thank you!!, yes I like them with coloured tops, (on the right colour car that is), a few of my friends that have seen it say they would have black but im going to stick with red I think.

chill4x4saph

nice car, just needs a few little jobs (new roof primarily), but 48K, loads of history. but should make a lovely car with very little tlc. heres two pics from the journey home. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a478/chilli1974/033_zps01edfa13.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a478/chilli1974...

Cheers everyone for the comments.. The porsche is probably the closer to estoril blue. It has too much Red for me, and the red is brighter than the tanin red interior I can get but it does give me a good comparison. hmmm decisions decisions... I just find the blue interior of the M looks cold.... (...

me likey!!!!........, looks cooool!...., does it actually have any functioning suspension though?!?!? (that's not a facetious question btw, ive just always wondered when I see things so low?)

that looks wicked!!!

ive often wondered how the s52 compares also?

very nice!!!....., love that pearl white!!!

there's got to be a few gone from the total, this was the one I had years ago (excuse the pics, I never really took any of that one for some reason?!?!, infact the ones I have are what other people took!), this was about a year old at the time, with around 1200 miles on! this one was number 4 of 73 ...

Congratulations! I picked up an almost identical Z3MR during the summer - 02 reg and same colour. Haven't done many miles in it yet but I know you will love it.

Just hope the garage it's in is secure coz its mighty windy here tonight. Thelwall viaduct closed to all vehicles and Warrington gridlocked because of it.

chill4x4saph

thank you very much, again!, I really don't want to sound bigheaded, but it honestly looks six months old, its borderline too nice to actually use. ill have to look for another one to run I think!! :head: :head: :head: I see youre only in lymm, its actually at my parents house in warrington as we sp...

I washed it today (yes in this crappy weather), as I wanted to get the road grime off it from the journey home, then I took a few pics, it was raining so couldn't get any non wet ones really (apart from the two in the garage) anyway here they are!! http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a478/chilli1974...

im game!.... and I don't mind cutting parts out of it!!, ive a milling machine here so can do it very neatly!

if you purely are wanting one to do its job and don't mind the way that one looks im sure it would do the job just fine (the second one), its just a case of the shock load being transferred across the whole front end of the vehicle, which im sure both of those would do just fine!!

Hi I have yet to be 100% convinced they are required I have had them fitted to a few vehicles (never a z3, yet but am now looking for one I must admit), I can assure you they are a very good chassis improvement, they've always made a difference that can be felt (on certain cars rear ones make more ...

chill4x4saph

yeah its full black trim, its number 60. I know it is because of the date it was made, early 2002. and its got a hardtop, and just done 22000 miles. its very very straight, in fact the only thing wrong with it (at least the only thing I can so far think of) is that I probably cant bring myself to us...

chill4x4saph

no, not zcades.

and I must admit I agree, estoril has always been my favourite too!....., to be fair I like phoenix, and silver and the various greens and most of the colours, but im a sucker for estoril.

chill4x4saph

thank you!!........., but no, this ones estoril.

chill4x4saph

ooops!, sorry!.

I only got it home last night, will give it a clean and get some photos up on a new thread in the next few days.

got it from a forum member, and I believe its been owned by another forum member before that.

as far as I can gather its car number 60 of the s54's.

chill4x4saph

yippee!!!,
got one!!

hi Mike,
ill send you a pm.

chill4x4saph

lucky man!!
if that's the one from pistonheads the other week with 21000 miles on, id be willing to give you good profit on it!!!..... but must admit id keep it if I were you!! haha!!

chill4x4saph

Good luck on your search. I was watching the market all last year with cash waiting for a low mileage S54. In the end i settled for a low mileage S50. I did go look at a couple but just as bandman gee is, I'm quite fussy with the attention to detail. Joycey thank you!!..., like I said before the s5...

chill4x4saph

all joking aside, ive never driven any non m z3's, are they that slow?, I mean back when I first passed my test when the current model bmw was the e30 3 series, I had a few 318i's and a few 320 and 325i's and my favourite by far was the 318, lovely little cars to drive, in fact to this day Ive not f...

there was one a fortnight ago on pistonheads, 2002 s54 estoril blue, hardtop, 21000 , offers around £14000, but by the time id sold my car to raise the funds it had gone!!, like I say, im not to bothered about s54 or s50 as imo after having both when they were fairly new cars, (s50 had 8000 miles on...

I should really add, im willing to pay up to 15k for the right low miles car. Go for condition and low miles, the perfect match! And if it's unmodded then that's a bonus too! yeah I know!! ;-) for 15k id really expect to be buying an s54, in very nice condition, with a/c, sub 50,000 miles! the last...

hi Gazza, thanks for the info!, someone else sent me a link to it also. it is a lovely thing, and I fully agree a good price for an honest car, but id like to try and find something with a bit fewer miles (if I can), and as I want to use it very minimally, I think something more stock standard looki...

it does look lovely in the pics, and its not horrid like I say, but the drivers bolster, and the big gap in service stamp dates just don't add up, I see it at around 7k tops really, and im not trying to do its value down or trying to get my hands on one for a steal or anything, but it just doesn't l...

thanks for the info, but I actually had a look at that the other day (its only 30 mile from me) its not horrible, but the photos make it look a lot nicer than it is, and I really don't believe the mileage. ive not owned one for a while, but ive kept my eye in with them and I don't see that one at 9k...
