome, Perfectly fine you posting all this in your introduction thread. It is becoming more difficult to find the exact Z3 you want and in the right condition, they are out there but as you've found it's a bit of a slog.

Good luck with your search! Gary

:welcome: to the forum from West Cumbria. Good luck with your quest, these cars are getting on a bit so a pristine example may be difficult to find, but they are out there.

Welcome @BowerOak, I think you have a bit of a search on your hands trying to find an unmolested example, saying that a budget of £7k should get you a fine example. Do you have any preferences in colour?

Wow ...I didn't expect such a lot of friendly responses so quickly ....thank you!

I'm glad my budget seems about right and as for a colour preference, silver first with Turquoise Green bringing up the rear.... but beggars can't be choosers so most colours would be considered....

If you can keep me in mind if anything comes up it would be appreciated .... thanks again

Hi Boweroak, welcome from me also in Hertfordshire, good luck with your search but be prepared to wait cos the good 3.0ltr's for sale are getting thin on the ground, seems there's been a run on them in the last few years but one will turn up for you if your prepared to wait. Rha, Roy.:happy:
