Any more details on the bbs wheels - style, width, condition, etc?

Bi11

That's my silver M Roadster in the photo. The previous owner fitted the Eisenmann exhaust. It is the sport rather than the race(in case they fit differently). If you go back a page in the thread where you found the picture (Bi11's S54 M Roadster - page 3)there are a couple of pictures that show the ...

Bi11

Only just got around to sorting out Photobucket etc, so thought I'd better post a couple of pictures of Shantybeater's old s54 as it looks now. Parked next to an older relative. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/Bi11B/DSC01226_zps54e4c9f1.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/Bi11B/DSC...

Bi11

Just looked at exotic wrecks and I am not so worried about the boot welds now - more concerned how well the front end is welded on!

Bi11

Hope you all have a good weekend, unfortunately off on holiday for 2 weeks, so won't be there. Hopefully will meet you all another time.

Bi11

There is one listed on pistonheads at the moment (not mine, that's definitely not for sale!)

Bi11

Nice car, had the use of a Mustang while in California for 3 weeks back in 1989. Think it was a 1967 3.5 cu inch ( but I could be wrong) stick shift with a boot. Went like stink in a straight line. I'm envious

Bi11

Luckily my neighbour has a car lift (used to rally a Morgan) so I used that

Bi11

Love the growl and then the pop

Bi11

Welcome. The M is great fun. Having bought mine (from Somerset!) back in November, I have only really driven it the past couple of weekends.

Hope you enjoy.

Bi11

Agree, much better now

Bi11

Spotted near Oundle this afternoon - roof was up!

Bi11

Well done, interested to see what colour you go for, especially on a silver z3m

Bi11

I have tried a sonic deterrent in the loft, didn't seem to make much difference. Living out in the sticks, we get plagued with mice every autumn, coming into the loft, sheds and garage. As Badman suggests a (hungry) cat may help. Personally I Find the best solution is to have poison (in proper bait ...

Bi11

Blimey, you've had a busy weekend. Looks smart.

Bi11

Love the wheels. Am considering something similar staggered for the z3m

Bi11

Best of luck and echo everyone else's comments

Bi11

You are a lucky so and so!

The wide bodied porker is a bit special. I will be interested how you rate the two of them in 12 months time.

At least it is being received a bit better here than by the coupe boys.

Bi11

2 cans of Castrol Edge and a Manns oil filter complete with 'o' rings. Figured I ought to get into the habit of an annual change.

Bi11

That will teach Autovogue to get back to you a bit quicker next time! Nice choice.

Bi11

Bet the journalist sat next to him needed clean underwear!

Bi11

Very good. Like the mousetraps!

Bi11

Insured mine with Classic Line Insurance, must be second car, garaged, 3000 miles pa, pleasure use only. Doubt they are any cheaper than RH (who I didn't know about at the time, but will get a quote from them at renewal time). M was only marginally more than a 2.2.

Bi11

A mate of mine had been having a bit,of fun working his way through the lonely hearts ads, met someone who he wanted to take a bit more seriously, so decided he better have a bit of a check up to get a clean bill of health. Screamed the place down when he had the internal scrape, reckoned that the n...

Bi11

Excellent, looks in good order.
You won't regret it!

Bi11

Personally, I think that it looks very smart and I am sure that Shantybeater would approve if I put one on his old s54, but at the same time my head tells me that I only use the car as a fair weather toy and it would end up cluttering up my garage.

Still tempting though!

Bi11

Likening the Matt silver too. Welcome.

Bi11

Don't know where you are geographically, but The Ace Cafe (north London) has German car nights (BMW +merc). Never been, but they are meant to be quite good. Details on Ace Cafe website. If you don't mind lots of different makes of cars, then the Pistonheads Sunday Service meets might be worth a try....

Bi11

My front tyres are only 215/40/17, I kind of assumed that if I went to 18 inch wheels with 40 tyres I would get a bit more clearance?

Bi11

Mine is lowered and I have to be careful on poor country roads. Speed bumps are a definite no no. Seriously considering getting some 18" wheels just to give me a little bit more clearance (over the standard 17") but still keep the lowered look.

Bi11

Very nice. Are those hoops covered in red leather?

Bi11

Nice job

Bi11

Agree, cracking picture.

Bi11

Afraid my daily is a Freelander 2, complete opposite of the zed. It does go up a lot of very rough farm tracks and off road frequently, which the zed would never manage! When it goes in for a service the dealer always remarks it is nice to see one being used as it should be.

Bi11

I don't get great reception with the stubby aerial, but maybe the signal is not that strong around here. Does look better though!

Bi11

I started off looking at 2.2's, then progressed to 3.0, ended up with an M! Be patient and you will know when you see the right one.

Bi11

May not be to everyone's taste, but it's been done properly, it's been done the way you want it and there is not another one like it! Hope you get a decent spell of weather soon to enjoy driving around in it.

Bi11

Excellent

AC Schnitzer strut brace on eBay, might fit your z? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-SCHNITZER-STRUT-BRACE-/321063740501?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item4ac0e3e455 Item number 321063740501 (sorry, might not have pasted in the link properly, still haven't got the hang of t...

Bi11

I am 45 and bought my Z as a second car last autumn. Like you I had zero no claims and was starting from scratch. My other car, is on a company policy. I thought that the insurance might be a limiting factor, but if it is a second car, more than 10 years old, on a limited mileage and garaged over ni...

Bi11

You want to see the state of my Freelander after a week of driving up and down muddy farm tracks. I think when it goes in for a service the mechanics put a plastic cover on the drivers seat to keep their overalls clean! Partly why I bought a 2nd car (Z3M) was so I had a clean car at the weekend.

Bi11

A mate of mine's next door neighbour used to be an agent for supagard and Jonttt is correct, the cost is about £25. The mark up on it is huge, so the sales reps get big incentives to sell it, hence why they offer discounts off the car price. Can't say I have ever been asked if a car has been treated...

Bi11

From my limited experience I would second the eisenmanns, gives a nicer tune without being too rude boy. Not sure about cost, I paid £600 to leave them on mine.

Bi11

Looks a bit different to the engine bay of the z3m. I see your old man is keeping within reaching distance of the cakes!

Bi11

Chrome door handle covers
Chrome door pins
M pedal covers

Hopefully not too blingy!

And starting to work my way through shantybeater's suggested list of cleaning products.

Bi11

Bushmills!

more of a Glen Morangie man myself

Bi11

Hope you are on commission, placed my order today as well.

Bi11

Wow, what a huge amount of work and looks done to a high standard. Love the dark hardtop and the way you have taken some of the nicest parts of the M without trying to make it an M clone

Bi11

Thanks for the welcomes guys, will post a couple of pics at some point in its current guise (it's back to standard black roll hoops and s50 standard wheels). Thinking of copying Jonttt's chrome door handle covers and chrome door pins. Mark, will look out for EAC meets in the spring and try and get t...

Bi11

Time to come clean and admit that I am the lucky new owner of a certain silver s54. Been lurking (and learning) for a few months and leapt at the chance to own this car. I hope that I can continue to look after it to the same high standard that James has. A smashing bloke, with a lovely family. No i...
