Alfie,

I was kinda hoping we would have have been at least one scene with you and di wearing your xmas gear, that would have been a classic, an elf and father xmas perusing the country estate.

Alex

Good of Alfie and Di to attend, we don't usually get TV celebreties (sp).

Can't wait to get their autographs and pictures taken with them.

Having been through the odd recession before I simply cut my cloth to suit my means and look for opportunties that a recession usually brings up.

At the end of the day you start with nothing so if you end up with nothing hey ho, oh and it also gets dark (the end of the day that is).

Alex

All the best on your new adventure and thank you for your input and advice.

The BMW GB car club are holding an event in weston super mare on Sunday 11th July. You can just turn up on the day to 'show' the car off.

The cars I believe will be all parked on the green just behind the seafront.

Search for events on the BMW GB car club website.

You have got one very special Z there, love it.

Alex

How can anyone resist? I didn't believe in Santa until I actually saw hin in the flesh at the last Xmas do. Kids, he is real.

So put Donna and me down for this one.

Alex

italex

I always wave at other z3's and also get a mixed response, but this will not deter me

My other half thinks I am sad but I just ignore her,

Alex

italex

Looks pretty good to me, maybe time for a remap so that you get the maximum benefit of the 'extras'.

As an aside, what did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Alex

italex

I will be looking forward to some piccies of the new mods.

Alex

italex

I think the price and intrest just went up ten fold

Alex

Hi

I have been giving the Z a really good clean and noticed this 'part' on the exhaust back box.

It has a bolt in the centre of the 'black' part arrowed and wondered what it was for and if it does anything??

Thanks

That's exactly what i was thinking Mike.

Also the fact that the noise disappears when the clutch pedal is depressed when turning off.

Alex

italex

Only two postgs!!!

italex

He got hit up the rear but wants to have the front done as well whilst in the body shop.

I recently had to have some body work done and the also did the bonnet whilst in the work shop for an extra £200, so i would think to get the front bumper done would be the same or less

Alex

italex

Hi Mike

Yeah I,ve seen that before. just going to do a search and may give it a go?

Meet at Mcdonalds carpark Minehead opposite Butlins then the route will take us across Exmoor, past Lynton and Lynmouth towards barnstaple then back via Simonsbath, Dulverton - Wheddon Cross.

I have had one or two negative comments and they always come from the same type of person. I do feel sorry for them having such 'low self esteem'.

However by far in the majority are positive comments and admiring glances.

Alex

I dunno, you let the missus take the car out and guess what???? Well, it was like this. This afternoon, after a hard mornings work, (doing the changeover on the holiday home) we get back in glourious sunshine. So I get the Z out and give her a decent bath. So there she is all nice and shiney. So I s...

Donna and I went to look at one today. A sort of gun metal gray with red leather interior. Looks great and I want one. the one we looked at had the steering wheel gearbox paddle thingys and the new styling is very good. The cabin reminded me somewhat of the Z8. Just have to save the pennies, so I ma...

The overall cost was including new hood pratically total respray and replacement parts etc, i.e rear light cluster some new badges and a couple of other bibs and bobs it came to £2700 + Vat I did ask for extra work, i.e front bonnet respray, new motor in the passenger seat and the air con gas refill...

italex

They look really good and I like the colour. That is another item on my to do list. I will just have to save up my pennies

I noticed you have the same rims on your Z as mine. Do you have any idea how much they would cost to be refurbed

Alex

Hi Thanks for the comments. 1. Hood and rear window fit fine. 2. Tailpipes are chrome and are now shiney :) 3. Rear quarter guards going on today. 4. The Beemer will now be kept in the garage, so fingers crossed will stay fine as long as I can keep the kids out of the garage :!: 5. NCD is definately...

Hi all Well I finally got the car back after the respray due to vandalism (paint stripper). When I went back to collect the car the first time I wasn't 100% happy (98%), so they corrected some very minor scratches and now I'm 100% happy. Practically a total respray and new (BMW) hood. They also fixe...

italex

I just had the same recentley.

It was a burnt out motor. About £70 odd to replace.

Evidently they are not that robust, but cheaper than other motors on other cars to replace.

Alex

Could be interested in this. just have to get the Z3 back from the body shop first though!

Alex

You have gained my interest and would like to express my interest.

Also get a free valet

I will have moved by the time I get the car back, and now have a garage to put the car in!

How much does it usually cost for a new genuine BMW hood? I know that a 'specialist' is having to come in to replace the hood.

Alex

Took the car in todat for the work to commence. It will take a couple of weeks. I did have an engineer look at the car at the request of the insurance company. Thankfully they agreed that all the work initially quoted for needs doing, including a new hood (bmw original). I did ask about the propbelm...

I haven't spoken to them yet, but will be speaking to them during the week.

Not holding much hope on them getting anywhere really but worth a try.

Hope you get it sorted quickly & take care in future.

Any other cars done at the same time?

Hi Stu

Only mine

Should get it repaired by the end of March, and by that time will have moved and have an empty garage to put it in.

I have used two Maxtor external hard drives and have not has a problem with either, one is about 5 years ols the other about two years old. The Onetouch software is ok but not essential as you can just plug and play (i.e view the hard drive) and back up to the new hardware using windows back up. Alex

italex

I am going to see the assessors tommorrow, so will try and use some charm and sympathy to see if can be a full respray. The roof and rear window will also need replacing. We are moving soon so it will then be garaged, and fingers crossed like new. I kind of sit on the fence when it comes to getting ...

Hi I think it was paint stripper, it was a jelly type of liquid? Bex, I can't think of me upsetting anyone, I'm such a genial bloke 8-) However I think it was targetted as there were two cars next to mine on the next door neighbours drive and they wern't touched. It may be my incredible good looks, ...
