If anyone is still maintaining the register, or just for general interest of S54 owners No. 53 of 73 the car originally owned by NorwegianBlue, is making it's way to Australia via the Netherlands to start a new life in the sun.

Hi All,

Does anyone have a copy of the S54 M Roadster census please.

It is for a friend of mine who is the current owner of Neil's (NorwegianBlue) Phoenix S54. The links to the spreadsheet on here are broken.

Re: S54 Z3M Roadster - Value?

Only the market knows what it's worth. What others are asking is no indicator of true value, so why not put it up for sale at price you are happy with and see if it sells.

I have just sold my S50 for double what I paid for it 12 very enjoyable years ago.

Good luck

Re: Punctures

Get some good breakdown cover and have it repaired or replaced on site if you are unlucky enough to have a puncture.

If you are taking your car abroad, then set off on the right foot with newish tyres and the car serviced. I have learned this the hard way :)

Rear Shock absorbers S50 M roadster

I have had a couple of advisories for the rear shocks on the M so with all of this spare time, I might as well change them.

Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of OEM other than from the steeler, who has a 6 week lead time?
