You could try Harpenden cars. Actually based in Luton if that's not too far.

paulg

1990 C2 targa, marine blue. 141,000 miles not that you'd know it to look at. Don't know what my 3.0i would have been worth with that sort of mileage on!

paulg

Here you go Gazza. Classic German engineering.

Another of my blue on blue piccies.

paulg

Has to be blue roof on a topaz. Piccie of my old 3.0. have some better ones which I can post on monday.

paulg

I was going to suggest an Alpina D3, but was beaten to it.

paulg

You might think you don't want a Porsche, but pull the other one! You know you want to join us (ex Z3 owner, now a 964) really.

paulg

Me no, but bank balance probably will! Enjoying getting used to it, getting out there putting bits right, and making a list of what to do next.
Working on getting the shine up to my standards too.

paulg

As some of you are aware I sold my Z recently. Here's its replacement. Hope you approve.

paulg

Superglue and araldite don't work.

paulg

Yep, sounds like battery to me. Had the same on mine. About £60 at dealers.

paulg

New owner lives down that way.

paulg

No longer a Z owner

, but in a week or so should be a 964 owner

If you spot a sparkling topaz 3.0 around the new forest area, give it a wave for me.

paulg

Yes it is good, but consider Renovo too which is highly respected.

No need to hunt for the porker as a deposit is already paid! It was a matter of selling the Z so I could collect the 964.

paulg

My wonderful 3.0i has found a buyer. Managed to agree a cash deal which will be concluded on Thursday. Taking it for a test drive this evening confirmed what a great car it is (sun out, top down). Will be quite sad to see it go, but I'm sure that will disappear once I get into my 964 (will post some...

paulg

If they manage to get mine they'll be replacing with an equally special car!
Someone please buy mine, or Ian and Debbie's!!

paulg

Here's hoping mine follows yours into the sunset!

paulg

Can't do much better the ACS wheels on the red M in this thread in my opinion (and it's not mine).

paulg

You do need the screws. They replace the existing ones.

paulg

Can be done. Mine was the only one I looked at. Lucky I guess.

paulg

JonytP,
thanks for the sell! I'm baffled too. Had a couple of tentative enquiries, but no viewings. Once someone actually sees it, I think it'll go quickly.
Be nice if it went to someone here.

paulg

I think you'll struggle to find a worth while 3.0 for that sort of money.

paulg

Here's mine if you're interested:

It's my 3.0i advertised for £10.5k and must go soon! Engine is fantastic, but never driven a 2.8 so can't comment on the differences.

paulg

I have a set of 17" 5 spokes you can have iball. They're still attached to the car though and cost £10500 (or thereabouts)!!

paulg

Just realised I had a bit of a stammer in that post!

paulg

Had the roof down on our 320 SLK today to and from the Spurs match(Z is in the garage, dosn't get taken to footy)! SLK is a better car with the roof down than up, but no match for a 3.0i Z3 (or a a 964 targa)!

paulg

I found the Halfords topaz touch paint a much better colour match, and has a very fine brush which is much easier to use.

Almost went for a spyder myself, and then saw the light!
Doesn't sound like you drove a good example, so put that out your mind and try some more.

paulg

Blimey, think I'm alone in thinking they belong on the E46!

paulg

Not bad Andy, but I think I prefer mine!

paulg

Thanks Gazza, just wish I could find someone else who would appreciate owning it. No interest at all yet, even at a realistic price. Deposit is paid on its replacement, so it has to go. Had a quote for selling it to Hexagon BMW, but don't want to go that route unless absolutely necessary. C'mon guys...

paulg

iball,
you have pm.

paulg

iball,

paulg

iball,
as smartypants says, you can do no worse than have a look at mine! It's also on Pistonheads, and Autotrader.

Fellow MTBer here. Went to full sus back in '99, and still running the same bike (Specialized FSR XC Pro). Try the Specialized FSR XC range if you're into general cross country stuff. Can't go wrong with them. Copes with all sorts, including more extreme stuff like Coed Y brenin, etc.

paulg

Sundardriver,
I originally wanted a 911 (964) but couldn't afford it, and was lucky to find this beauty instead. I'm now in a position to go for a 964, so although I've loved the Z, it's making way for the car I've long been after.
Fingers crossed someone soon takes a fancy to this great Z.

paulg

So's this one, it's mine!

Mine are the same too.

You'll find answers to all your questions by using the search facility. Don't own an M, so I won't comment on the remap, or filter. The leak is a common one. Try adjusting the hooks that fix the roof to the header rail. Undo the small grub screw with an allen key, and turn the hook clockwise to tigh...

paulg

Try pulling away the the leather surround (it simply clicks in place) and pull it forward over the handbrake. this should then expose a tywrap which you can cut. The hanbrake may (can't remember for sure) have a locking screw which is removed to release it.

paulg

I paid about £25 for the Renovo cleaner and proofer at a car last weekend. Previously used the Autoglym which works very well. What extra do you get for the BMW @£50? The Renovo @£66 must also include the the dye which you can use if your roof is looking very sad to bring back the colour.

paulg

Followed a dark green M Coupe off M1 at J10 @ 7am this morning. Number may have been N30..... but can't remember now. Any takers?

paulg

See item 3 on this link. No idea about Z4 fitment though.

Replaced mine with a shorter leather version. Available from BMW.

paulg

If it's a standard gear knob, it just pulls off, not twists. You need to pull it very HARD, and as Gazza says, keep everything out the way!
I replaced mine on the Z and E46, but had to ruin the E46 one so stubborn was it.
