Re: RX8 to Z3
Hi... just got shot of my RX-8 too, part exchanged against a brand new 3 series saloon sport (what a car that is.... smooth!!), I've had my Z3 for a few years now. The two cars are totally different, but you won't be disappointed. Did you notice any symptoms with your RX-8? All of a sudden mine deve...

New 3 Series Saloon
Had a sneak peak at the new 3 series saloon yesterday at my local $tealers and it looks a lot better in real life than it does in pictures. This was a 320d Sport in Melbourne Red. The one on show of cause had about 10k of extras fitted but I still think the standard OTR Sport model would like pretty...

Steering wheel refurb
Wasn't quite sure where to post this... Many who attended the BMW Show at Santapod last year will have come across Jack Mizerski from http://royalsteeringwheels.com/ , a chap that refurbishes steering wheels, for those who didn't I thought I'd post some pics. I had mine recovered with padded black l...

what a grey world we live in
Took a trip to my local dealers today.. just browsing. Parked up and went for a wonder. On turning back towards the car I was struck by the lack of colour in the cars on offer. Lots of whites, silvers, greys and blacks. My Bright Red 11 Zed stood out like a sore thumb!!.... or red rose amounst thorn...

A new friend for my Z3........
Bought and new car last week... got fed up with the Vectra SRI and wanted something as a daily work drive that I enjoyed driving.

New Steering Wheel
When at Santapod last weekend I met Jack Mizerski. He has a steering wheel refurbishing business and, from what I saw does a great job. There was only one problem. My Z3 was built in Oct 2000 and has a "E46'ish" steering wheel with the two forks at the bottom. It has a slip ring on the bac...

What are your thoughts on a black rear end?
I have already had a my little 1.9 exhaust tip changed to something more befitting the kudos of the Z3. Now I'm wondering whether to go for the black mid section as sported on the 1 series and new 3 series M coupes. Hopefully the gif below will give the gist. What are the thoughts of the masses?? ht...
