Indeed.

Lovely couple bought it for £5300. Think they are on here under the guise of 'Olly2012'

Was sad to see it go :-(.

Happy Zedding one and all

Re: FOR SALE: 2002 Z3 3.0 M Sport - INDIVIDUAL

As per your recommendations the price has been dropped on both Autotrader and Ebay to £5600.

I thought about getting the window replaced but it doesnt leak and its that noticable so doesnt technically need doing.

That does make me think that £5995 is a bit of a bargain price. No calls in nearly a week since the price drop though :? !

As you say shame it wasn't up while you were looking. Would like it to go to someone that will look after it like yourself.

Hey all,

2 questions...

1) If you replace the rubber clutch hose with a steel braided one does that automatically fix the CDV issue?

2) If you are not up for the DIY option are there any bmw specialists (Surrey area) that will be able to supply the cable and fit it for you? (fixing the CDV issue)
