So many thanks to 'snatch' for parting with this extraordinary car.

Can't wait for Spa next month!

Congrats.

Would have had this myself a couple of years ago, but the timing was wrong.

Enjoy & please report back when you stop grinning and get your breath back!

Probably be there early afternoon.

stu

Might be popping down with the family in the pork but will come say hi.

stu

On the A500 a couple of miles off the M6. Cheap compared to where I live anyway.

stu

Heard this change was driven by legislation driving an additive out of use but found a cheap Shell garage in Stoke today & put a tank in. Steady cruise back at motorway speeds with the top down of course and saw trip computer claim 38.4 MPG, highest I've ever seen. It's not true as we have uprat...

stu

And my daily IS the Z3.

A Turbo 996 will cost less than a Specced MINI or 1 series btw.

Anyhoo, we're all friends round here except Lord Gary & Lady Jo

stu

Another new battery for our Z last winter too as the car sat with no trickle charger for the best part of 6 months. Fortunately I'd bought the last one from the AA with a 'lifetime guarantee', which they honoured.

stu

Great stuff. Can never get enough of this delightful car.

Daz, the car handles great on track, but I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm sure Bryn & Mel are just as melancholic as Giles & Larri nowadays!

Welcome back.

stu

Very sorry, just back on here after a busy time away on business & holiday. Read your pm, glad you got it sorted.

stu

Not until it was too late unfortunately.

stu

Send me something with proof of ownership and I'll let you know the method. We do not wish to let the information public on the internet for resons of security.

Not seen anything from Billi yet!

2 turbos & RS intercoers & a bunch of other associated items to get it back to top performance at Nine Excellence. Very happy with the results.

Put a data logger in it and did a steady 4.35s 0-60 this afternoon. It's quick.

Had ours just over 2 years now, done about 9k miles and had no work needed that wasn't covered by the supplying dealer expcept new brake pads & discs at the front (which considering the use is reasonable and was only on a par with the Z3's big brake set up in terms of cost). Saying that, it's d...

I drove up from the Midlands in fine sunny 11C to Yorkshire, where it was foggy & 4C. Loved it! Why drive a boring car.

stu

For genuine members, it's not an issue. You might do better on Pistonheads though as the Classified section is huge & it's a popular site.

stu

Welcome Brad. Be sure to bring the Mrs on a cruise, but leave the kids at home

stu

Open air RWD, beautifully smooth straight 6 and enough upgrades to sink a battleship

stu

Hope the weather is good. Too much to do at the moment. Post some pics up.

stu

Dont use new tyres on track unless it's wet as the treads will probably overheat unless you're very careful. Pressures cold need dropping as the heat generated will cause pressures to rise. Take a gauge and inflator for the end of the day. Worth keeping older tyres to do td's due to potential high w...

stu

River 3.5 in an MX5, that's going to be interesting.

Welcome & read up on the tweaks you can do to improve on the Z. 2.8's are pretty robust so 98k is nicely run in if it's been properly maintained.

stu

Yes they work by helping maintain the integrity of the strut tops, just like as standard in the Z4 and lots of other BMW's since, which have a bar from each strut top to the bulkhead.

stu

Bonjour OB Pas des Portes?

Bienvenue a ZR.

Happy New Year everyone.

stu

Still wont be selling the Z but since Dec, our's has been pressed back into service as my commuter car, so going to have a whole lot more use & fun than 2012!

stu

We're off Tuesday for a week in Tenerife. Adios amigos.

stu

Trust me, the Z slagging isn't as bad as it was.

stu

Shanty, a few relatively cheap tweaks, it's transformed, trust me.

stu

Can't comment on their discs but the RS29 pads are exceptionally good for hard trackday use. I would be surprised if they actually make discs, probably getting their brand put on some factored import. Best stock sized discs I found were Brembo Cast Iron, which with the Pagid pads were incredibly goo...

Bargain. Might be worth a run over for a check.

Hi & Welcome

Pics will confirm how nice your new addition is, but it sounds lovely. Nice to find a pampered car I would imagine.

I sincerely hope you also reported the perpetrator to the Police as what they did is despicable as well as an offence.

Glad you've got it sorted.

stu

Congrats and share some pics please.

stu

Those cars look too clean & shiny to me. Before shots I take it?

That looks lovely, congrats.

Hi & Welcome.

Did you ever see our Lakes gatherings in the past?

stu

Gary, what about the 997?

stu

Stu, do you find it difficult to unlock the centre caps of your Alpina Softlines? No, the locks seem OK if kept lubed with WD40 each time they're off & I cheat, using washing up liquid to re-fit the centres. The blank has a special little hook to remove it to give access to the lock. I guess if...

Hi & welcome.

Arctic Silver 2.8 here, only had it 13 years now :-O

Pics please noobs.

stu

Ciao I like your BG Z3. Also a fan of your BMW history. We have a place in Bagni Di Lucca, but haven't yet managed to take our Z3 there for any of our holidays as we usually have to have a family car in Italy. We see lots of Z3's in Italy and always want to wave or stop and talk, but know how stupid...

stu

My first trackday in the turbo was at the Stowe circuit at SIlverstone and all I can say is actually, IMHO, in the wet/greasy/snow, they're just sensational. I couldn't believe just how safe/secure and grippy the car remained. It monstered an M6 that was there, the PSM is very well judged and yes, y...

Someone has lucked in there.

Stu - sounds like a bit of a weapon, I can't deny I've already got my eyes on some 6 pots, you'll have to take me for a spin sometime! Anytime. Can't recommend the 6 pots enough after several trackdays including the Silverstone GP Arena (F1 circuit) with no issues at all. Enjoy the car, even standa...

stu

It's a DMS stage 2, exactly as per the link. Very very happy with the car. It also has GT3 6 pots, techart suspension, quickshifter & a few other bits. Goes well on track too and had a true speed trap 191 mph at Bruntingthorpe!

stu

Welcome to the club. Almost identical to mine. Wonderful car, but we couldn't bare to part with the Z3.

When you're used to 450, give me a shout & I can tell you what 550 is like.

Enjoy.

Not aware of any major specific flaws with 4's, but usual checks should be ok to see everything working. Have fun shopping.
